"Duck Dynasty" star Sadie Robertson will hit the "Dancing With the Stars" dance floor on Monday with new partner Derek Hough in the show's next episode.  Hough is known to be a killer dancer and has won in the show five times.

The pro dancer has expressed his thoughts on his future grooving venture with Sadie, and wrote in TV Guide that while they have been "riding four-wheelers and having a good time," he also said Sadie is "doing great so far."

"She's a really terrific dancer and she's not afraid to try things. I think she's been really impressive so far on the show, so hopefully I won't let her down!" Hough added.

During the previous episode on Oct. 6, the 10 remaining celebrity contenders prepared dance routines to songs reminiscent of their most memorable year, and Sadie and her dancing partner Mark Ballas performed Samba to Pharell's Hunter, in commemoration of the year the Roberstons started "Duck Dynasty."

Sadie's father Willie and uncles Jase, Jep and Si took part in the performance which they kicked off with duck calls. The partners soared high, finishing off with a rating of 37 out of 40. The 17-year-old said prior to the performance that "Duck Dynasty" changed everything for her.

"I was 14 and I didn't realize how big it was going to be," Sadie said. "But there's definitely been some bad things about being in the public eye."

Sadie continued on with the issues that has struck her family, and explained what they are doing to get through, some of which pertain to the issue on Phil Robertson's comments on homosexuality.

"Everybody knows who you are and they're looking for you to mess up. My grandpa said some things that upset some people and the press came after him."

But as what she affirmed, it's faith that keeps them all smiling.

"My family would not be where we are without our faith. That's what's carried us this whole way," she added. "You know, we put our faith in God and we like to share that with everybody."

Meanwhile, Sadie's regular dance partner Mark Ballas will pair with Hough's dancing partner for the season, Bethany Mota.
