perhaps he just wasn't comfortable wearing those skin tight pants and it was a constant battle with the costume makers cause they kept making them too tight. i doubt seriously he has ever worn a dance belt.

Given Apolo's profession, and he was still competing in March, I'm thinking his legs and butt are already pretty well toned.

I'm very, very sad Laila didn't win. I've never really liked Apollo this season. Don't know why...maybe the dragging foot that was never downgraded...who knows? I liked Joey and Laila and wanted Laila to win so badly. I think it's harder for the women amateurs, as the professional women do a lot of the work, so the males didn't have to really move as much as Laila did. Does anyone know if the judges marks on Monday night had anything to do with Laila losing?

I don't know Texannie, I know that male figure skaters wear dance belts, not sure about speed skaters. But it would not be unheard of for a skater to wear one.

Quite honestly I didn't like Laila's freestyle dance on Monday night. So it didn't change my opinion at all. The interview on GMA this morning was really cute (I caught it on their website). You can tell that the dancers all really like one another and their comments to one another are funny. They gave Apolo a birthday cake. Not bad, got a birthday cake and a mirror ball trophy for his birthday -- all in all not a bad celebration...LOL!

Well, dang it, my eyelids shut right after Laila got 3rd place and didn't open again until 4 am. I'm happy for Apollo & Juliann. I would have been happy with any of the three winning. Good season! Actually the best imo.

Texannie, have you never seen what speed skaters wear?...it's a second skin.

I saw Joey on The View and he lost about 25 lbs on the show!! Wow! And this may be a dumb question, but what's a dance belt?

If it's a dumb question then put me on the dumb couch too.

yes, OG, but perhaps it fits differently than trousers. a dance belt is sort of a dance version of a jock strap. it help the tights not hug each part so explicitly. i will never forget when i was doing theater while i was in high school. the boys put on their costumes, some of which involved tights and let's just say, everyone was uncomfortable! after the rehearsal, the dance master came in and said 'ok, all you boys bring a belt from home tomorrow'

I believe the skate skin is probably very comfortable and they don't wear a 'dance belt' with it. LOL

Girls wear "dance pants." Same principle... Sorta like a second skin. Keeps things from being exposed. To see a men's version, check out http://www.dancewearsolutions.com/default.asp?PAGE=2&CATEGORY=Undergarments.

Costa, I didn't see any dance pants there that could be covered by what some the female dancers wear.

The men's version is there, and it's called "Men's Dance Belt." What I've always worn is at http://www.discountdance.com/frame_set.php3?mf=/dancewear/page_UG_p1.html (the thong, and no, it doesn't really cover what it should but those are the only undies I'll wear!!!). <grin> Is that what you meant???? <snicker>

Wow. Thanks. I had no idea. I am currently working with a local community theater that is running La Cage aux Folles and part of my backstage work is helping dress the men in drag. Poor things are using duct tape to tame the family jewels. But I guess the dance belt isn't quite enough camouflage for what they are trying to achieve.

Speed skaters have incredibly muscular legs, thighs, and, I'd imagine, rears. I doubt that Apolo's large derrier was due to fat. Remember Eric Heiden? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Heiden ETA: Oh, man, Eric Heiden won all those medals in the 1980 Olympics!! It seems like yesterday!

Apolo (or was it Juliane?) commented on the size of his thighs in the first week or two of the season. I think one of 'em said it might be hard for him since his legs are so muscular. (Ya gotta admit, how do you stand with your ankles together if you've got giant thigh muscles? <wink>) That still doesn't account for the fact that he wanted the BOTTOMS of his pants adjusted. That has nothing to do with width!

Oh crud. Sigh. Sorry. Sherbabe's post started out talking about the bottoms of his pants, and then went on to talk about Apolo's bottom. No wonder I was confused. Really, two different things, yes?

This is going around the internet, and you may have already received it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCNahg3OjUs I think the guy is pretty darn good, sure better than his partner.

I know this is the wrong season but I can't find season 2. Lisa Rinna is staring in Chicago! She had her debut here in Portland. Her dancing was fantastic!! She's going to Dallas??, then opens with Harry playing opposite her on Broadway in July. The audience here loved her and they're not an easy crowd.
