‘Dancing With The Stars’ Pro Derek Hough Talks Bethany Mota’s Inspiring Performance And His New Partner Sadie Robertson

When season 19 of Dancing With the Stars returns tomorrow night, the contestants will have new partners. DWTS pro Derek Hough is now talking all about his new partner Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson. But first, Derek can't stop showing his support for former partner Bethany Mota's inspirational performance last week.

"I'm really proud of Bethany and our routine this week. I really wanted to try to use the creative to convey a message in a way that was simple but understandable and impactful. That's why I felt like using the words on the screen. Words are things that can affect us," Derek wrote in his TV Guide blog.

Last week Derek and Bethany did a rhumba as a part of "The Most Memorable Year of My Life" episode. Bethany is a YouTube star who used the online video site to find herself and get away from bullying at school. The routine was powerful and meant a lot to both Bethany and Derek.

"I told her, 'At the end, I want you to look up at the message and I want you to believe it and think about how far you've come.' She did that and she turned around and started crying during the show. It really got to me," he wrote.

Bethany will now be with pro Mark Ballas, who was formerly Sadie's partner. Sadie and Bethany did an even switch with their partners. Now that Derek has Sadie as a partner he revealed how excited he is to dance with her and the pressure he feels not to let her down.

"We have the Charleston and Sadie's doing great so far. She's a really terrific dancer and she's not afraid to try things," Derek revealed about his upcoming performance and new partner. "I think she's been really impressive so far on the show, so hopefully I won't let her down! I was joking that I should grow my blonde beard out and it'll be Albino Duck Dynasty. I don't think we've had that yet!"

Tune in to Dancing With the Stars on Monday on ABC to see who all the contestants' new partners are.
