Maksim Chmerkovskiy!

“It was very, very restricting,” Maksim confessed about being inside a costume for the show while dancing. “I tried to make it look easy. I feel like that’s the thing that we’re supposed to do. At the very least, this was the way I always approach my art. It has to be effortless. But this was very, very hard.”

He added, “There was limitation in moving. And I would have loved to do some more spins, turn, things of that nature. It wasn’t working because the mask, the way it was built, it’s built on a bicycle helmet. This was the best way that you could build the costume, but it wasn’t the best way to dance in one. I pulled my shoulder during the ribbon dance, the second number that we did, where I was told that I’m Will Ferrell.”
