Monday (September 24) brought with it the ‘Dancing With the Stars’ debut of Tinashe and her first-time pro partner, Brandon Armstrong.

“Brandon is young, he’s fun, he’s cool, we have a good vibe,” the 25-year-old “No Drama” singer explained. “We’re both really competitive. I know he wants that Mirrorball [trophy], I certainly want that Mirrorball.”

Proof of that competitive drive was certainly evidenced from tonight’s showing as ‘Nashe – easily one of the most experienced dancers among the show’s roster – popped, locked, and dropped it all across the dancefloor like only she can.
