Buttabean ready for Dancing finale


He’s got three left feet and hammertoes, but Dave Buttabean Letele has somehow got to the finals of Dancing With the Stars.
He says he and dance partner Kristie Williams intend to leave it all out there on the dance floor on Sunday.
He describes his dance style as leading by example – that is, showing those in South Auckland that anything is possible.
The former heavyweight boxer has been training up to 18 hours a week, but he says the competition requires more than physical strength.
“This takes a lot of mental strength and you’re doing something, you’re putting yourself out there, you’re opening yourself to be judged on live TV, so it really does take a lot of mental strength and we have been last ever week but we always remember our why and our purpose of being on the show,” he says.
Dave Letele supporters should text Dave to double 3 double 3 to make his dream happen.
