The moment Mackenzie Ziegler was announced as a contestant on Dancing With The Stars Juniors , everyone assumed she’d win because she has that dance experience.
While we don’t know if that’s the case at all – the 14-year-old singer and influencer assured viewers that she didn’t have a leg up in anything.
Talking with Extra earlier this week, Kenzie admitted that the only thing that helped her out was her rhythm.
Kenzie adds that the dances on the show are “completely different” than what she was trained in. “I was a little stressed throughout the whole thing because it was so different from what I’ve ever done.”
“I did get the hang of it though, and it’s actually my favorite dance style now. I love it so much.”
Kenzie ‘s partner Sage Rosen was excited for everyone to watch the show, adding that Kenzie was “the best partner. She was amazing and it was such a fun experience.”
Dancing With The Stars Juniors premieres Sunday, October 7th @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
