She topped the leaderboard with an inspired performance on Monday night.

But despite the high marks, Bindi Irwin was primed and ready to move on to the next routine.

The 17-year-old animal rights activist was all smiles as she headed to the Dancing With The Stars rehearsal space in Hollywood on Tuesday.

All smiles: Bindi Irwin was in good spirits as she arrived at the Dancing With The Stars rehearsal space in Hollywood on Tuesday

No doubt she was feeling confidence after the premiere episode of season 21 as she beamed from ear to ear while making it in for another practice session.

Her mother Terri dropped off the starlet for the day at the dancing studio as Bindi was set to work on her next routine with pro partner Derek Hough.

The Aussie actress and television presenter looked relaxed as she wore sleeveless purple floral dress with brown leather flip flops.

Flower power: She wore a sleeveless purple floral patterned dress and brown leather flip-flops

Good spirits: She smiled as her light brown tresses were worn down and she had minimal make-up on her face

Her long, brunette tresses were worn down flowing over her shoulder as she had minimal make-up on her face.

Her 30-year-old partner Derek was also spotted at the car park heading to rehearsals as he sported a light blue vest with grey shorts, trainers and a trucker cap.

The teenager and older brother of Julianne Hough put in one of the strongest performances of the night and topped the scores on the show's season premiere on Monday.

Bindi wowed the judges and the studio audience with her sensational jive dance with partner Derek as she was branded 'The Wonder from Down Under.'

Mother dear: Her mom Terri was there to drop her off for practice

Just the two of us: No doubt the wife of the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin was proud as her daughter got one of the highest scores of the evening on Monday night's premiere episode

And she could not contain her glee, with a huge smile on her face at the end of the polished performance.

Taking to Instagram after the show, the affable teen thanked partner Derek, writing: 'This experience. I am grateful beyond words for tonight. Thank you all and especially my life coach & dance partner #TeamCrikey.'

Meanwhile, Derek was equally gushing writing of his young protege: 'So proud of this incredible Angel! She continuously reminds me of the magic in this life with her infectious genuine powerful energy. Love you @bindisueirwin #teamCrikey #dwts .'

The dancing pair tied scores with Backstreet Boy Nick Carter and his pro-partner Sharna Burgess with a total of 24.

Surely the 35-year-old boybander did not want Bindi to get the upperhand as he was seen heading to the practice space as well.

Nick was dressed comfortably for the day of dancing as he sported a black shirt with matching athletic trousers and a pair of patterned Air Jordan IV trainers.

Dancing With The Stars is set to return Monday at 8pm on ABC.
