Originally appeared on E! Online<\/a><\/p>\n Danielle Fishel<\/a> <\/strong>is going to do her own thing on Dancing With the Stars<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n That’s why the Boy Meets World <\/em>alum didn’t quite follow the advice she got from two-time DWTS<\/em> competitor Sabrina Bryan<\/a> <\/strong>during the season 34 premiere<\/a> on Sept. 16.<\/p>\n “Her best piece of advice to me that I didn’t follow,” Danielle exclusively told E! News<\/em>‘ Will Marfuggi<\/a> <\/strong>following the show, “was to not watch the packages.”<\/p>\n Explaining that the video packages, which air before dance routines, can sometimes “make you emotional,” the 44-year-old said that Sabrina told her to avoid watching them prior to going on stage to keep focus on the performance.<\/p>\n “She said, ‘Don’t pay attention to the package. Just lock in with your partner,'” Danielle shared. “But I was like, ‘I wonder what’s in my package?'” (For more interviews from the DWTS <\/em>cast, tune into <\/a>E!

Online<\/strong><\/p>\n Though curiosity got the best of Danielle, she and pro partner Pasha Pashkov<\/strong> managed to walk away with a score of 12\/20 for their tango to Kelly Clarkson<\/strong><\/a>‘s “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You).” In fact, the actress found that watching the video package “didn’t distract” her at all because her mind was on her routine from the get-go.<\/p>\n “That’s the number one thing on my mind,” she said. “I am improving every week. I know where I started three weeks ago and I definitely improved in those three weeks.”<\/p>\n Danielle added, “With Pasha’s guidance, I’m only going to continue to grow and I’m looking forward to that journey.”<\/p>\n
