Sadie Robertson was nervous about dancing the rumba with partner Mark Ballas this week on Dancing With the Stars, noting that the dance is known as a “sexy” dance.

In a montage of the week’s rehearsals for week six of the dancing competition, Sadie expressed her fears of appearing too sexy and lamenting how “awkward” the dance made her feel.

“I hope this week, it doesn’t come off as sexy, but it comes off as sweet,” Sadie said, standing by her religious beliefs. “It’s just so awkward to me, and when I get awkward, I laugh a lot.”

Ballas was aware of her feelings and honored her family’s morals. At one point, the dancing duo sent a clip of their routine to Sadie’s mother, Korie Robertson, who made suggestions on how to keep the dance modest. Ballas was a complete gentleman and very protective of his partner’s feelings.

“I wanted to find the correct balance between being appropriate and doing the right dance,” he said.

Sadie‘s stand on morality and modesty paid off — the judges raved about the performance, which was soft, sensual and romantic.

“Obviously, the rumba is a very passionate dance, and sometimes when we think of sexy, (we think of) raunchy,” said judge Julianne Hough. “This was a beautiful story about falling in love, and that’s what I loved about it.”

Well that went well 🙂 🙂 so proud of @legitsadierob she was nervous of this one but as usual she delivered with flying colors… #DWTS #teamquackattack

Guest judge Pitbull was equally impressed.

“It was simple, it was powerful. …. I felt it was believable. Both of y’all did an amazing job,” he said.

Even mom Korie seemed more than pleased and proud of her daughter. At the end of the performance, Korie can be seen saying to her companion, “That was Beautiful.”

Well @legitsadierob me away again tonight! She knows exactly who she is, a beautiful daughter of the King. She's a shining light and I'm proud to be her mama today and everyday!
