It was too safe and agree with Bruno about your arms.” Len: “Better to be safe than sorry, I liked the mix. I liked the whip on the turns, I liked the dance very much. Maybe it needed a tad more flare.” Julianne: “I get the frustration, it is exhausting and tiring, but don’t forget who you are. You did an awesome job, agree about your arms.
