On this week’s episode of You Be Trippin’, Steph Tolev takes Ari dancing through Scotland. She shares memories of her childhood Highland Dancing competitions—much to the frustration of her dedicated Dance Mom. Ari is blown away by Steph’s wild story of saving a woman’s life, thanks to her severe constipation. Back in the studio, the two rearrange the furniture so Steph can teach Ari a few dance moves. They also bond over their shared disdain for theater actors and porta-potty hookups. Tìoraidh an-dràsta!
