Val Chmerkovskiy Will Be a 'Better Teacher' with DWTS Partner Victoria Arlen

We only have three days left until Dancing With The Stars season 25 premieres!

One couple that we’re definitely looking forward to watching is Victoria Arlen and Val Chmerkovskiy.

“She has such an incredible story and I can’t wait to continue to write her story and contribute to an incredible life already,” Val told E! News recently.

“Hopefully she’ll make lifelong memories on the show and I’ll help her learn how to dance.”

Victoria‘s situation is unique, in that she can’t actually feel her legs following only learning how to walk fairly recently after being in a coma for four years.

“It’s definitely challenging,” she says. “It’s a little easier to learn to walk than ballroom dancing.”

Val adds that he’ll be pushing himself this season: “I have to be a better teacher, a smarter choreographer, her and I have to really have to work together so I could get an idea of how to translate my methods into this unique situation. She can’t feel her legs or her feet and dance has a little bit of both those things.”
