Val Chmerkovskiy: Zendaya Is An Incredible Dancer!

Zendaya is all smiles while leaving the studio for Dancing With The Stars practice on Thursday afternoon (May 2) in Los Angeles.

“Woke up to 2.5 million beautiful ZSWAGGERS, so blessed to have you all,” the 16-year-old Shake It Up actress tweeted that morning.

Zendaya‘s partner Val Chmerkovskiy recently opened up to Wet Paint about working with the actress and the challenges they face on the reality dancing competition show.

“I definitely feel like I have an advantage every season. I have a very positive, optimistic outlook on every partner that I have. Everyone holds certain talents and certain capabilities, and it’s my job to bring the best out of them,” Val shared in the interview.

“So do I have an advantage? Aly Raisman is an Olympic gymnast and Kellie Pickler is a singer with a lot of fans. I think everyone has an advantage on Dancing With the Stars. And I’m not trying to weasel my way out of the fact that Zendaya is an incredible dancer.”
