"Every time I wake up, it's like I can't wait to dance," the Olympian says after wrapping a three-hour rehearsal at a dance studio here. "I can't wait to get back in there to see if things soaked in overnight."

"That's what I'm trying to do and it's bringing that passion in again, like trying to be graceful and using your body to make it flow instead of thunk," she says, stomping her feet on the floor.

"
