Dancing with the Stars competition came on strong last night and dancing duo Aaron Carter and partner Karina Smirnoff weren't going to make it with the star's sluggish feet.
To cure the need for speed, partner Karina took Aaron to Elite Athletics outside Hollywood to work with trainer Jade Molina.
Molina, who has over fourteen years in the fitness biz, has worked with top athletes in the NFL, MLB and NBA and served as an international lecturer and consultant for the Guatemalan National Sports Federation and Polish Olympic Committee.
"You gotta work for it," Carter said on the show last week. "And I'm working for it."
After mentioning the other challenges they've faced would make "this one look like a walk in the park" or "a spa treatment" compared to the jive, Karina knew she needed help to pick up the pace of Aaron's dancing feet.
"For the jive this week," said Smirnoff. "Aaron's footwork has to be sharp, precise and very quick."
Enter Jade Molina, shown right, who told Aaron he'd be "training [him] like an athlete". Molina took Carter through intense series of timed footwork assignments, ladder and box drills and motivating him by mentioning his "11-year-old daughter could move quicker than that."
"Now that I've been through this training," said Carter on last night's Dancing with the Stars. "I'm ready to kick it up a notch."
The two busted up the floor jiving to the hit song "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister and rang in a standing ovation from the crowd.
Even the judges were pumped with Bruno yelling, "Aaron, you kicked a**!" immediately following the dance and Carrie Ann Inaba saying, "Aaron you're like a little road runner! It was so good. It was really, really excellent."
While the dance left Carter breathless, it was nothing compared to the judges' scorecards when they revealed the couples' 29-point score, taking the lead in the competition. Tonight's "Results Show" will have the competitors facing more than just the judges as more eliminations are made. For info on showtimes in your area, click here.
