ABCThere may be feathers, but this ain't no Big Bird costume!
When Bindi Irwin hits the Dancing With the Stars stage tonight for season 21's Switch-Up with new pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy, she'll be dancing the cha cha to "Hold My Hand." And her fun, flirty feathered dress is right on the money for the upbeat dance.
E! News has the exclusive first look at the 17-year-old fan favorite's outfit for the performance, which will be a gorgeous, bejeweled corset with an adorable yellow ostrich-feathered skirt.
The performance is going to be a change of pace in many ways for Bindi compared to last week. Not only is she separated from her trusty partner Derek Hough for the week, but her dance with Val will be considerably lighter in tone than the tearjerker tribute to her late father Steve Irwin she broke our hearts with last week. And no, we're not crying again just thinking about it, you are!
And while we all can't wait to see #TeamCrikey reunited next week, video of Bindi's first rehearsal with Val, exclusive to E! News, revealed that this temporary team-up will be just as much of a delight. Impressed by his new partner, Val even tells Bindi, "You should consider this as a career choice!"
You took the words right out of our mouths, Val!
Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
