It was obvious Nastia Liukin was going to pick 2008 as her “most memorable year,” after all, she won the All-Around gold medal in gymnastics at the Olympics. Nastia and her partner Derek Hough danced a Tango, and although I failed to see the connection to the Olympics in her performance– other than all the acrobatics she performed in her routine – it was lovely. Nastia was wearing the chicest costume that anyone has ever worn during the competition (well, at least this far), a black lace shift dress with slits at the side, that was very sexy but not at all street-walk-y, accessorized with a red flower in her hair and sensible sandals. Nastia’s splits and aerial tricks won the first “10” of the competition, so the heat is now definitely on for all the other couples.
You don’t know this about me, but I will tell you. I LOVE interpretive dancing. It’s ridiculous and amazing and I am 100% for it. So you can imagine my excitement upon hearing that the night’s dances would be inspired by “the most memorable year” of the dancer’s lives. It honestly made me wish that Charlotte McKinney had not been eliminated last week, because god knows she would’ve had an amazing story to tell. But, there were still plenty of tears, and laughs (mostly tears) during this inspiring night. On to the dancing!
