ward Lemmelijn: triumph Through Emotion

Ward Lemmelijn, known for his infectious smile, captured the hearts of the jury and audience alike. His empathy and dance progression earned him the highest score of the evening: 27 points.
That feels very nice,
Ward said, beaming after the show. He revealed the emotional depth behind his performance: Especially since it was a very emotional dance for me. I thought what I said on television: ten minutes before we were up, I was just separating myself to listen to sad music. I also recalled some painful memories.A few years ago my relationship with a girl I had been with for a long try to process in the dance.
He continued, Only I went to it in such a way that, despite the good points, I stayed a bit in the pit. My dance partner Yulia had to help me on top for a while.
Yulia praised Ward’s ability to handle challenges, stating, The bar is always high. Also for this dance we have not chosen the easiest way.I have changed the choreography a few times in recent days. To challenge it, and because I know he can handle that.
Ward embraced the challenge, explaining, Even as a rower I prefer a trainer to say what it stands on, and not too many wipes winds around things. I want to be pushed, I want to be pulled out of my comfort zone. And if you feel that it is rewarded by jury and the audience tonight, it will do a lot of virtue.
When asked about the possibility of dancing shirtless again, Ward joked, I really have to be careful what I ask those people from Styling. They go a little too quickly in my ideas. I asked them yesterday if they might provide an elephant string for me. Not long after they were looking up.
