Lauren Alaina made her Dancing With the Stars debut Monday night with a little help from Shania Twain. The country singer proved she knew her way around the dance floor while she did the cha-cha-cha to Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!”
The singer didn’t leave her country roots behind either. The opening sequence showed her donning a leopard-print cowboy hat while embracing choreographed moves during a chair routine with two other dancers. She’d then join partner Gleb Savchenko on the floor.
All smiles throughout the number, any nervousness Alaina may have had about her first performance was hidden. Alaina glided around the floor effortlessly with Savchenko on the season 28 premiere of DWTS. All the while, she lip-synced the words to Twain’s hit song.
