AI GeneratedThe interviewee expresses excitement about joining the new season of Dancing with the Stars. The conversation covers the challenge of competing against her own mother, the technical difficulties of transitioning to ballroom dance, the importance of streaming accessibility for her young fanbase, and the support she expects from her partner and sister.
You gotta be like super excited, I mean the rumors were out there for a while, now we
can confirm, it must be like for like a release that like yes, I am now on Dancing with the
Stars, what feelings do you have, what emotions?
I mean it was very hard to keep this a secret, and even yesterday when it was announced,
I still had to keep him a secret, so it feels good now that everyone gets to know about
it and I'm just super excited for this season.
Now you have a challenge like no other, it's a family competition as well, like how are
we going into that, you know a lot of times you lean on your mom when you're going through
some things and you can't, like she's like not the enemy but you know, the competition.
I think we keep going back and forth whether we're going to like compete and smack talk
or like, I'm here for you, you're here for me, let's just get through this, whatever
happens happens, so I don't know yet.
We want to see the smack talk, I'm telling you right now, I want to see it, I want to
see a little family friendly competition.
Now you come into this with a lot of dance experience, so I think you're a lot of people's
competition, for you what do you think will be your biggest challenge coming in?
I think my biggest challenge will be, I guess trying to unlearn what I know because ballroom
is so different than what I've trained in, but that's also the excitement.
Do you think that we'll see you bring a little tiktok flavor into your dance routine, because
that'd be fun.
Yeah, maybe, I think that's really up to this one.
Sure maybe, you know if it feels right for the dance and natural and the vibe, then why not?
And I think what's really fun too is you have such a huge social media presence, how do
you think you'll engage the younger audience to watch Dancing with the Stars and watch
what you do on streaming?
I think for people my age and younger, these streaming platforms like Disney Plus are so
important because that's all we use.
So the fact that this is going to be live on Disney Plus I think will be a little bit
easier for my fans to watch it, because I know that that's how they watch our show and
I know that they were able to watch it there, so that actually makes me feel really good
and I'm excited because that's how I would watch it as well.
Yeah, and like when it comes to voting, what's the family going to do?
Like Dixie, we talked to Dixie at the VMAs, poor thing, she was like-
I can't say anything, I don't want to get in trouble!
She was so scared, I texted her, I was like, no way, be more- she's such a bad liar, it's
so funny, but yeah, I mean she will have to go back, we live together so she has to deal
with me when she gets home if she doesn't vote for me, so I don't know, we're going
to have to see.
I mean, is she going to have like, yeah, a Team Charlie shirt on, or like a Team Heidi
shirt, I don't know, split down the middle, I've seen people do that in sports, maybe
she'll bring that into the audience.
Yeah, or maybe she's going to be honest, whoever's doing better, she's going to go with them.
Wait, for a second I thought you said maybe she's going to be on it, and I was like, plot
twist!
Oh my gosh, we had no idea!
A lot of this show is also about, you know, the support that you get from your fellow,
the fellow competition, your partner, family, friends, are we going to see Landon in the
audience supporting you?
I mean, I hope so, he's obviously a very big part of my life, so he's excited for me, I've
been showing him the little clips from class, so yeah.
Is he like inspired to dance too, does he want to practice with you?
I'm definitely going to try to get him to take a class with me, we'll see if he does
it.
He's not a good dancer.
I'm reading between the lines.
He says he's nervous.
Well listen, congratulations to you, it's got to be really fun, and I know so many of
your fans are going to be excited to watch you and root for you.
Thank you!
Now remember, I want to see the smack talk with mom, I'll tell her the same thing.
She's still my mom, I can't be mean to her.
No, it's just like friendly jabs.
Friendly jabs.
We'll see.
Thank you for watching.
