Hilaria Baldwin Opens Up About Her DWTS Experience

Hilaria Baldwin is known for her candidness, and she's not holding back about the "embarrassing" moments she's faced while competing on Dancing With the Stars. During an interview with People, Baldwin, 41, shared her journey on season 34 of the popular reality show, admitting that stepping into the spotlight has been both "uncomfortable and embarrassing" at times.

“It's uncomfortable and embarrassing sometimes," Baldwin confessed, adding that the experience has pushed her out of her comfort zone.

Returning to Dance: A Mix of Old and New

Before joining DWTS, Baldwin had a background in dance. However, she revealed that returning to the dance floor hasn't been a walk in the park. “Some of it is like visiting a familiar friend when you're older, and you've had a lot of children, and broken some bones, if you can relate to that," she explained. Partnered with Gleb Savchenko, Baldwin is dancing at a higher level than ever before – a challenge she embraces.

Baldwin emphasized her focus on mastering the dance's quality and authenticity. "I'm really concentrating on the footwork and being independent," she said. "It's not just about relying on Gleb to guide me." Despite the hurdles, Baldwin is determined to push herself beyond her limits.

Embracing New Challenges

While the journey hasn't been easy, Baldwin is not backing down. "I didn't sign up for this to be comfortable," she stated. "I signed up for this to do hard things and to be brave." Her partner, Gleb, is the perfect motivator for this adventure.

On top of her current dances, Baldwin is thrilled to try new styles on the show. "Trying something brand new is liberating," she expressed. "It comes with different expectations, and I'm learning to be less hard on myself." Savchenko echoed her sentiments, praising Baldwin's hard work and dedication.

DWTS continues to air every Tuesday on ABC and Disney+, with streaming available on Hulu the following day. Baldwin's journey is one to watch, as she continues to dance her way through challenges and triumphs.
