Ariana Greenblatt Reveals How Much Dance Practice She Actually Went Through For 'DWTS Juniors' In Her Week #2 Blog (Exclusive)

Going into the second week, I felt much better and excited about going on stage and doing it all over again! When I heard we were going to dance the jive to Avril Lavigne’s “Girlfriend”, I was super excited and pumped to just rock out!

We really do have the craziest time together especially when we’re practicing back flips 1000 times in rehearsal to make them perfect for all you Dancing with the Stars Juniors fans! We can put in as much as 26 hours of rehearsals in a week to learn new song and dance routines so taking care of your body is really important. I was feeling sore from using all these muscles I didn’t know I had but Brandon kept it super fun and Arty super silly.

Some of the best times on show days are when we get friends and family to come out and support us. I was lucky to get a lot of support from my Disney Channel family and my real one as well. It’s awesome hearing them cheer and scream your name at the end of a number. Afterwards we always find a place to meet up and have dinner. It’s a great way to end the week!
