Robert Irwin has his own method of winning.<\/p>\n

During a Sept. 23 interview with Us Weekly,<\/a> the wildlife conservationist, 21,<\/a> explained why he likes to sing along to the music<\/a> when competing on Season 34 of “Dancing with the Stars.”<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI (have) no idea about dance, but I do know I love music,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Irwin \u2014 who is the only son of late “Crocodile Hunter” star Steve Irwin and Terri Irwin \u2014 added his partner, Witney Carson, keeps telling him to \u201cfeel that music\u201d when they\u2019re performing.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, singing it, getting into it, and just giving every fiber of my being to this experience, that\u2019s why I\u2019m here,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m so lucky that I have someone like Witney to direct all of this ridiculous tornado of passion and energy into some semblance of skill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robert Irwin noted that Carson also tells him to \u201clet the music move your body\u201d and \u201ctake control.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carson\u2019s advice appears to be working. Irwin and the professional dancer came out on top during the premiere episode of \u201cDancing With the Stars.\u201d<\/p>\n

The duo, who performed a jive to \u201cBorn To Be Wild\u201d<\/a> by Steppenwolf, received one of the highest scores of the night. They were given a 15\/20 along with \u201cThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives\u201d star Whitney Leavitt and her partner, Mark Ballas, who also received the same score.<\/p>\n

Then, for Week 2<\/a>, he also did well and got a score of 22\/30. That night, fans learned that couple Corey Feldman and Jenna Johnson were eliminated along with Baron Davis and Britt Stewart.<\/p>\n

In a May interview with TODAY<\/a>, Robert Irwin talked about his chances of winning \u201cDancing with the Stars,\u201d and said he received some “tips” from sister Bindi Irwin, who previously won Season 21 of the dancing competition show. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe was incredible,\u201d he said of her performances. \u201cSo I am really leaning on all of her knowledge. She\u2019s given me a few tips already, but she never danced either.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robert Irwin has his own method of winning.
