To my dear family, fans and friends,
Last Monday evening was one of the most powerful moments for me as I watched Gilles acknowledge the extended standing ovation of the audience, basking in the glory of a perfect performance, with deep emotions in his eyes. It was a snapshot to remember.
Our Argentine Tango story was of a passionate couple, who quarrels, parts and makes up, creating a romantic, trance-like movement of two bodies in love becoming one heart, one mind, one soul. Gilles went into character and executed the drama in the dance floor flawlessly. He is such a talented and committed actor.
On Monday, April 6th, Gilles and I will dance the Paso Doble. The movements of the Paso Doble are designed around those made by the matador as he gracefully works his way around the bull and eventually slays it. The emotion of the dance is powerful, intoxicating and intense. It requires fierce drama and captive energy, as well as composure and stealth. Get ready to tune in and vote because the first few seconds of the dance is really something worth watching for.
Your show of love and affection is overwhelming. Gilles joins me in thanking you from the bottom of our hearts.
With love always,
Cheryl

Although tonight's score was a point less than last week, it sure didn't look any less than perfect for us viewers. The
choreography, the passion, the dress, the body and the tan
