Luckily, Taylor Hanson’s moves weren’t actually gone in an MMMBop.
In fact, as the Hanson member prepares to compete on season 35 of Dancing With the Stars, he and pro partner Britt Stewart, the two have found that his experience as a musician is certainly giving him a leg up.
“It's very very helpful,” Stewart told E! News in an exclusive joint interview with Hanson following the DWTS cast reveal on Sept. 2. “I love that each season I get to really teach and choreograph and curate this journey for whoever my partner is.”
“There was a moment in rehearsal the other day where I'm like, he's teaching me about music within my knowledge of music that I have already,” the 36-year-old continued. “And Taylor said it so many times: music and dance—they're so connected. So it’s definitely a strength that I'm using this season.”
Hanson added with a laugh, “It’s a strength I have to bring to the table.”
And the 43-year-old—who shares kids Ezra, 23, Penelope, 21, River, 19, Viggo, 17, Wilhelmina, 13, Indiana, 7, and Maybellene, 5, with wife Natalie—knows his time on the ABC series will be en pointe.
“It's a blast,” he raved. “What people feel from the show is real. There's a real familial energy. People are supportive of each other.”
And he knows the importance of that familial energy given he’s spent more than 30 years in a band with brothers Isaac Hanson and Zac Hanson.
“Obviously, it's a competition show,” the “This Time Around” singer added, “so we're going to see the eye of the tiger with everybody. But it's exciting.”
As for whether or not he’d be hitting the dance floor to any of Hanson’s classics? Well, he’s been thinkin’ ‘bout something, that’s for sure.
“Rhythm is what connects to dance, right?” he explained. “So there's a lot of rhythm in a lot of Hanson songs.”
“One of the songs that we actually performed—I think we were one of the first bands to perform on the show with live music—it was a song called ‘Give a Little,’ and it is a dance-oriented song. That's kind of the whole video,” Hanson shared. “And then, of course, people are curious about ‘MMMBop’ being kind of a calling card.”
