Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars on ABC has started and word that Professional Dancer, Emma Slater has a new partner may come as a surprise to many. Slater became engaged to her forever partner, Sasha Farber, live on television, last season - and only weeks ago, Slater thrilled DWTS and NFL fans everywhere by debuting her duo with running back, Rashad Jennings on Good Morning America. So, who is this new partner?
"I am delighted to announce I have a new partner - Dancing with the Stars Self Tanner by Norvell with Vio-7â„¢," mused Slater. She continues, "As a professional dancer, who wears skin baring costumes, I have tried it all - and I sadly, have been every color under the sun including the dreaded orange! Dancing with the Stars Self Tanner with Vio-7 is distinctly different."

We'll get to these amazing products in a few moments but first, I had the chance to interview Emma and here are some of her thoughts on being your best and helping others be their best as well.
Tell us about yourself and why you do what you do.
I'm a passionate person who loves too many things to be doing something for a living that I don't love. I always wanted to perform and express myself creatively. I dance because it was the most 'me' I've ever felt and I can't hide behind my words like I normally do. I'm a words person and I love to write but dancing is that part of me where I don't have to explain and I can play the real character of me. The insides become the outsides instantly.
How do you help others be their best?
I will always be a supporter of positive mental attitude. I truly believe one of the best ways to help yourself is to help others. That kindness pays back, not only do you share your positivity with someone else, the joy and sense of fulfillment it gives you makes you a positive, happy person. People underestimate what a little kind hello and smile can do. We are all more alike than we are different.
It's been my life long dream to create a charity, foundation or organization. When I was a kid I wanted to protect the rain forests and I still do but now I'm thinking in another direction though I feel it might take a few years. But it will be worth it!
How did you get to be where you are today?
I owe my life to my parents completely. There's no stronger force in my life. The path they led me and my sister on and moral standing they passed on to us only attributes the outstanding people they are. They put us first and allowed us to dream and see the best in everything. My parents would sacrifice their weekends every single week to driving me all over England for dance. My dance partner lived 3 hours away, one way! I'll never be able to thank them enough for all of the sacrifices they made, the time and money they spent. We have so much love in our family, and I can't wait to be like that with my kids one day too.
How do you help yourself be the best you can be?
I have good taste in Fiances!! Hahaha my Fiancé Sasha (Farber) is my best friend and everything I didn't even know I could have in a partner. He's the love of my life.
I need to listen to music. That's a huge part of finding my inner peace, clearing my head space. I also eat as healthy as my palette will allow. The main way I help myself though, is by helping others.
Have you ever been fired?
So far I've never been fired. Touching wood that I can keep that up!
What do you hope to accomplish in the future?
In the future I hope to raise a beautiful family and continue to explore life's opportunities. I want to travel more. I would love to speak Russian, something I'm learning but sadly not very good at just yet. I hope to branch out a little more into presenting and doing some TV hosting. I plan to have a foundation and make a positive impact in how much people give back.
Please give us a few shameless plugs
I'm so thrilled to be partnering up with Norvell on the 'Dancing with the Stars' Self Tanning Collection. Being a dancer I've experienced every single tan imaginable, from the green tan, to the streaky, from the orange to the snake skin! So teaming up with Norvell has been so exciting as they are the only ones to have a wonderful formula called Vio-7 which is an anti-orange complex. All products in the line are really easy to use and give you a wonderfully consistent glow. So that's my big project right now and I can't wait for it to hit the shelves!

Dancing with the Stars is into its 24th season and my partner Rashad and I are working hard each week to bring our A game!! Having so much fun with him.

"The Dancing with the Starsname is synonymous with a coveted tan and Norvell is known as the #1 professional self tanner.

To get the word out about Slater being in Vio-7â„¢ heaven, she will be featured in a national television, digital, and print campaign. "It is often said that you must have some 'skin in the game', if you want to win. Well, each week on the show, you can judge my tan for itself" Slater shares. "Whether I come home with the mirror ball trophy or not, I feel more confident about my color every time I look in the mirror."
