2010 U.S. Olympic Team Media Summit Newsletter, Sept. 11
Louie was featured this month in the U.S. Olympic Team Media Summit Newsletter (that’s a mouthful), and it’s obvious that his upcoming appearance on DWTS is causing quite a stir.
“You can laugh at me all you want,” Vito said. “I just need your vote.”
The Ohio native says it’s a good way to stay in shape and allows him to take his mind off of snowboarding. But halfpipe snowboarding and dancing couldn’t be more different, so trading his board for ballroom shoes has been a bit of a challenge.
“My snowboarding posture doesn’t really work for the ballroom,” he said. “In snowboarding you can take a trick that everybody does and put your own twist and your own flare on it, but [in the ballroom] you have to do it that way. There’s a correct way. It’s a little stricter lifestyle than snowboarding is.”
To see how Louie fares, checkout Louie and Chelsie and watch the season premiere of Dancing with the Stars starting Sept. 21.
