We are welcoming back a return guest for us this week on AfterBuzz TV, in honor of the release of the Baz Luhrmann's Gatsby, it's Henry Byalikov. We will have the opportunity to ask him about the film and what it was like working with stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan, so get those questions in now! Remember, add them to the comments below.
You can find the AfterBuzz TV DWTS show here, Wednesday at 9pm PT.
Suri, Jake and I are definitely back this week. We are waiting for confirmation from Anna. UPDATE: Anna will be joining us. Hooray!
It's semifinals week and you KNOW we have a lot to say!
Love the Art Deco! Love the Re-imagining of Gatsby!! How quickly did the actors learn the dances? Were there any funny moments that might make the gag reel when DVD comes out?

ReplyDeletePS henry hope ur charms are bringing u luck xoxoxox
Kellie and Derek's tango is the best dance this week! I felt like a few others were overscored by 1 point or so.
ReplyDeleteKellie and Derek's foxtrot with Henry and Anna in week 5 was amazing and is still the best foxtrot all season! Bruno said it had the sophisticated elegance of a scene in The Great Gatsby and is something Baz Luhrmann would use. I saw the trailers for the movie that same week and thought Kellie and Derek could be Leonardo and Carey since they danced/acted out the part so well and even look like them. Then I heard Henry worked on the movie and made their foxtrot like it. Maybe he could talk about that dance if there's time.
What does everyone think about DWTS dropping the results shows next season? I like watching it 2 nights a week. No more encores or musical guests, I guess.
Hi Henry did you enjoy choreographing the movie? I especially love the soundtrack did you have it playing while you worked on choreo? Did you read the book before you started on set?:) I really do hope youre are pro next season!
ReplyDeleteWaves hi from Asia
Hi Henry! what was it like working on Gatsby with such talented stars? if you were a pro this season which of the dances that were chosen by the fans this week would you have liked to have gotten and choreographed? #HenryForPro

ReplyDeleteHey Henry- and gang:)
ReplyDeleteCurious as to your thoughts about Tuesday night being elminated next fall? How will that affect the troupe? It sure is going to be an action packed Monday night- does that mean less couples? less dances per night? shorter dances? any insight is most appreciated...thank you much!!!
Hello everyone! Ana from Argentina! First of all, Kristyn and Suri you guys do an amazing job! I have to say I really enjoyed Monday night but Tuesday night was WAY TOO PREDICTABLE.
ReplyDeleteTwitter, blogs, etc, have been blowing up on how the show is fixed and after reading all of this I went back on youtube and saw Afterbuzz finale recap of season 15 All Stars and Suri was talking about the show being "fixed" and that the exact same thing happened with Shawn and Melissa.
I know NOONE is going to come out and say it but this show, as great as it is, because of all this is losing major credibility. I've been reading things like: "They're never going to give Derek another MBT" and I HATE having to believe this. I also think that just like it happened with Tony (he never won so he HAD to win) they're doing it with the Chmerkovskiy brothers. They can't give it to Maks because of his "rep" so they're going to give it to Val.
Politics…
Do you guys think the show needs a major change and new faces are extremely necessary? Because maybe all of this issue is part of how biased the whole thing has become.
If Val & Zendaya win it might just be because she has danced great all season and people voted for her. I believe the conspiracy theories discussion was put to rest by Shirley Ballas. Basically it's a t.v. show and the drama & antics are to get people talking and interested in the show. It's working.
DeleteHenry & Anna your dance last night to Stay was beautiful... Who do you think from week 1 to now has shown the most improvement technically, performance wise and overall?
ReplyDeleteHello To My Sweet Henry! Would you ever consider receiving any advice from your fans and incorporating it into any of your routines? Much Love To You! XOXO
ReplyDeleteAnna or Henry, do you know why Ali's music was changed 30 minutes before the show went live on Monday and what kind of effect does something like that have on a pro dancer and tehir celeb partner?
ReplyDeletehenry
ReplyDeleteWhat is the choreographic process that you go through to produce each performance? Do you write elements / steps / ideas down or do it all in the studio? Also do you have the music prior to starting the choreography?
merci Teagan for helping me to translate xoxo
thanks..kristyn
Hi our Sirdancealot!!
ReplyDeleteWhat are your plans for the "DWTS off season"?? Are you excited for the summer campaigning of HENRYMANIA to get you that WELL DESERVED PRO SPOT? Lxx xoxo
Hello!Would love it if you guys would mention this Twitition( http://twitition.com/zw3oq ),I really want Anna back on next season and am using it to make that point!This season just wasn't the same without her!Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Bro love ya
ReplyDeleteAtt Quina
Hey, Henry!
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1-10 how important is story telling in dance for you? Love you lots!
Steph Pham
Anna & Henry:
ReplyDeleteI saw in one backstage interview Val talk about how difficult it was for him to learn hip hop. Talking about how he hears the music differently as a ballroom dancer. As a viewer who likes hip hop I thought this was interesting. I would assume that in general as a dancer he could pick up choreography quickly. I remember a few seasons ago Karina had a hard time with hip hop with Apolo. To the pros: why is learning hip hop so difficult for a ballroom dancer? I thought Val did a great job by the way.
Hey guys - Love the show! My question is for anyone who knows anything about flamenco. I've only seen it on the show 2x on the show. What is it supposed to look like? All I know is that there is a lot of stomping involved.
ReplyDeleteIn general how can the judges critique dances they have no background in. For example I thought Len's comment that he wanted to see more connection in the Afro Jazz didn't make a lot of sense since it's really a tribal dance. Thoughts.
Any info on what the finale dances will be, besides the freestyle? Will there be an insta dance? Will they have to re-do a previous dance? Not much info on what dances and the # of dances. Hoping someone knows something?
ReplyDeleteHi guys. It's Toni from D.C. I just wanted to know your opinion on the anatomy of a great freestyle. What is the best approach in putting one together? What mistakes have you seen from others in the past where the freestyle didn't really work (costume, theme, dance etc). What approach do you think each couple will take in putting together their freestyle?
ReplyDeleteHi Kristyn. I thought your blog about ending the Zendaya debate was great. I'm glad you addressed it in direct way. I hope we can talk about the dancing tonight....and leave the conspiracy theories at the door. If the question comes up direct them to your blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I took some flack for it, but I stand by my words. :) No conspiracy theories on air tonight. We have dancing and Gatsby to talk about!
DeleteQuestion for everyone:
ReplyDeleteWho do you think will win?
Who do you want to win & why?
Who do you think is the best dancer?
Who do you think has the biggest fan base?
Who is the most improved?
Another question for everyone:
ReplyDeletePick your favorite dance of the season & why (any dance including group/challenge dances).
What do you think the final standing will be for 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th? This question is for all.
ReplyDeleteWHEN you make Pro you heard me right WHEN bc they would be crazy not to make you Pro plus we would beat them up if they didnt Who would you choice to do a Trio with :)
ReplyDeleteLuv ya Bro Att: Quina
Hey Bro WHEN you make Pro next season dont you think it would be brilliant for #Dwts to get @Teagspointe on the show as a Troupe Member xoxoxox What yall have is TrueLove
ReplyDeleteAtt: Quina
Our Hearts are grateful to Kristyn Burtt & @afterbuzztv for your time & consideration for Henry & DWTS! Thank you for always having a Marvelous Show! Best to you! Margo xo
ReplyDeleteIm also curious about the Tuesday night change next fall.. so what exactly does it mean? Less time for the troupe? and what exactly is happening?
ReplyDeleteI love the question a few posts up about how hard is it for a ballroom dancer to learn hip hop? Style and movement wise. I agree, Val did great for a first time hiphop thing.
Does anyone agree that the judges are playing around with the scores? Lately I see the trend the give low scores, high scores the next or something. Im confused sometimes about the judges.
Yes to Henry for pro next season.. and Sasha, Emma, Wit..
Cant wait to watch Gatsby soon! xo
