I really commend Britt for embracing the ‘push the envelope’ energy that gave Johnny a really interesting run on the show. Tons of challenges to silhouettes, ideas about gender and sex- and on her first season as a pro.
Britt brought back memories of Alyson's first seasons as a pro where she struggled to teach the Latin ballroom styles. They showed Alyson seeking advice from the other pros. But this year, I would imagine it is harder to get that support. We all need help outside our comfort zones. I hope Britt is able to come back and keep growing in the ballroom style.
Nothing wrong with Britt teachings skills. Only the outrageous expectations of Johnny to look like a pro. I mean damn! He did make it to the Semifinals
My good sis Britt. You are a talented, beautiful, amazing dancer and choreographer. I know you know this because women like us have to in order to move in this world. You were given a unicorn to work with and you guys were truly magical!
❤️
Britt is trained more in Contemporary and Jazz instead of ballroom, whereas Cheryl is the opposite.
a trick: you can watch series on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Cooper Dakota Definitely, have been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :)
I think you guys are being too hard on Maks here. He has never once said she is not an amazing dancer.
Right? Thank you! Everyone's taking his comments so personally, and he's just giving his opinion as a pro who does things differently. He's admitted as much several times throughout this series, but people still take his comments out of context, or twist his words to make them mean something else.
Agree! On the contrary, he keeps praising her skills in dancing! Even said she deserves the opportunity she's been getting. What he's been driving at is her skills as a teacher/coach.
@@jusaboutanything938 Maks cannot come after noone teaching and skills when he has been guilty of being a bad coach and teacher. I remember how he was on dwts, how he would throw a hissy fit at the judges when they would call him out on his choreography or skill. He is being a hypocrite.
The fact that Maks has to keep qualifying his opinion and saying it's not a knock on someone kind of pisses me off, ngl. Nobody can disagree with opinions anymore without getting angry. I thought Johnny and Britt danced perfectly, but I can also see what Maks is getting at. Idk, I think people need to take a step back and breathe a bit, and not take his comments so personally.
It's completely uncalled for.
And accusing him of racism is irresponsible and dangerous to someone's career.
Maks has had many partners on DWTS and in other competitions and never once do I recall anybody accusing him of such.
@@chloes.8026 I feel like so many people (this season especially) are babying the contestants more than usual?
Like, Nelly's a grown-ass adult who can handle himself. He doesn't need anyone to defend his honor. He's the weakest dancer left on the show, but for me and my viewing pleasure, he's also one of my favorites to watch, along with Justina, because I feel like everyone else was too... idk, but no one else really stood out for me.
@@harasnicole
I've noticed that as well and it really makes it hard to critique them when people are being so ultra sensitive about every little thing that is said that they don't agree with.
I know Len was considered a grouch sometimes, but I appreciated that he at least told it straight.
I feel this season has been tepid because of several reasons. They changed hosts in a year where consistency is truly needed.
There is no audience and their energy to feed off of. I wish they would have done a virtual audience.
The lights have been blinding. And we don't get to know the contestants the way we used to when Erin would talk and joke with them.
I'm grateful the show is on but it needs that family feeling with the celebrities and the dancers, judges and hosts that we've seen in the past.
Yep. We could have really used Tom's wit and humor this season after the year we've all had, as much as I like Tyra. Erin was never my favorite co-host, but even I can't deny that she was the best at making everyone feel comfortable (outside of her awkward flirty questions).
If they decide to bring Tyra back next season, they have *got* to get her a co-host, because she cannot do it all, and I don't think it's fair to ask her to.
@@chloes.8026 I agree. Maks is also known to not have a filter at times (remember when he popped back at Len?). That said, and Derek, Cheryl and Lindsey confirmed it, the show as a whole has moved a bit to blurring the lines. With Len judging, it was the dance it ___, so it needs to have elements of that dance. The freestyle at finals was the time to blur and blend dance styles. There have been some other issues with the scoring this season and difficulty that I also see. And Tyra needs to go.
Their jazz was really good. I am sad they didn't make it to the finale. Johnny and Nelly were my favorites.
The irony is I think Maks is trying to be as nice and respectful to Britt and being as sensitive as he can to the viewers by toning down his criticism. I get the sense that he has a lot more things to say but is filtering himself. Perhaps going the other way and being 100% with his criticism would clarify things and prevent him from being misconstrued. But he can't and shouldn't do that because like a colleague at work badmouthing their work in public is disrespectful, someone could lose their job etc. He is not saying she doesn't deserve to be a pro on this show, he is saying everyone has their strengths. Her contemporary dance this season was amazing and shows why she needs to be on the show, she also needs to be on the show because she's a black woman and diversity is important. It's ok to be weak at some things if you don't accept this mentality it makes it difficult to ask for help, I know this because I've been there.
I love this comment and you're absolutely right about Maks probably having a lot more to say that would help clarify his points, but he doesn't feel like he can because of the way people are coming for him anytime he says something that they don't agree with.
If anybody is hating, it's them hating on Maks just because they don't agree with him and he's not saying what they want to hear.
Carrie Ann was their judge for help in this redemption dance. I don’t believe she understands the basic but anyway, she video phoned her help in which helped some but, well, like you said, the basic hip action still wasn’t there. I hoped he’d get Derek to help explain that movement but no. Instead, another female when a male perspective and technician was needed. Bad luck of judge draw.
and carrie ann isn't a latin/ballroom dancer! they definitely needed help from someone trained in salsa, whether it was a man or a woman. :)
i'm a salsa dancer, and just like in his first salsa, i felt uncomfortable every time johnny was dancing a salsa basic step in this dance. i wanted so badly for him to have gotten it down - the weight shift, the cuban motion, the feel of it - but he just didn't.
Johnny just needed a male perspective way back after week 1 which would've really made a difference throughout his journey.
I think you are right on Maks. 😃
I'm confused if you KNOW Maks, and what he likes and how he is, WHY are people getting offended by his PERSONAL OPINION/Taste. You guys seriously? Its hos show?. Maks has NEVER shied away from telling anyone how it is, regardless of age, skin color, experience. Like he really just likes it or doesnt.
Speaking for myself (and I think some other people who are irritated feel similarly). The problem isn’t whether he does or doesn’t like the dance. Imo that’s irrelevant to the point being made. The part that’s an issue is that he blames all the issues of the dance on Britt’s teaching instead of considering that it might just be Johnny’s limitations. He hasn’t even seen their rehearsals or any background information yet he only blames Britt for what Johnny doesn’t excel at. He comes off as very hypocritical bc he has had a partner like Meryl who is excellent but still struggled with hip action and salsa technique despite his teaching.
The guru of ballroom is Len. The pro wit the resume to critique the other pros is Louie Van Amstel. Louie has taught ballroom to the majority of the older pros on the show. Derek Hough and Dmitry Chaplin have won emmys for their choreography. All of the pros have strengths and weaknesses. That is a good reason to keep your opinions to yourself.
If I'm honest from everything I've seen, Johnny just seems extremely blessed to be in Britts Presents. I have no doubt he just let's her do her thing with choreography. I also have heard Britt say many times she tries to give him steps that look good on him.
Absolutely. They support each other.
The salsa just wasn’t his dance. Britt did an amazing job. This salsa was so much better than their first one in my unprofessional opinion. Alan also helps her. This is her first season. She’ll grow and improve. It just grates when it’s implied that she doesn’t know or can’t teach the fundamentals.
I agree, that I think some of you are hard on Maks. You're forgetting Maks has never, NEVER said anything bad about Britt dancing. Listen to Maks comments, before you run your mouth, because it's ridiculous and your embarrassing yourself, if you listen to what Maks is actually saying. Also, if you don't like what his comments are, then its very easy, don't watch or listen to him.
Maks, you should be a fundamentals coach for the contestants.
It’s also extremely weird to see him call out Britt’s teaching for Johnny’s hip action in the basic steps when Meryl’s salsa literally had the exact same issues as this one. Her hip action wasn’t there so should we say It was Maks’ fault and that he needs help?
@j4Rose ice skaters have this issue it’s not a foreign thing. Charlie White had this same issues as Johnny was is Sharna fault that Charlie didn’t get Latin . This is just how their bodies function instead of him saying that...why blame Britt. What she has to do is make her choreography go along with what his body movement can produce.
A lot of times the pros get blamed for content and/or technique because they are the pro. Ultimately, they are the teacher and are "responsible" for that. Maks and Derek both teach outside of the show. I love how they can both break it down. It's not always perfect, but in the end it's them.
@@momto4beans yet thats how they teach. You can't tell another pro how they should teach bcoz you want it your way. Nobody should want to be a Maks
I really appreciate what Maks says starting at 8:41 - quality of education in each type of dance. My comment applies to the show as a whole, not to a specific pro or contestant: For me, what makes DWTS unique and interesting to watch is seeing and learning about each ballroom dance specifically. But I don't know if that is the original intent of the show? Another pro said something about - but please don't quote me - they joined DWTS as a ballroom dancer, to teach and be judged to ballroom dancing performance -- is DWTS still on this same page? I think the show needs to answer that question: what is the pro teaching / what is the expected outcome / how will it be judged.
Agree! It takes a trained eye to spot the problem and the root cause. If anyone could just come to teach and teach whatever, then the pro position wouldn't be so highly coveted and respectful. Then again the show is becoming more of a popularity contest, rather than a ballroom dance show -- which diminishes the authority and weighing power in the three judges deciding who's getting eliminated and who's going to the finale, when the "fourth judge" in Derek's words, makes the final ultimate call.
Derek is self-contradictory here in saying so, given he's one of the three judges sitting at the judge table giving scores each week. If the "fourth judge" -- namely, public votes completely overpowers, and dominates the all three judges's overriding opinions, then the show is losing every rule it's supposed to follow, or simply lack of rules, standards and structures, which has caused many people's confusion and for people to lose interest towards the show. It makes all three judges appear redundant and ludicrous, sitting there pretending judging and providing constructive feedbacks for the stars to improve, knowing the "fourth judge" -- the public votes would simply come in and annul their opinions and have a complete overhaul in favoring their favorite stars by manipulating votes, regardless how poorly their favorite star performs on the dance floor.
That's where the show's dilemma lies in, and people are frustrated about it. The show is losing its authenticity, charm, loyal fans and ratings due to it if they can't address this conflict in the voting and judging system. In recent years, they tried to make some changes, but unfortunately all turned out to be disastrous, rather than desirable, to tackle the real root problems on how the show operates. We''ll see how things go after this season, hopefully some real work can be started, or at least some positive perspective can be put into consideration the decision making process, to bring positive changes, and save a once fan-favored show, like DWTS.
Oh Johnny and Britt, our entire family missed them! Whenever you think of the duo, it’s like you hear two kids’ happy laughters coming from the backyard in bright summer, while they are playing on the grassland, telling stories to each other, and giggling non-stop. Too bad we can't see them again on Mondays!
Will Maks do a finale analysis, too? It's not yet uploaded, anyone knows? I seriously think he is jealous of their friendship, and wants to be part of the trio, lol 😉😂
Posting this in originally replying to another hater comment. To set the record straight, We really enjoyed Johnny's dance and his bond and friendship with Britt during this season. They're pleasant to watch, and had brought our households a lot of joy.
Found some hater comments are disturbing, and don't make sense and non-legit with personal attacks towards a seasoned pro like Maks. Anyone who has watched his entire season's analysis would be able to tell Maks adored Britt and Johnny big time! He was apparently frustrated with Johnny, being a strong celebrity contender for this season that any pro could have hoped for at any time, and who had great potential to go for MB, regretfully failed to make it to finale.
Johnny worked really hard, he wanted to win, and he deserves MB like every other strong contenders we've got fo this season. He delivered some stellar performances on contemporary, jazz, jive, in areas which correspond to Britt's dance background. But with some traditional ballroom dance, such as Salsa, as Carrie-Ann gave for his redemption dance during semi-finals, Johnny's performance wasn't impressive. All the three judges unanimously gave him 9 when 10s were generously thrown around that night. That salsa literally killed Jonny's any hope for the MB!! Maks knew what he's talking about, he knows his business. Probably he could have explained it in more details to make it easier to understand. But then it's gonna be a lecture. He appeared to be more disappointed and frustrated that Johnny's journey got shortened. Oh well....
If only Johnny had received proper ballroom dance training and did not get tripped over on some of the key ballroom technical details, especially those very fundamentals!! At this point, it's no secret among pros, or anyone with some proper ballroom training background to tell. Maks just happened to be the one who spoke it out, and who cared to do so. He did not hold back!
As always, you are so right, Maks. If Britt would have Johnny do a few of your basic and fundamental Dance&Co lessons, I think he would have been able to do a Salsa so very much better. Then, Britt can throw in the choreo and BAM a winner dance. The Jazz left me a little underwhelmed. Between Johnny's movement skill and Britt's amazing jazz and contemp background, I thought this would be gangbusters.
Oh goodness people. Maks isn't coming for Britt at all, and his critiques have nothing to do with her race.
He's critiquing her because this is her FIRST season and she's had to tackle this alone due to the covid restrictions and not being able to access the other pros during rehearsals, something Maks pointed out in the beginning of this season. The issues he's addressing would probably be some of the things that Britt would have gotten help if she could have gotten the support from the other pros.
As for the. first dance, I loved it. But I'm not a dancer and I don't see what Maks does or doesn't until he explains it, and sometimes not even then because Idk, I like what I like? 😂
The contemporary dance was so Be(you)tiful. 💙💙
Alan looked at their dances so it ain’t like she isn’t getting help. Plus Carrie Ann was there when they were going over their salsa
@@ashleypowell1722
That's 2 people. Thanks for emphasizing my point.
@@ashleypowell1722 Carrie Ann was there via webcam, though. It'd be totally different if she were allowed to be there in person (Alan, too) to give more tangible feedback.
@Terrie Josia
No, you're distorting the facts and limiting the scope of your comment by leaving out things that give his words context
Max has praised Britt all the way through this season and has expressed how happy he was for her because "if anybody deserved to be a pro, it's Britt" and she's "a wonderful person" -- Maks words.
Facts- they matter.
@@harasnicole
Good points.
You need to explain to your viewers that this was her FIRST season as a pro, as before she was part of the troupe.
Well said maks
I wonder if JW would have done better with a male partner. He was not a pairs skater. I also think your expectations of him were too high Max, because of Kristi and Merrill.
Male partner? But there is really nothing feminine about JW, fortunately. Mascara doesn't affect anything.
@@submarine8815 If you've been watching Johnny for longer than S29 of DWTS, you'd know that he embraces femininity like it's a second skin lol. There's definitely something feminine about him, but he just hasn't really shown that because, as a male, he's had to take on a more masculine lead.
That's just my theory, anyway. I feel like, with all the changes the producers made, they could've been more progressive by allowing Johnny to dance with a male pro if he chose to, but unfortunately, with how conservative the viewers apparently are, I don't think that would've gone over well.
I agree and I commented this before. He has a very feminine style of movement. He looks uncomfortable leading. If there was ever a time for DWTS to embrace a same sex partnership this was it.
@@harasnicole I know his history well. Thanks to the constant ballet in his head, he has a "ballet" style, not a "feminine one. It's not the same thing for me. Real "femininity" on the stage requires a different, feminine, muscle structure. He isn't meant for it.
@@submarine8815 He’s never taken ballet...
I do feel that Johnny may have made it further with a Jenna or Peta type of dancer. Just because they have more ballroom experience.
Not to be rude or anything but I don’t agree with this. Vernon was a contestant with potential, yet Peta never really fixed any of his technical flaws. With Jenna, even tho Nev is good, he still has technical issues. The semi finals was probably always going to be as far as Johnny went, unfortunately, due to the fan bases of the top 4 and I really don’t think any switching of the pros would’ve made any difference. I think Britt was the perfect person for him to take this journey with.
Great dance! What’s the song?
I am so confused and irritated. With the salsa specifically, why is he always blaming Britt?? Carrie Ann was literally there helping as well and honestly, Johnny’s body just doesn’t move well for those types of dances (salsa, cha cha, and samba). That really isn’t uncommon for the ice skaters either. Evan had issues with samba and cha cha. Charlie and Meryl had issues. This isn’t really a new thing with ice skaters not completely grasping that type of technique. My issue is that he always automatically blames Britt and talks about her “needing help.” Not once has he considered that this is just how Johnny moves? This whole thing just comes off so condescending.
It’s annoying at this point bcoz it’s condescending
Figure skaters dance differently when it comes to Latin dances. There body’s are conditioned to move differently so you have to adjust the dance to fit it. It’s not Britts fault. It’s a habit that can’t be broken with ice skaters
this! very accurate.. it does come across condescending.
I don't believe Maks is picking on Britt because she is a black woman!! I think he would have felt the same way regardless of her skin color!
Exactly, hes been hard on Kaitlyn, just the same lol. Also I think he would legit laugh in anyone's face who suggested that, hes had plenty of black women as partners, who he all spoke so highly of.
@Terrie Josia First of all, his wife is legit Best friends with Keo, and he never once said anything bad about Keo. If anything hes been harder on Alan than he has on Keo. And wasnt Vernon like his favorite contestant until he got eliminated? I really think people are reaching
@Terrie Josia Okay so because he’s picky about certain dance teachers and they happen to be Black, he’s a racist? What? Does he ever say anything about harsh about Brandon?
And he’s not just hard on Britt or Keo, he has said things about other dancers as well (who are not Black). Don’t make it something it isn’t.
I don’t believe Maks is racist. I do think he has some implicit bias issues. Which I really hate to say.
@Terrie Josia thank you...he is bias to those in his clique and guess what Alan, Keo, Britt and Brandon isnt apart of his clique so yes he is bias. Thank you for pointing this out
I personally think it was beautiful. Again, I reiterate, I am no pro dancer, but it did look lovely. I think Johnny always does a good to great job, and was devastated to see him go. Nelly should have gone, as well as the blonde, and NOT johnny or Skai! Have a beautiful day, Maks.
I think the blonde has a name.
Its Kaitlyn. You can be upset your favorite went home but no need to disrespect others
@@donovanbarnett9499 Haha, who made you God!? I have a right to my opinion, and was being kind.

I didn’t like the ending. That arm change was uncomfortable...
johnny and brit were amazing and should have been 2nd place
IN MY OPINION,SUCH AS EXCELLENT ARTIST SHOULD NOT BE COMMENTED ON AT ALL BECAUSE HE IS SIMPLY THE BEST IN HIS WORK AND THAT IS FIGURE SKATING AND WITHOUT ANY PERVOUS EXPERIENCES OF THE FORMER , HE MANAGED TO DANCE ALL 13 DANCES ALL THE GIVEN DANCES SAFELY AND EXCELLENTLY. LISTEN ONLY JOHNNY WEIR. SORRY Dance&Co ,SPEAK ONLY WITH J.WEIR. HAVE A NICE DAY! RUBY. 2.01.2020.
You don't critique other pros the way you do with Britt. It's always on the celebrity not comprehending technique with other pros then all of a sudden with Britt it has to do with her? you are bias & it shows dude
idc idc idc
Well, maybe he doesn't need to with the other pros. Have you thought, maybe it does have something to do with Britt's teaching skills.
JoAnna Scheall there are other pros who don’t make it has far as her on their first year and many pros who never do... I don’t hear him calling out their resume... and the FACT of the matter is maks in their rehearsal? Are you? No we are not so we can’t assume her teaching skill are not good. Keep majoring in assumption like mask. You’re literally assuming his failure has to do with her teaching. And that’s very well likely not be true.
It’s all based on assumption and profoundly stating this in this channel as if it’s a fact is detrimental to her career.. very
That is clear Britt learned balroom in the troup she didn't grew with classes and the fact is that she struggled to do choreographies at the start and to teach balroom in general. She is a dancer so she didn't have difficulties to learn balroom dances but teaching it is different and that is clear that she struggled and I really think thet she didn't take enough time on the fundamentals every week.
Johnny had and has potential which didn't has been completely used, I think thet he would have been and done better with another dancer.
I was seeing him as another Adam and that is not what we've seen ans it was almost the same situation, 2nd season of Jenna after 1 season of 2 weeks and what they give is totally different, another level in only 4 weeks of the season 26.
Maybe Britt will learn and will be better, I hope it, cause I like her and I was so happy for her to be a pro but this is clearly that has not been the best this season
This is a false statement. She has trained in ballroom outside of the troupe. Please don’t spread false and misleading information that you clearly don’t know about it.
@@dreeee00 she said it herself she learned with the Troup and not with classes as a kid
@@loladevasconcelos330 yes she started ballroom when she was in the troupe. The misleading part was that “she didn’t grow with classes outside of the troupe” that part is false. She was definitely learning outside of the troupe.
@@dreeee00 when I say grew it mean as a child so no
She was trained by Mark Ballas Mother outside of Dancing with the stars so you are spreading false info. She has a friend who teaches ballroom/latin that she competed with. Learn what she did before saying outside of troupe she didn't learn
As a black female am tired him coming for Britts ability of ballroom/Latin like Carrie Ann was their judge who was with them. Like really come on.
Hi Ashley! Thank you for your comment. We love Britt as a dancer, person, and DWTS pro! She’s super talented and has extensive dance experience! We’ve known her for quite some time, & it’s true that she focused mainly on other styles growing up, and ballroom was the latest addition to her repertoire. Just like Maks focused on ballroom instead of ballet, hip hop, or contemporary. This show is primarily a Ballroom and “partner dance” centric show. If this was a “solo style” type of show Maks, and many other “ballroom/partner” style dancers would receive the same constructive criticism. It’s ok to be exceptional at something, and be not as incredible at something else. We do however ask you politely to not assume things based on gender, race, or other disqualifying factors. We look only at the dancing, and sometimes the ones with most potential get the most critique. We are all about spreading joys of dance to everyone equally so let’s keep the comments section objective & constructive. Thank you ❤️
I am a black woman as well but I happen to dance latin ballroom and Maks is correct on this one. Most of the time, he does not even address her mistakes. She does A LOT of mistakes (placement, posture) that anyone who is not trained enough in this style would do. Anyone with proper ballroom technique can tell that she (or Allison, or Hayley or anyone who is not trained in ballroom) is not an expert on the style. If you don't know all the subtleties to a dance form, it is normal that it impacts your journey on the show and your journey as a teacher. To be clear, some of the mistakes Johnny makes are the direct result of Britt's inexperience. Sometimes they do the same mistakes. Ballroom can't be learned that quickly.
I'm black, I dont see what that has to do with Britt not being trained in ballroom.? I truly dont. I actually think that's far from the reason. Maks is kinda a purist. Britt being a mostly jazz and contemporary dancer it MAKES SENSE it's not Maks favorite. I guarentee if Allison Holler was on this show Maks would be saying thee SAME thing. It genuinely gas NOTHING to do with that.
come for Britt one more time an we are going to have a problem. PERIOD
Nice snap back comment. lol sounds like someone who could also grow up ...
Wow the way you just talked about Britt... you should be more respectful. That was mean Maks. No need for this.
He was respectful lol
I hope Britt hasnt been watching your videos cause she doesnt really need to hear any of this shit.
