Bindi Irwin’s Daughter Grace Spins Into the Spotlight With a Pre-Show Solo on the ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Stage
Grace Warrior is a star! The 4-year-old daughter of Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell took to the stage at Dancing With the Stars in a pre-show solo dance, and it is the cutest thing we’ve ever seen.
“LETS GO @dancingwiththestars !!!!! ????” Bindi wrote on Instagram yesterday, ahead of her brother’s performance with partner Witney Carson in the semifinals. She shared a few pictures and videos, including one of the whole family all dressed up for the show. Grace stands front and center in a blue lace dress, with both arms raised in fist pumps above her head. She is so excited to watch her uncle, it’s adorable!
Slide 2 is where the magic happens. Grace is standing in the center of the DWTS ballroom, as a bright light shines on her. Nobody is here yet, the show hasn’t started, and Grace has the whole floor to herself. She jumps around, twirls her dress, spins, and dances as Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” plays over the speakers. She is so incredibly cute — and totally ready to perform herself one day!
The last picture included a snap of Grace with the dance troupe, including Hailey Bills, Carter Williams, and Onye Stevenson. “Our princess Grace ????????,” Bills commented. Williams wrote, “She’s perfect ????????✨ future DWTS dancer for sure!”
“I cannot wait for when Grace is old enough to be a contestant in dancing with the stars✨✨✨????????” another person wrote. Someone else commented, “Look at the joy that baby exudes. She is ❤️ personified.” We couldn’t agree more!
During the show, we could see Grace in the audience cheering on her uncle as he competed for a spot in the finale next week. After the competition, Robert gushed about his family’s support — and how knowledgeable Grace is on dance now.

“I just saw [my family] backstage, and they were just straight up screaming,” Robert told Entertainment Tonight with a laugh. “And my little niece Grace comes up to me. And ‘Viennese waltz’ is a hard thing to say, right? When your four years old.”
“Well, she was like, ‘I loved your Viennese waltz. Your footwork was excellent,’” he said in a perfect mimic of the little girl. “I’m like, ‘What the heck? Where did this come from? … Did you tell her to say that?’” he recalled asking his sister, who said she didn’t.
“Grace is getting into this,” he continued. “I am serious. She’s going to be here [on a future season of DWTS]. I said to her, ‘Who do you want to be paired with?’ and she’s like, ‘Val.’” So cute, we can’t handle it!
Terri commented on the video, “Grace loves you so much, Robert!” Bindi commented as well, writing, “We are so proud of you!!!! @robertirwinphotography”
We will be cheering Robert (and Grace, of course!) all the way to the finish line!
