00:00Tell me how you guys found out that you guys would be paired up together.
00:03Well, we found out in the first meet.
00:06And I was like, Brooks walked into the room and I was like,
00:09wow, I've never had that before.
00:12I did the same thing. I was like, holy moly, I'm going to be distracted.
00:16How would you describe your dance skills this season,
00:19on a scale from one to ten in general?
00:21I don't know. You should tell. I mean, you know better.
00:23I don't know the comparison.
00:24Like, from one to ten, like, two and a half?
00:28No, I'm joking.
00:29Stop. I was like, you told me I was good. You liar.
00:31No, like a solid eight. Like a solid eight.
00:34How would you describe it, Brooks?
00:35I thought I was like more of a ten, to be honest.
00:39We'll get there.
00:40Yeah, we'll get there. We'll get there.
00:41I have to start somewhere. So yeah, I guess I'm about an eight. Yeah.
00:44I have some dance background, so it's like coming back to me a little.
00:48What made you want to be a part of this season?
00:51Well, I mean, I couldn't say no to this,
00:53because I've watched it since I was like a young girl.
00:56And so it's like a dream come true.
00:57Me and my sisters are huge Dancing with the Stars fans,
00:59so they are thrilled as well to come support Gleb and I and watch us live.
01:05Gleb, is there any advice that you shared with her about being a part of this season
01:09and being a part of this journey in general?
01:11Make sure you point your toes, listen to your partner, stay focused.
01:16Yeah, and don't miss any rehearsals.
01:18I will not. That I will not be doing. Yeah. How could you?
01:22Is there a song or an artist that you're looking forward to hopefully dancing to this season?
01:27I would say Britney Spears. She's a fellow Louisiana girl.
01:32We went to the same dance school growing up.
01:34So and, you know, she's like an L.A. queen.
01:37So I'm moving to L.A. for this show.
01:39So I want to like embody my Britney, my inner Britney.
01:42That would be perfect. Maybe there'll be a Britney theme night.
01:45Maybe. Maybe. Is there is there a theme night?
01:49If you could come up with a theme night, what would it be for both of you guys?
01:53Have like a yellow python with us.
01:55Totally. A hundred percent. Yeah, exactly.
01:59Well, now it has to happen because we need to see that dance move.
02:03I'm going to make that happen. We're going to make that happen.
