Bindi Irwin, 17, looks confident at DWTS rehearsal... but admits doing the show is 'more terrifying than jumping on top of a crocodile'
She's been gearing up for the forthcoming season of Dancing With The Stars.
And
while Bindi Irwin looked confident at her rehearsal on Thursday, the
17-year-old Australian TV personality recently admitted she is full of
nerves about doing the show.
'This
is going to be more terrifying than jumping on top of a crocodile,' the
daughter of the late Steve Irwin (The Crocodile Hunter) told People.

Mixed emotions: Bindi Irwin appeared
to be in high spirits as she arrived at the Dancing With The Stars
rehearsal in Los Angeles, California on Thursday - as she revealed she's
'terrified' about it
'Crocodiles,
they are very special because they are modern-day dinosaurs. But I've
kind of worked with them my whole life, whereas I've never danced before
in my life.'
Still, Bindi is extremely excited for her opportunity to be on the 21st season of ABC's dancing competition series.
'I'm used to jumping on top of crocodiles and holding them down to put trackers on them,' the TV personality told People.
'Now,
I'm about to be on a dance floor in the middle of a concrete jungle
trying my luck and doing the best I possibly can. I'm excited.'

Meanwhile,
Bindi was spotted wearing a khaki blouse, skinny jeans, and matching
sneakers as she attended DWTS rehearsal in Los Angeles on Thursday.
She was seen waving at onlookers while carrying orange heels in her hand.
The Australian-born wildlife ambassador recently explained why she's been adamant about sticking to her khaki wardrobe.
'We always say khaki is an attitude,' she previously told Good Morning America. 'You can't climb trees that well in a dress!'

The
teen, who turned 17 last month, has other big developments in her life
as she publicly revealed she is dating 'someone special,' 18-year-old
wakeboarder Chandler Powell.
Bindi's
father Steve was killed at age 44 by an eight-foot stingray in 2006
while filming an Ocean's Deadliest documentary in north Queensland.
Bindi
has since continued her father's conservation work at Australia Zoo in
Queensland, where both she and younger brother Robert have dedicated
their lives to being 'Wildlife Warriors.'
She has also co-created a book series, Bindi Wildlife Adventures, and has starred in two films and various television shows.
