Dancing with the Stars pro turned country music starlet Julianne Hough is beaming over her role in the upcoming Footloose remake.

The talented hoofer, 22, will show off her fancy footwork in the role of rebellious preacher’s daughter Ariel Moore in the movie musical. And Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford has already been cast as Ren McCormack, the lead role played by Kevin Bacon in the 1984 original.

Julianne can hardly wait for shooting to begin on the new movie, which is scheduled to go into production next March.

“I’m really excited about ‘Footloose,’” Julianne tells ET. “We’re still working out the nitty gritty details of scheduling and stuff, but I’m super excited. I feel like we have the best people working on it — Paramount, and Kenny Ortega, and the producers. So I’m getting really excited.”

Footloose is expected to hit theaters next July.
