We've known the late Steve Irwin's daughter, Bindi Irwin, would be competing on the upcoming season of "Dancing With The Stars" since last Monday when she was the first cast member officially announced but it wasn't until yesterday that we found out she'd be dancing with none-other-than the five-time champ Derek Hough. The two are basically a dancing match made in heaven, and they've only known each other for a short amount of time, but have already had such amazing things to say about each other.
"Meet my new amazing partner @bindisueirwin," the 30-year-old dancer captioned a photo of the two sitting with a porcupine. "This girls energy and lust for life is incredible. Her passion for wildlife is second to none. She's on a mission to make a difference on our planet and now it's my job to turn this Wildlife Warrior into a dancer. Let's go BINDI!!!!"
Bindi, 17, then posted a photo of them dancing during training and she couldn't help but gush over Hough, too.
"Incredibly excited and blessed to be working with such an inspirational and wonderful partner," she wrote. "I can't wait for the journey to come with @derekhough working together on something so new to me. So far I can't stop laughing in the #DWTS studios and I've learned such a lot already thanks to Derek's patience. I can't wait to see what's yet to come and I'm ready to put my heart and soul into this adventure."
As if these two photos aren't exciting enough, what the two have in store for their first dance together is going to be like nothing we've ever seen on the show before. On Wednesday, Bindi was seen in a pink bedazzled costume rehearsing for the upcoming season while holding a python, Britney Spears style, according to People. The two were seen practicing a routine while at the Wildlife Learning Center in California, sparking rumors that they could possibly be dancing to Spears' "I'm a Slave 4 U."
"We are gonna bust out with a kind of on-the-nose song the first week," Hough told People on Sunday. "I'm in this space right now where I'm super pumped on life right now. I feel connected. I feel great. And then she walks in my life. You don't understand what positive energy she is. I don't know what it is. I love her. She's amazing. She's a breath of fresh air. We all need a little Bindi in our life. Seriously."
