As she added, “It’s pretty special.”
Yet, despite Stiles’ experience dancing onscreen as Sara in Save the Last Dance, she admitted DWTS comes with its own set of challenges.
“That’s the crazy thing,” she said. “This is the first time I’m not hiding behind a character, or like a script. This is me. It’s not Sarah, it’s not any of the other characters I’ve played. It’s just Julia.”
“But,” she affirmed, “I am ready.”
And Sosa is thrilled he’s been chosen as the 10 Things I Hate About You star’s partner.
“I feel so lucky,” he said. “The moment she walked in the door I literally could not even believe that she signed on to do this show. But just the fact that she is such a fan of the show makes it that much more special, and I just feel so lucky.”
Plus, if he and Stiles get far enough into the competition, he teased that fans may get to see some resurrected dance moves from Save the Last Dance.
