Anna Ermakova and dance partner Valentin Lusin are considered the favorites on “Let’s Dance”, despite having a hard time understanding each other linguistically. The couple is working on a special and complicated choreography for the next show, which Valentin drew up with stick figures. The sketch looked pretty sexed up, with one figure hanging upside down in the air with legs spread and hugging the body of the other male. Anna and Valentin want to dance this naughty sketch in the next show.
Their linguistic starting position is also unique, with Anna just learning German and speaking Russian with her mother, while Valentin speaks all three languages. Valentin prefers to speak German on the floor as he learned to dance in German, but Anna does not always understand instructions. As a result, trilingual gibberish ensues between them, and sometimes a drawing is needed to explain complicated dance steps and figures.
Their efforts are paying off, however, as they scored a lot of points in the last show thanks to their sweaty training. Their Slowfox performance to Britney Spears’ “Oops, I did it again” was hot and well-received.
This week’s “Let’s Dance” live show is all about the 80s, and one can only hope that Anna and Valentin will understand each other blindly on the dance floor.
