Laurie Hernandez Writes On DWTS Week 1, Her Dance, And More

Laurie Hernandez has written her first Dancing With The Stars blog at US Weekly. She writes of how busy her schedule has been since starting rehearsals with Val Chmerkovskiy. She explains how much she has always loved to dance. She also gives us a tiny sneak peek into what her Cha Cha will be like tonight.

My schedule has gotten really hectic ever since I started dancing. I haven’t begun my school year yet because I’m home schooled, but for instance, yesterday I had a morning dance rehearsal with Val, then I ate lunch, then I had an afternoon workout to rehearse for the Kellogg’s tour, and then I had a small break where I got to relax for about 10 minutes, and then I had to do an interview, and then I had a workout until about 10 p.m. And then it starts all over again today! It’s crazy. Some of my friends are like, “I never hear from you anymore!” and I’m like, “Guys, I don’t have time to be on my phone anymore!”

So Monday will be my first time dancing on live TV, and we’re dancing the Cha-Cha! I think we already have it all down. I’m so excited! I can’t say too much about it but I can tell you I’m wearing silver so that will be really cool! Dancing is different than gymnastics, but it’s a good different and it’s something that I’ve always wanted to try. I’m not too nervous, I’m more excited to just show everyone my personality out on the dance floor. All the support we have gotten from everyone is just awesome! We are excited that they like what they see — and we haven’t even started dancing yet! Wish us luck!
