- Hi guys, so we're on set of Spinning Out here in Canada.
I'm playing Bruce and I'm gonna be taking you guys
on a gorgeous behind the scenes tour.
Let's go.
(upbeat music)
So gotta introduce you to my very good friends,
Mr. Gabe, Ms. Leah.
- I'm Johnny Weir, I play Gabe and Gabe is a really nice,
yet also very ruthless character on Spinning Out,
and he skates with Leah, played by Kaitlyn Leeb.
- Hi, I'm Kaitlyn Leeb and I play Leah.
I'm just ruthless. (Johnny laughs)
- Diva.
- Oh my God! - Yeah, diva.
- So we are pair partners.
We skate together, we hate together.
- And we compete together. - Yeah.
We're out for tears and blood.
(Kaitlyn giggles)
- Very much tears and blood.
I think I have a mild concussion but it was worth it,
it was really worth it. - You did amazing.
- Oh my God, thank you! - You did really well.
Your rotation and your positioning was super.
- It's a little flutzy.
Yeah, a little flutzy.
You guys don't know what that is 'cause that's skating terms
for like me and Johnny Weir to talk about.
- This is a skating nut.
- She is a skating nut, she's a skating nut.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah you know everything.
- And you're a skating icon!
- Well thank you. - Yes.
- But yes.
- You guys, this is who I've affectionately referred to
as my skating mom,
she's really gotten my choreography together for our scene,
she's the choreographer of residents
on set here at Spinning Out, Sarah Kawahara.
Tell us, how did you get into choreography, what happened?
- Well, I was a performer in Ice Capades for many years
and after I retired from performing,
I really wanted to take that energy and the creativity
and put it into a whole other field,
and choreography seemed to be the natural step.
- So when I first started skating,
I really could barely go backwards, but now,
I'm really good at going backwards.
And turning.
Well you're so brilliant at it,
what's something when you're teaching newbies like me,
it looks really hard to teach them but it's kind of easy?
- I think that it's all about the ena and the haki.
- Tell them what the ena and the haki is.
- It's when you have your balance on one side
and then you invert to the other side.
You can always add a little shoulder into it,
and it gives you versatility.
- I love versatility, I love the ena, I love the haki,
I just wanna like, just,
all the time!
- Absolutely, you know with a little flourish
at the end never hurts. (laughs)
- It's like when in doubt add a flourish!
(upbeat music)
Oh my God, my skates.
We love to have a bold skate guard
so they don't get nasty tink tinks on your blades.
You know you gotta protect these little blades.
I like a bold pop of color.
I also like my seven year old girl skating bag.
Oh my gosh, I've got my,
these are my pads, but I'm wearing most of them right now,
but this is a little disc that you put on your ankles
so it doesn't bruise.
This is another little disc
that you stick your big toe through this
so this little disc protects your bunion.
'Cause really, my ankles and feet
are black and blue bruise maps,
just feet shaped bruise maps,
'cause I love to skate so much now,
so skaters' feet are usually like ouchy
and they go through a lot, but that's all.
Oh and then I also have, I also have,
I also have, just in case,
I have my lines in case I forget them.
Oh my God, I have to practice.
She's an actress now!
Well I know you wanna see more,
I don't wanna lose my little soaker,
so I'm just gonna pop these in my purse
with my shoesies, don't wanna forget those.
And let's go see what's going on on set!
(upbeat music)
Hi, wow! - Wow!
Welcome to the hair and makeup trailer!
- It felt less cold when it was 5 in the morning.
So come around,
we're gonna do a little baby touch up together,
come come come.
Come on, come on.
Okay, so you're a little shiny,
you're a little like, ugh, she got too dewy.
How do we like to apply the powder?
- We love to always tap off the excess powder.
- 'Cause you don't want too much powder because?
- It settles into the fine lines,
it makes you actually look older.
- What fine lines? (make up artist chuckles)
Now for you, I'm minding my own business,
I was wearing a hat all morning,
but I don't wanna wear it anymore,
but I feel like I need some hairspray
'cause she needs a zhuzh,
but I don't wanna hairspray it everywhere and get crunchy.
What's a good trick?
- A good trick is spray the brush.
- I love a brush spray! - Brush spray.
- So we spray the hairspray on the brush,
and then it kind of controls where the product goes
so you don't end up with helmet hair.
- [Hair Stylist] Exactly, and we're just trying to calm down
any fuzzies or anything that the hat may have created.
We're just smoothing and controlling.
- And look at the difference!
See how just putting that in, it smoothed it down up here
with some spray?
Fierce.
Oh my God, that blow dry you gave me this morning,
look at her, she survived hat hair
and like four hours of skating.
- Fabulous, it was the moisture we put in.
- 12 hours of skating.
So slays makeup, slays hair,
they definitely slayed my face and hair today
and thank you guys so much for teaching us
and taking your time with us today!
- Thank you. - No worries, thank you.
- I gotta continue my investigations you guys, bye!
- (laughs) Bye!
(upbeat music)
- So welcome to the mysterious,
gorgeous world of wardrobe trailer.
These are some of our fave looks from the series.
This is this gorgeous little frock
that Ms. Kat wore, this was her Sectionals outfit.
We love that it has just a little bit of extra length
on the back so we don't give any bum bum moments,
which is, we love a bum bum moment,
but maybe not on the ice, they could take a little bit
off your artistic expression for that.
Faux fur is great, we've got faux fur in spades.
Faux fur aplenty.
Now, this is the only thing about this figure skating world
that is a little bit against the grain
for figure skating in general.
Figure skaters wear a lot of real fur.
There's a lot of ladies that like to wear real fur.
This was also Kat's gorgeous little moment.
This is for her test skate.
We love a test skate, very major, gotta show those judges
that you know what's up.
Now, meanwhile, Kat's little sister comes out
in this little moment, which definitely raises some eyebrows
on the rink, it's a little small, it's a little,
doesn't leave too much to the imagination,
so Kat had some feelings on Serena's little mini frock.
But then, Ms. Carol,
played by none other than Ms. January Jones,
wears this gorgeous scrunchie, which good luck finding this!
(chuckles nervously)
But yeah, love this look.
So cute, so great.
You know, what this really reminds me of,
just the immaculateness of this trailer,
and really the immaculateness of the crew of Spinning Out
is that your team has to be so passionate about you,
and when your team is so passionate
about the project they're making,
people can be their best selves,
like look at me, I'm thriving!
This team is amazing, the crew is amazing.
Who am I, Johnny Weir?
Johnny!
I hope you had so much fun in that gorgeous tour,
make sure you watch Spinning Out, it's so much fun.
Hope you enjoyed the tour, I gotta go.
(blows kiss) Bye!
