Selma Blair Reveals Her Dance Background & What She Wants to Get Out Of 'Dancing with the Stars'

Selma told Extra that she took some time to really consider the offer when it came her way.

“I had to think about it for a moment or two or three,” she said. “I am not into ridicule but then I realized how amazing and supportive this group is.”

The actress added that she doesn’t have much of a dance background and joked about how she’d do once the season started.

“If god forbid there’s a hip hop section I will break a hip hop,” she joked.

She added that joining the show would hopefully help her inspire her 11-year-old son Arthur Saint Bleick.

“My son right now is having some challenges with getting back into school and doing things that are really creating some anxiety for him,” Selma said. “I realized last month actually ‘Like wow, I have to train myself to start getting up more.’ To get up because I do retreat a lot.”

“I am building stamina. I’m learning so I can help my son more with school and he can see that we do things that we never originally think that we would love,” she said.

Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars premieres September 19 on Disney+.
