00:00I just want to say congratulations on this season. This is obviously your first time competing
00:05This is also your first time as a pro. So I want to start the question with you
00:09How excited are you to be a pro this season?
00:12It's been my dream ever since I was a little kid
00:14Unlike Anna, I've watched a show so many times when I was a kid and I never thought that one day to have this chance
00:20So it feels very unreal. But every single day it's like it kind of hits me like it's actually happening
00:26And the and it actually hit me when I met Anna too and she's so I freaking I'm obsessed with Anna
00:32So I'm very excited. She's my first partner
00:35Well, Anna, what made you want to join Dancing with the Stars?
00:38Cuz I know there might be some critics out there that may be you know
00:42Kind of scratching their heads over this choice
00:44I kind of been talked into doing this and I got the permission from ice and then it was like kind of too late to
00:49back out so
00:52Did you just say too late to back out?
00:54You better show up to rehearsal today
00:57An honest queen, okay
00:59So, how would you describe your dance level and your dance skills this season? We're not this season in general
01:06She has dance ability. She said that she was dancing
01:10Since until she was 13 right since you're until 13. Sorry, it's a 12
01:15But then I like kind of didn't believe her
01:17So I had her show me like her first position her plie and then after I saw her brilliant turnout
01:22I was like, oh she does have dance ability
01:25We only had one practice so it's really hard to gauge like how much they can handle but she did it really well
01:29She did really good. Is there any song or
01:33artists that you're looking forward to see or
01:36performing or dancing to this season
01:38No
01:40I'm gonna answer for her too because I feel like I know her really well. Okay, I know that you like Lana
01:45Right
01:48Okay, but it's giving contemplation to Lana del Rey she also really weirdly likes hip-hop
01:54So like our promotion was giving a brat summer until when at one moment
01:59She was like, I think we should listen to hip-hop and she just bust down Tatiana like she
02:05Yeah, maybe a little maybe a little hip-hop in here
02:08So I want to address the elephant in the room. You do have an ankle monitor
02:12Do you think that that will affect your performance at all this season in what way would it affect my performance?
02:18If you have any like lifts or anything like that that you have to do I
02:23Know it's actually pretty light
02:26Sounds like is it heavy? Is it something that would affect your performance or not?
02:30You want to touch it? You can touch it. We're gonna touch the ankle monitor right now
02:36It's giving like one pound I'm gonna do a little
02:39Okay
02:43You don't want to know what happens, uh-oh
02:47Finally, what do you hope to get out of your experience this season on dancing with the stars?
02:58You definitely will get a workout in I just love her so much
03:04I
03:05Said why are you doing the show? I want a little workout. I said, well, I'm doing it for the check girl
03:10So we're gonna pull through we're gonna pull through
03:13We all need a little bit of a workout
03:15But you know what? Why not do it on dancing with the stars, right?
03:18Might as well and you know, I'm excited for I'm excited for America to actually get to see her and to see how how she
03:25Is you know, the media has seen a representation of her that I personally think is not her
03:30So I'm very excited for her to see the real Anna Delvey
