Every week, professional dancer Witney Carson will be writing a blog for JustJaredJr.com and sharing exclusive behind-the-scenes photos ahead of the Monday night episode of Dancing With the Stars.
For week one, Witney opens up about her new partnership with Denver Broncos football player Von Miller, their Foxtrot and making sure her partner is cool and calm for the premiere show.
“I’m really, really excited. I feel like the premiere, especially, gives me the most butterflies. Everyone is just so pumped to see what the celebrities are going to do because it’s their first dance. Everyone is just anticipating what they’re going to do. This is most excited that I’ll probably be…except for the finale. It’s really exciting though. We’ve been working really hard for these past two weeks and we’re going to give it our all and Von is pumped and excited as well. It should be a really fun premiere.
“I was really excited to be partnered with him. At first, I did not know him by name when the producers told me which celebrity I had. I had to do some researching, which was embarrassing (laughs). I’m excited though because I’ve never had an athlete before as a partner. They tend to do really well on the show and my expectations are high. Von is such a super fun, easy going, loving guy and he works really hard.”

Witney Carson arrives at the dance studio to work on her performance with partner Von Miller on Thursday afternoon (March 17) in Los Angeles.
The 23-year-old pro dancer has reportedly put a “late fine tax” on Von, 26.
In a podcast with ESPN’s “His & Hers”, Von explained that he’d been fined for farting during team meetings with the Denver Broncos and now Witney has one on him as well — for being late! She’s charging $100 for each minute that he’s late for practice.
“He’s picking up things so quick. He’s great on choreography. He’s an amazing student,” Witney recently told ET of Von. “I love that because I get to boss a big football player around.”
