Bindi Irwin officially launches bid to be the next Rumer Willis in first DWTS promo photo

For someone who had never worn heels before her first Dancing with the Stars rehearsal, Bindi Irwin appears to be a fast learner.

The 17-year-old strapped on a pair for her first official promo photo from the upcoming US season of DWTS, and she and partner Derek Hough, 30, are already looking like winners. She even gets him to defy gravity.

Bindi shared the photo on Instagram with the caption: "This journey....I don't know if I've ever laughed so much in my entire life as I have in the studio with@derekhough #DWTS".

Bindi's chemistry with Derek bodes well. Check out their easy rapport as she tries to teach him to talk like an Aussie.
