The sequins are hitting the fan, people! Louis van Amstel has officially donned his neon badge and reflector vest to join Carrie Ann Inaba’s Anti-Gravity Task Force. Apparently, Jenna Johnson let a foot wander into the stratosphere during a routine, and Louis is NOT here for your atmospheric shenanigans. He’s out here backing Carrie Ann like she just solved a cold case involving a stolen mirrorball trophy. In the ballroom world, an 'illegal lift' is basically a felony punishable by being forced to wear a tuxedo made of itchy burlap. Louis thinks the rules are the rules, and if you aren’t dragging your heels across the parquet like a sad Roomba, you’re basically a common criminal. He’s practically calling for a SWAT team to descend from the rafters the next time a pro gets too ambitious with a pirouette. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just wondering if anyone checked the gravity levels in the studio. Maybe the air conditioning was just set to 'levitate'? Either way, Louis is standing his ground. If your partner’s feet leave the floor, you better be prepared for a stern lecture and a permanent ban from the glitter buffet. It’s a tough world out there for people who just want to fly.
