Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) Season #22, Episode #6 featured performances from famous dances. Kim Fields and her dance partner Sasha Farber chose “You Can’t Stop the Beat” from Hairspray for the Jive. Marissa Jaret Winokur from Hairspray was in the audience to enjoy Kim’s rendition. <\/p>\n

The pre-dance “package” started with a flashback to the previous week’s elegant but controversial dance<\/a>. Kim complained that the comments from last week “did not have anything to do with my performance.” Those comments were directed at the technical execution which did feature the Viennese Waltz that the judges expected. Len and Maks were hyper-critical on this score. Kim lamented how the scathing criticism would impact Keo (I surely did!). As the choreographer, Keo was responsible for the dance selection. Next, we are treated to a scene showing the depth of Keo’s angst. He told the crew he did not want cameras following him, and he would not talk to anyone. Keo sat down and just scrolled through his cell phone.<\/p>\n

Understandably, Kim went on to say “I’m glad I got my Aussie back.”<\/p>\n

Kim went on to acknowledge that she has put “mind-boggling” demands on her body to execute on the dances fans have come to expect. It turns out, according to Sasha, that Kim has been dancing through pain. During a rehearsal, Kim pulls up in the middle of a step. Kim’s voice over indicated that Kim has been feeling strain just above her ankles. Sasha insisted on figuring out what was going on. So off to the MRI scan for Kim! =gulp=<\/p>\n

The doctor was very clear: Kim suffered a stress fracture bad enough to take her out the competition. Kim was NOT having any of that.<\/p>\n

Kim told the interviewer that she had two kids; she of course implied that no pain compares to childbirth so a stress fracture will NOT stop her! In another shot, Kim next implored Sasha not to change anything about his dance vision for the current performance or even for the rest of the competition. Kim wants to live up to her claim in this episode that she is “the one to watch”, the sleeper candidate!<\/p>\n

Off to Hairspray!<\/p>\n
