Val Chmerkovskiy has paid a special tribute to Alix Earle, saying she has fallen in love with dancing.
The professional dancer, 39, and the TikToker, 24, are paired up on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars, which will premiere on September 16.
Combined, the pair share 7.9 million followers on TikTok and 5.7 million on Instagram – and with Val’s proven track records of making it to the finals, they are bound to be successful.
Just yesterday, the Ukrainian-American pro dancer shared a clip of him and Alix during rehearsals, and expressed how proud he is of her for enjoying her journey so far.
In the video, the pair can be seen showing off some dance moves and even though the show hasn’t even begun yet, Alix is already working hard.
He added, “Thank you @Dancing with the Stars #DWTS for trusting me with such important cargo. I will do my best. Everyday.
“I’m motivated by alix, by dance, and by the opportunity to share it with so many of you. I hope you enjoy our little journey. @Alix Earle thanks.”
In the comment section, Alix described Val as “the best teacher ever,” and many fans said they are sure they will be successful on the dancing competition.
One said, “HOW IS SHE ALREADY PICKING IT UP THIS FAST.” Another added, “Okay why did I get the goose bumps when she did that spin around. She looks SO GOOD ALREADY.”
“I think people are underestimating her and I can’t wait for you guys to prove them wrong,” a third wrote.
A fan commented, “Omg she’s already doing so well! That’s the beauty of leaning into an experience with gratitude, you guys will do so well this season.”
One more added, “I wanted Val to have Alix because he pushes his partners to perfection by correcting the little things and it always pays off I knew Alix would thrive with him, Val is strict but fun, so excited to see his choreography.”
Dancing With the Stars Season 34 premieres Tuesday, Sept. 16 on ABC and Disney+.
