David keeps on dancing

David keeps on dancing

He may be finished on Dancing With The Stars, but David Graham is now certain of a few things in life.

One is that he needs a break and is about to embark on a holiday to South America.

The other is that he wants to keep dancing and, when he returns from his South American sojourn, he will be looking for a new dance partner to do same-sex dancing with him.

One hundred percent, I think my next dance partner will be a male, Graham says, the day after his elimination from Dancing With The Stars. I just need to find a dance partner out there who will be willing to take me on and go into dance competitions.

I will definitely continue classes and compete -“ dancing is such a beautiful art form and to use your body as an expression is just tremendous.

While Graham admits he is tired from the months of dance training and competing, he calls Dancing With The Stars the best experience of my life, without question. He also adds that reports that he felt he was being victimised on the TV show were taken out of context.

Despite what a Sydney newspaper said, I am not a victim -“ I said as a joke they were victimising me, but that was in jest. I am not a victim at all, and I am far from that.

And the judges did not pick on me, they just identified I was a very, very talentless dancer.

Apart from learning to dance, Graham says he is glad his weekly appearance on DWTS has brought some focus onto the plight of farmers battling the drought. His appointed charity is Bush Connection through Ozcare.

This gave me a chance every week to talk about the real effect the drought is having on this country, he says. My farm is now a dustbowl, and I have had to de-stock and I have not had crops for two years.

So I have no income from the farm, and I was lucky to go on Dancing With The Stars, as that has given me a bit of a reprieve, but also highlighted what is really happening to people on the land.
