Snooki tries to get into 'sexy and elegant' zone as she strolls around in racy leotard ahead of successful DWTS performance

She admitted she felt out of her comfort zone ahead of performing the rumba on Dancing With The Stars on Monday because it required her to be ‘sexy and elegant’.

But when Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi was spotted ahead of her performance – which ensured she went through to the following week – she looked as if she prepping herself to bring both of those qualities to the dance floor.
Strolling behind the scenes alongside a number of her co-stars the pint-sized reality star certainly looked sexy in her silver leotard and while she may have stuck to comfy shoes before changing into her dancing shoes, she had a look of seriousness on her face.

Walking along in the eye-catching number which featured a flowy white train the 25-year-old was seen making her way to the studio.
Making sure her feet didn’t feel the strain before the show she wore a pair of large furry looking slippers.
With her famous red hair curled in a side parting and her sultry eye make-up, she looked a far cry from the Snooki fans knew on Jersey shore.

All made-up: The star no doubt felt a little nervous before performing the rumba on the dance floor

In her column for People magazine she wrote before the show: ‘This dance is a tough one for me because not only do I need to be sexy and elegant, but I need to show sad emotion.
'I'm not a sad person. I love to laugh and be goofy, so in all our rehearsals I would crack up throughout the dance and I definitely think Sasha wanted to pull my hair out.’
It seems her concentration ahead of the show paid off as she went on to perform successfully alongside her professional partner Sasha Farber.
