Anybody who frequents the internet would surely have heard of Honey Boo Boo, whose claim to fame was alongside her mum, Mama June, through 'Toddlers and Tiaras' back in 2012. And now, all of 12, she is participating on ABC's hit reality show, Dancing with the Stars' junior version, that debuted this Sunday, October 6.

Honey, real name Alana Thompson, kicked off her debut night on the show with a killer salsa performance, to 'Conga' by Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine with her junior pro dancer, Tristan Ianiero - showing off her moves in a fringed multi-colored dress, wowing the entire crowd like a boss. But it wasn't just her performance that she believes helped her score a solid 19 out of 30 points and earn praise from the judges.
