Pia Penttala proposed a radical change to the Dancing with the Stars program

TTK has already been a memorable experience for Pia Penttala.

Became known as Supernanny Pia Penttala there is one Dancing with the stars – program’s star students.

The dancers have a training period of several weeks behind them, the first live broadcast is this week’s Sunday.

Soon, his own dance experience is very thin, according to him, a wedding waltz and that’s it.

– I’m leaving from the bottom of the mountain, Pia laughs.

Of course, the non-existent dance experience has been reflected in the rehearsals. They will soon be a teacher and a dance couple Marko Keränenwho, according to Pia, has enough work.

For example, he brings up a dance where Marko asked Pia to look in a different direction than where her feet are going.

– I said, what the hell are you asking me for something like that, Pia laughs..

Laughter and humor are an essential part of the exercises, but they are not always helpful.

– They don’t help at the moment when we start doing the first choreography.

In the exercises, we started from the very beginning, that is, first we learned to walk. Pia walked around the hall as if she were on a catwalk.

There have been enough challenges in the exercises, as it should be. One such is music.

– The choreography had been hammered into my head and all I thought was a pike is a fish, a pike is a fish. Keränen then turned on the music.

At this point, Pian’s dance took a turn for the worse.

– Marko asked me, Can’t you hear the music. At that point it was him banging his head against the wall, not me. First there is the choreography, then comes the music, then the focus is on dancing, and then the legs go into knots, Pia laughs.

Pia had a proposal regarding the challenges brought by music.

– I suggested that we dance without music, the music was distracting.

– I don’t know if this can be included in the story. Or just put it on, Pia says and laughs.

Even though Pia asked the program one thing and another before, you can’t prepare for everything. Pia emphasizes how one’s own experience is one’s own experience, and that one’s own dance bubble is different from the dance bubble of others.

The exercises are quite comprehensive. Pia tells how the body has started to push out everything it has experienced.

– Last week in Länäri (Länsiväylä) I burst into tears when good music came on the radio and I thought, what a joke Pia, I’m proud of you. Well, now that I’m telling you this, I’m starting to cry again.

Dancing with the Stars starts on Sunday at 19:30 on MTV3. See all program information at telkku.com
