Laurie Hernandez Says Dancing With The Stars Is A Whole New Ball Game

Be sure to pick up the latest issue of “In Touch Weekly” Magazine if interested. Laurie Hernandez is one of their feature stories. Here is a take from what’s inside….

“The mirror-ball is right up there with a gold medal,” insists the 5-foot New Jersey native, dubbed “The Human Emoji” thanks to her big eyes and super-expressive face.

“I used to leave practice and go home and watch this show, so being here is a dream come true,” she says. “One of my motivations to go to the Olympics was, OK, maybe I can do DWTS afterward!”

Laurie adds that practicing for DWTS is a totally different ball game then preparing for the Olympics.

“Another thing is that with dancing I have a partner and I have to stay mindful that he’s a part of me, and that we’re doing this together.”
