Despite having no formal experience in dancing, Sadie Robertson is definitely cut out to reign supreme in the dance floor.
This is how her professional partner Mark Ballas saw the 17-year-old reality show star after the pair performed a stunning cha-cha routine during the season 19 premiere of "Dancing with the Stars." That same performance earned praises from judge Bruno Tonioli, who said that Robertson is like "a bird of paradise."
When Access Hollywood asked Ballas if his partner could reach the finals night of the hit dance reality show, he said, "I definitely feel like we have potential for sure, yeah. It's only Week 2 coming up, but you can keep taking it day by day, week by week, but I definitely feel like she has potential, yes."
The "Duck Dynasty" star also earned praises from her dancing idol and DWTS season 19 judge Julianne Hough, dubbing her as the "total package."
Robertson earned two 8s and two 9s during the Week 1 performances, which paved the way for her and Ballas to land in the second place.
The dancing rookie never had an opportunity to dance in public before. As a matter of fact, she is studying at Ouachita Christians School in Monroe, LA, a high school where school dances are not allowed.
Meanwhile, Robertson's grandfather Phil had been embroiled in a health scare rumor after reporters misunderstood her statement that her "grandpa ... had to go to the hospital."
The speculations about Phil's ill health worsened after he was not seen during his granddaughter's performance last week.
According to her representative, the "Duck Dynasty" patriarch is in good condition and has not been rushed to the hospital all week. Robertson was referring to her maternal grandfather, John Howard, when she made her remark.
Sadie is the daughter of Phil Robertson's son Willie.
If Robertson will continue her outstanding performance just like week 1, she could possibly be a Mirror Ball champion by the end of the season.
