Val Chmerkovskiy stops to chat with a few fans before heading inside the dance studio in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon (April 7).

The 29-year-old pro dancer met up with Rumer Willis to get started on their next dance for Dancing With The Stars.

“I feel like I’ve gotten to a point in the past year and it’s why I wanted to share it,” Rumer told ABC News about her latest performance on the show which reflected a memorable year.

She added, “I think it’s a really important message. Social media is such a breeding ground, unfortunately, for negativity and I wish if I can have any impact of making that more of a place of positivity and support for people than that would be my biggest wish.”
