Evan Lysacek blogs about 'Twilight' inspiring his 'Dancing with the Stars' routine

Evan Lysacek on 'Dancing with the Stars' - AP PhotoThe Twilight series (or, more generally, vampire-related popular culture) has inspired quite a few things in recent years, from make-up to dance sessions on So You Think You Can Dance.

The latest, it seems, is Dancing With The Stars. Evan Lysacek has a running blog with People Magazine where here talks about his forthcoming appearances on the series, and in the latest, Lysacek revealed that his "Paso Doble" was inspired by Twilight.

This week, Anna and I are performing the foxtrot and the paso doble. Our fox trot is very traditional and classy. We drew inspiration for this dance from Gene Kelly, his old movies and YouTube videos. I really like it a lot.

For our second dance, the paso doble, we varied a bit from tradition. We have a sort of Twilight-inspired storyline where I play a vampire who’s stalking his prey – which is Anna, of course. We had a lot of fun with this one and hope the audience does as well.

Last night, the Paso Doble was revealed, and Lysacek and his partner got a perfect score for the dance.
