Chef Giada De Laurentiis finds 'breakthroughs' on Dancing With the Stars

Summary
- De Laurentiis accepted DWTS after her daughter's strong encouragement.
- The celebrity chef experienced rough days but found 'breakthroughs' in practice.
- She is most nervous to impress judge Bruno Tonioli.
Chef Giada De Laurentiis is preparing for her debut on season 35 of "Dancing With the Stars," admitting to a challenging start and "a few emotions" leading up to the premiere.
De Laurentiis revealed that her 18-year-old daughter, Jade, was the primary reason she accepted the "DWTS" invitation, as Jade is a fan of the show and her partner, Alan Bersten. De Laurentiis has been sharing her culinary skills with Bersten, teaching him to make bagels from scratch.
Despite initial difficulties, De Laurentiis has found "breakthroughs" in her dance training, attributing some of her emotional state to dropping her daughter off at college. She has been diligently practicing on her own, taking Bersten's advice to write down steps like a recipe, which has proven effective.
De Laurentiis is set to compete alongside other celebrities and is reportedly most nervous about impressing judge Bruno Tonioli, known for his vocal critiques. The "Dancing With the Stars" two-night premiere was scheduled for Tuesday, September 15, and Wednesday, September 16.
