Robert Irwin melts hearts teaching niece Grace adorable dance moves
Robert Irwin has some serious competition from a pint-sized family member.
The wildlife conservationist and current "Dancing with the Stars" season 34 contestant posted a sweet Instagram video over the weekend showing him giving dance lessons to his 4-year-old niece Grace as he prepared for week two of the reality competition show.
In the clip, Irwin leads Grace -- the daughter of Irwin's sister Bindi Irwin and her husband Chandler Powell -- through a playful routine complete with kicks, spins and jumps as they twirl hand in hand.
"Loved it," Bindi Irwin cheers from behind the camera.
At the end, Grace adorably asks, "Did I win?" prompting her uncle to reply, "You won… 10s, all 10s…. Everybody else can go home now, Grace has won."
Robert Irwin captioned the post, "Grace is making sure my dance training continues when I get home."
"She is prepped and ready for season 50 of @dancingwiththestars 👌😆," he continued. "Seriously so grateful I have my family here supporting me on this DWTS journey."
Last week, Robert Irwin wowed viewers during the season premiere, leaping off a car mid-jive in his signature khaki pants alongside pro partner Witney Carson -- a performance "DWTS" judge Derek Hough called "probably the best first dance I've ever seen on this show."
Robert Irwin later credited Carson for the pair's standout debut, saying, "Every success on the dance floor is her fault."
"Dancing with the Stars" returns for week two Tuesday, Sept. 23.
