Watch as Bindi Irwin exhibits a bloomin' bit of Whip and Nae Nae in this exciting DWTS Season 21 Promo, straight from the Outback!
"Watch me whip! ..."
"Now watch me Nae Nae!"
Well, crikey! (Oh, yes, I'm going to beat that horse to a pulp!) She wasn't half bad! ... She wasn't half good either ...
She can obviously hold a beat, though; and, she is clearly not afraid to have fun with it ... And those are two very important things to have down for this competition ... so who knows? There may yet be some hope for Bindi!
Watch me ...whoa! Ew! ... What is that?!
(The uh, snake is staying Down Under though, right Sheila?!)

Watch me ... whoa! ... stop!
Hmmm, make that a very little Whip and even less Nae Nae! ... Was it just me, or was that surprisingly awful?!!
Watch me ... Nae Nae ... ?
(I'm not even sure that quick succession of completely-off-the-beat and some-what-spastic movement would technically qualify as "dancing" ...)
Seriously dude ... what are you doing?
But hey! Who knows? With the right Professional partner, time, and (a heck of a lot of) practice, young Hayes may yet come around! See video below to watch Hayes "Whip/Nae Nae", courtesy of ABC's great Dancing With the Stars YouTube Channel!
