Kenny Wormald twirls Julianne Hough into a lift as they perform on Dancing With The Stars on Tuesday night (October 11) in Los Angeles.

This marks the first time the 23-year-old former pro has stepped on the dance floor at her old stomping ground.

“I definitely got a little emotional. I don’t think I’ve ever been this nervous to do the show,” Julianne said. “I’m a little rusty,” Julianne told People.

She and Kenny performed two dances to songs from the Footloose soundtrack, plus she also teamed back up with bro Derek for a high-stepping Jive.

After the program, Julianne and Kenny headed out to LAX airport to catch a red eye flight to NYC.
