Jimmy Kimmel Gives Zendaya Dancing Advise For Dancing With The Stars (New Interview)
Did you know Zendaya’s Mom is 6’4″ tall? Zendaya talks about this and more on Jimmy Kimmell last night! He’s betting she’s going to win Dancing With The Stars! He also gives her his dancing advise. LOL. Have I said how much I love her HAIR? I love her dress too. π
Zendaya did a good job with this interview, especially when Jimmy started talking about her dog. I think that was a bit unprofessional and even the audience seemed a little shocked. But Zedndaya was a pro!
Jimmy was a jerk and I don’t consider myself very sensitive on jerkiness. Zendaya did well.
She held her own against Jimmy… good on her. Lots of poise, that one
Love her! Such a great young lady.
She’s adorable and is catching my attention week by week with her great talented, plus how Val is enjoying the journey with a partner that can keep up any hard step he creates. They are definitely the couple to beat! And I’d be very happy seeing Val taking the MBT, even being rooting for Mark and Derek. Also is a delight to see Andy Dick’s journey! I hope he can go as far as possible!
She’s adorable!!
We fans of Zendaya, The Disney Channel, and “Shake It Up!” know she’s a lot more than some cute kid. She’s a very talented prodigy who can perform a lot of seriously impossible Michael Jackson looking dance moves. DWTS screwed up BIG TIME when they let her become a contestant.
And it’s great that Jimmy treats his younger guests as equals and not dumb kids. Zendaya is no dumb kid and is much more mature than those of you who are childishly trashing Jimmy Kimmel.
@ just me
What are u even talking about?
Please dont speak for all Zendaya fans because you make the rest of us look bad.
Yeah, you must be one of those oh so intelligent and mature Zendaya fans that are so threatened by Kellie that you spam @DancingABC pictures of her and Derek on instagram with cries of “Team Valdaya!!”. That’s not childish at all. Or insecure. It’s also not very smart to run in here and loudly proclaim for the world that Zendaya is a huge ringer – meaning she has all the advantages. Of course, we already knew that, but thanks for the confirmation.
Not GIT yer ass off my blog until you can behave in a way that better represents Zendaya.
THIS!!!!!^^^
OMG, Heidi!-Hilarious.. GIT, like Kellie would say it-LOL Girl, that one caught me off guard!!
I really liked her dress in this interview! I can’t wait to see her “prom dress” next week that is a copy of her grandmother’s prom dress. I think she’s had two of the nicest costumes I’ve seen so far this season.
# blonde
I agree 100%
I love *everything* I’ve seen Zendaya wear so far this season!
I especially loved her flapper dress.
She really has the potential to be a Mega Superstar π
Cute interview. Now I get her comment about school. Didn’t think about the under 18 restrictions on how much time they can be on set….
This girl is a gem. Not what I was expecting of a 16 year old Disney mega star. Her parents have done a good job. she is articulate poised and very well-behaved. I like this dress too though I kinda hate the bow. her two costumes for dwts were all designed by Val so kudos to him for that. I love what Val is doing with Zendaya. He really is making her look great.
I too think Val is working really well with Zendaya. After last season with Kellie, which for me was a little too over the top with playing the “I’m sexy and I know it card” for my taste, it’s really nice to see Val more as a teacher and mentor.
Dee, I was cracking up at Heidi too!! So funny!!!!
The “Git” just looked like an ordinary directive to me. That’s how we talk down here. π Must be addictive. Val is using y’all in his tweets. Kellie’s gonna have everyone talking Southern before this is over. Plus she has Wynonna as back-up.
Love love love Zendaya its hard not to fall in love with her
Zendaya is a remarkable young woman and Val has done a great job showcasing her talent and maturity in a very appropriate way. Their tribute to her grandmother is the dance I’m most looking forward to on what I expect to be a horribly cheesetastic theme night.
I agree with all your points, Cidra. And for all her easy humor and ability to poke fun at herself, Zendaya seems quite serious about setting high standards for herself and making careful, tasteful decisions about things that matter to her.
So I also expect that her tribute dance will be genuinely moving instead of cheesy, and it will be inspired by Zendaya’s spirit, and implemented by Val’s choreo skills and his apparent desire to “live up to” his partner and the opportunities Z gives him. But like you, Cids, I expect plenty of cheese from other celebs.
Grr. I still want to know what they will be dancing on monday! They won’t say anything on Twitter lol
If its a V. Waltz would be fun to see who is better: Zendaya or Aly. And if it is a Quickstep which I also think it could be, I wanna see how she copes with it cause I remember her saying that is the dance she fears most.
If it comes to a VWaltz smackdown between Zendaya and Aly, Zendaya wins, hands down, in my opinion. She has a lot more natural grace and emotional expression than Aly (at least at this point in the season).
Poor Lisa wouldn’t even count in this VWaltz smackdown…
But like you said if that is the case Zendaya might be slightly better than Aly. I think the emotion, like you mentioned, is something Val and Zendaya will really emphasize this week considering the fact that it is in honor to Z’s grandmother. So I think that alone might give them an edge imo.
If Lisa could get over being self-conscious when she’s on the dance floor, she could give the teenagers a run for their money in the VWaltz. She has the advantage of being a mature woman who’s lived life and could invest the dance with real emotion. Unfortunately for her and Gleb, I don’t see a breakthrough like that happening.
I agree with you, Cidra, Lisa’s self-consiousness is getting in her way. I remember Sharna saying in an interview that Lisa’s dress rehearsal (first dance) was so damn good. But I also questioned if Gleb was the best partner for her – that “big rambunctious puppy dog” might not be a good fit for for her more refined and mature afghan hound (?). Yet I can’t think of another pro who would be better suited and have done a complete 180 – Gleb is the perfect partner for Lisa! Another pro might have been inclined to give in to Lisa’s inhibitions a little, to make her more comfortable with the process in these first few weeks. But not Gleb, he just charges ahead – oblivious to any sexual nervousness – this is how we do it, let me show you again, you get used to it. These 2 are so adorable together – they have certainly caught my fancy. And I find myself more interested in their journey, in seeing them continue, than I am a bunch of other teams at this point (come on Lisa, you can do it!). More interested even than in Victor & Lindsey and Aly & Mark – while both of these celebs are arguably better dancers, there’s no spark. While I’m still rooting for Andy and Wynonna; excited to see what Zendaya and Kellie bring each week; and look forward to seeing how Jacoby and Ingo develop, I have a soft spot for Lisa & Gleb and hope we lose a few others before bidding them farewell. I don’t see a break through for them next week either (but hey, you never can tell – hope springs eternal π They’re not contenders, certainly, but maybe they’ll be around long enough for that breakthrough dance and they can go out on a high note.
