Chelsea Kane: 'I Did So Much Research!'

Chelsea Kane earns her stripes as she heads back to her car after a full day of dance practice in Los Angeles on Thursday (March 17).

The 21-year-old actress told JJJ that she did a ton of research for her upcoming dancing days. “I did a lot of research once I learned that Mark [Ballas] was my partner.”

Chelsea continued, “I went back and watched all of his performances, especially with Shawn Johnson and Kristi Yamaguchi. I can’t decide if that makes it better or worse now, though. They were so good and had so much rehearsal time. He’s just had such great dance partners. Sabrina Bryan was so amazing!”

“I don’t look at the dances and say ‘Oh, that’s how that’s supposed to look.’ I say, ‘Oh my gosh, what am I doing? What did I get myself into.’ I’m so intimidated.”

FYI: Chelsea is wearing the “Michaela” shrug and the “Amber” tank both by Market and a Jules Smith Good Luck Jelly Bracelet Set.
