So You Thought You Could Dance with Mark & Chelsie

Welcome to Younghollywood. com. Joe Wilderman for TV Guide online and Young Hollywood. We're here with Mark and Chelsea. You guys brought such an amazing energy to the show. People loved watching you dance together. You must be so proud, you came so far.

I got further than I would have ever expected, so I'm I'm just happy to make it into the top six.

Now, you started dancing because you were shy and wanted to meet, make friends and meet people. Did you ever imagine we performing in front of millions of people and millions of people would be voting for you?

Oh my gosh, if someone would have told me when I was nine years old that I would be on a national television show dancing. Um I think I would have fainted or dropped dead or just blown up out of excitement. I don't think I even got that it was like a TV show. Like I just felt like we performed in front of a studio audience and we learned a few dances and like it was just this crazy learning experience. I think I might be a little shocked at when I go back home to see the amount of people that are supported me and stuff. I feel so like normal, like when people like, if people ever stop me and they're like, ask her an autograph, I'm like, what? Like, Yeah. Are you sure? I think my mom was telling me the night she's like, yeah, you're on the news tonight. I was like, what? I was on the news. Like I think I was more shocked that I was on the news, like then I've actually like been on the show the whole time. I was like so excited.

We've heard a lot of great feedback, but was there any criticism that you think you will will take with you through your career?

It was always good criticism. I remember gave me a comment that I didn't get into character enough in my Argentinian. So, um, that really helped me because I I really made a focus on getting into the character.

And it was very intense this experience, but what will you miss the most?

It's so weird that I'm going to say this, but I think I'm just going to miss the everyday wear and tear of things, you know what I mean, like the everyday push and um the craziness of it all.

for you? You're getting a little emotional.

I know. I'm sorry. I like started getting like chokey when you said that. Um, really just the whole experience because it's been it's been amazing and just the little times that we've been together between, you know, that and and the hardest times of my life.

Anything you want to say to your fans that have voted every week?

I would just like to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to stay on the show for so long and learn and grow and everything. I really, really appreciate it. The little things like the little notes that I would get on my space or whatever. Um, those type of things was what kind of kept me going in in the hard times.
