A recent behind-the-scenes video from Dancing With the Stars has captured a heartwarming moment between Robert Irwin and his young niece, Grace, highlighting the Irwin family’s enthusiasm for the competition.
The clip opens with Robert celebrating his advancement to the DWTS grand finale. He shares that his family was “screaming with excitement” backstage as he received the news.
The moment takes a cute turn when Robert talks about his 4-year-old niece, Grace, who approached him and said: “I love your Viennese Waltz, your footwork is amazing.” Robert was visibly shocked that such a young child could pronounce “Viennese Waltz” and give such a professional-sounding critique. He even jokingly asked his sister, Bindi Irwin, if she had coached Grace to say it.
Bindi confirmed that Grace has been following the show closely, and when Robert asked the little girl which professional dancer she would like to be paired with in the future, Grace confidently answered, “Val.”
Robert responded with humor and affection, joking that he will still be on DWTS to watch Grace dance in the future — even if he needs to use a walker by then.
This short, adorable video showcases the Irwin family’s support for Robert on DWTS and reveals Grace’s surprising enthusiasm and knowledge of competitive dancing.
