James Maslow on DWTS Partner Peta Murgatroyd: 'She's Really Cool!'

James Maslow says hi to the waiting fans outside the dance studio while Peta Murgatroyd steals a hug from Mark Ballas on Saturday afternoon (March 15) in Los Angeles.

The 23-year-old actor recently spoke with Parade about his and Peta‘s partnership so far.

“She’s really cool! She’s laid back when we’re not working and she’s pretty strict and detail-oriented when we are,” he shared.

James continued, “Even when it gets frustrating at times, it’s good because we look better and I’m sure the stricter she is now, the better we’ll be in the end. She also knows when to not take it too seriously, we laugh and have a lot of fun.”
