Chelsie, 20, revealed to RadarOnline.com that dancing doesn’t come that naturally to her 21-year old partner. “It’s not like he was born with so much natural dance talent,” she said. However, Louie is getting better. “He’s doing really well right now,” Chelsie gushed about him. “I’m really proud of him!”
Vito’s known for the “double cork front side 1080” trick in snowboarding and Chelsie told RadarOnline.com that he’s going to have a trick on the dance floor too. “He’s going to learn how to seduce people with his eyes,” she said. Chiming in, Louie agreed: “I’m going to learn to seduce people with my hips. That’s my goal.”
Dancing is definitely a big change for the champion athlete, but since previous winners have been athletes Louie has some hope. He offered, "If I keep progressing the way I am I think I can start getting a handle a little more."
