‘Dancing With the Stars’ Dancer Diego Pasillas Reacts After On-Air Fall During Show
Nothing can break Diego Pasillas.
And even though the dancer took an accidental tumble as part of the ensemble during the Newsies portion of Dancing With the Stars’ Disney-themed opening number on Nov. 2, he still managed to seize the day with an epic recovery.
Nevertheless, a slightly embarrassed Pasillas took to social media following the episode to address the slip-up, writing in a video, “How Disney night went for me…”
“You guys,” Pasillas said with a snort. “I just ate it on national television.”
But wrongs will always be righted, and the professional dancer went on to demonstrate “what I was supposed to do,” flawlessly marking the correct moves for the “Seize the Day” dance.
“But instead, I said…,” Pasillas continued, imitating the way he fell during the live performance. Yet, as he noted, “The show must go on.”
Indeed, the show must and, thanks to Pasillas, the show did.
Soon, the dancer was inundated with praise for the flawless way he handled the tumble. After all, to the untrained eye, the way Pasillas kicked his leg from the ground and managed to get back into the routine in record time almost made the fall look like intentional choreography.
