00:00She's been a great dancer on the show for a long time.
00:03Everybody loves her, and I'm excited to work with her.
00:06Sure. Whitney, this is your first season back.
00:08After a few seasons away, what made you want to come back for this season in particular?
00:12I did a little cameo last season after I had my son,
00:15and it just gave me kind of the fire to come back again.
00:19And I'm hungrier than ever to do the best that I possibly can,
00:23and now I have Danny as a partner.
00:25I haven't had an NFL player for a long time, so I'm really excited about that.
00:29Listen, I hear the athletes tend to do pretty well on this show.
00:33How do you think your skills are going to carry over?
00:35I think my footwork's like I have an edge in that regard,
00:38but I need to really learn the posture, learn the technique,
00:42and for that I'll be listening to her.
00:44For sure.
00:45Is there a song or an artist that you're looking forward to,
00:48hopefully dancing to this season?
00:50Ooh, I mean.
00:52You love Shibuzi.
00:54Shibuzi's my guy.
00:55Yeah, Shibuzi's my guy.
00:57I think we're going to lead off with Shibuzi and let it rip.
01:01How would you describe your dancing skills on a scale from 1 to 10?
01:04Trash.
01:05Yeah, trash.
01:06Okay, Whitney, yeah, you tell us.
01:08You tell us the real thing.
01:09Well, he's only showed me the small little portion of what you can do.
01:13The jerk, which I give, like, I would say like a 4.
01:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:18Is she being humble?
01:19No, she's killing me.
01:20She's a coach, so she's getting me right.
01:22I'm just easing him into it.
01:24I'm trying not to make him quit yet, you know, like kind of get his contract in place first.
01:29Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:30No.
01:31Finally, if there was a theme night, like if you could be in charge of picking one of the big theme nights this season,
01:36what would you have the theme be?
01:38What would you say?
01:39I mean, what was your favorite theme?
01:41Um, I love Disney night, but I'm like a Disney girl.
01:45I love Disney.
01:46I also love when they do, like, Oscar night because it's a really, like, usually powerful ballads
01:52and something that everybody loves and it's all very different.
01:56So I think that I would love to see that theme night this season.
01:59Same.
01:59I mean, I'm a throwback, too.
02:00I like 80s.
02:01I like, yeah, let's.
02:0380s night?
02:0480s night.
02:0590s night was fun.
02:06We did 90s night, too.
02:08That was really fun.
02:09Yeah.
02:11That was really fun.
