‘Dancing with the Stars” Bristol Palin Rehearses ‘Quickstep’ in Alaska!
September 26, 2010
“Dancing with the Stars” contestant Bristol Palin and her pro partner Mark Ballas exclusively invited ET to their rehearsals for week two of the hit dancing competition — and they’re telling ET all about their upcoming quickstep.
“Our approach is to keep having a good time in the studio,” Mark says about their routine. “We have a really good chemistry. We have a lot of fun … she’s never done anything like this before. So for me it’s all about her being comfortable and enjoying every second of it.”
Getting the footwork in order for the quickstep takes some work, but Bristol says, “I’m thankful that I have a great teacher and he has lots of patience.”
As for last week’s performance, the shy daughter of former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin tells ET, “I was nervous for the first few seconds of it, but once the costume was ripped off, I was having a good time, and I think it went well.”
Bristol says she was never nervous of getting rated by the judges, explaining, “I’ve been through such tough criticism before.”
