The "Dancing With The Stars" Season 21 pair to watch out for, Derek Hough and Bindi Irwin, took some time off from their dance practice and bonded over "Aussie lingo."
Three days ago, "DWTS" Season 21's pro dancer Derek Hough got the chance to learn the accent from Down Under. Julianne Hough's brother shared the cute moment he had with dancing partner Bindi Irwin on Instagram.
The clip, which as of writing has over forty-five thousand likes, was captioned: "@bindisueirwin trying to teach me some Aussie lingo and I'm failing miserably! #DWTS #teamCrikey"
Steve Irwin's daughter also shared the same clip on her Instagram account, but she captioned it differently: "It's official #TeamCrikey @derekhough doing an absolutely fantastic Aussie accent! I'm so proud!" Check out the adorable clip between the "DWTS 2015" dancing partners below.

In a separate post two days prior, Bindi expressed her excitement to work with the five-time mirrorball trophy champ.
Incredibly excited and blessed to be working with such an inspirational and wonderful partner. I can't wait for the journey to come with @derekhough working together on something so new to me. So far I can't stop laughing in the #DWTS studios and I've learned such a lot already thanks to Derek's patience! I can't wait to see what's yet to come and I'm ready to put my heart and soul into this adventure. A photo posted by Bindi Irwin (@bindisueirwin) on Sep 2, 2015 at 6:36pm PDT
Derek is also pleased with the fact that his dancing partner this season is a "Wildlife Warrior." Hough even took the time to introduce his partner to his followers with a black and white snap of them smiling for the camera.

Though the bond between Bindi and Derek is getting stronger ahead of the "Dancing With the Stars" Season 21 premiere next week, the 17-year-old Australian actress still admitted that she is "terrified" with the idea that she is going to be judged by judges Bruno Tonioli, Julianne Hough and Carrie Ann Inaba.
"Honestly, I am so nervous. I think the judges scare me more than any crocodile or any snake. Give me a 15-foot croc any day over the judges," she was quoted as saying by Access Hollywood.
Nevertheless, the "DWTS" contestant is determined to do her best for her partner. She said, "I want to do my best job I possibly can for Derek, for everyone on the show and for my family back at home. I want to see how far I can take this. I'm cheering everyone on, but for myself personally I want to take it far."
For this season, Irwin is competing against other stars who accepted the ballroom dancing challenge, namely: Kim Zolciak, Nick Carter, Tamar Braxton, Alexa and Carlos PenaVega, Andry Grammer, Chaka Khan, Hayes Grier, Alek Skarlatos, Victor Espinoza and Gary Busey, as per E! News.
"DWTS" Season 21 is premiering on Monday, Sept. 14, at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
