Bindi Irwin returned to the studio on Monday afternoon as rehearsals continued in earnest ahead of her forthcoming appearance on Dancing With The Stars. 

The 17-year-old was joined by professional dance partner Derek Hough, a veteran performer on the hit show, as they made their way inside for another day of preparation. 

Bindi was dressed down in an olive green T-shirt and black leggings for her latest appearance at the Los Angeles rehearsal room, and she was in characteristically high spirits as she greeted onlookers.

The teenage daughter of late conservationist Steve Irwin completed her casual look with a pair of Converse trainers, while her strappy dance shoes were clutched in her right hand. 

Meanwhile Derek, 30, carried a healthy salad lunch into the rehearsal room as he prepared to put Bindi through her paces. 

The dancer has previously credited the young wildlife enthusiast for reinvigorating his enthusiasm for the show.

'I love her. She's amazing,' the 31-year-old told People magazine. 'She's a breath of fresh air. We all need a little Bindi in our life. Seriously.'

'I'm in this space right now where I'm super pumped on life right now. I feel connected. I feel great. And then she walks in my life. You don't understand what positive energy she is.' 

Bindi herself told People: 'This is going to be more terrifying than jumping on top of a crocodile. Crocodiles, they are very special because they are modern-day dinosaurs. 

Coming soon: Bindi will have an opportunity to show off her skills when Dancing With The Stars returns on September 14
