We're doing the original choreography — they're not holding back with me — and I'm just loving it. I'm just eating it up. I'm like, 'Oh my God, I should have been doing this longer!' But this is the right time." She said she's a "sponge," and has been "soaking in" every part of the experience so far. "I needed this right now," she told PEOPLE "I feel like this is something I really needed to sink my teeth into. I love to work. I love to work hard."
