Watch Shawn & Mark’s latest dance from Week 5 and read a note from her personal DWTS Blog:
The Halfway Mark
Hey Everybody!
So we are working our way onto week 5 and its getting more and more intense every day! Last week was a lot of fun with the Lindy Hop, and it was, by far, the hardest one we have done yet. We both felt extremely proud once we had finished it, but of course were a little disappointed when the judges told us they didn’t enjoy it. What we loved so much about the routine was that I got to incorporate gymnastics into it so I could remind everybody watching of who the real Shawn Johnson is and how it is I got here. We tried to tell a story through the routine and entertain the crowd, but did come up a little bit short. We know that we can’t please everybody every week, but are putting in a lot of extra effort this week to try and shoot ourselves back up in the judges standings.

This week we have the Viennese Waltz and oh my goodness is it hard! With this style of dance it is basically the same as the dance we did the first week, but just sped up times 10 with an extremely raised difficulty level. Mark is starting to challenge me more and more now to bring out what ever it is he sees inside of me.
I still don’t understand how he got me to do everything it is I’ve done up to now, but I also can’t wait to see what it is he comes up with for the future. You have to remember though that if you want to see us challenge each other even more and try out even more dances you have to remember to VOTE! That’s what keeps us in the competition. Trust me when I say Mark and I are trying to stay in this until the end and just hope that you guys are behind us!
Love,
Team Shark
