Candace Cameron Bure has continued to make it known that she won't be donning skimpy outfits on Season 18 of Dancing With the Stars. On Monday, the Full House alum received huge support from the audience when she once again spoke about her values and Christian faith during her pre-taped rehearsal footage.
"I'm a Christian. My life revolves around my relationship with Jesus Christ," Bure, 37, said before dancing the rumba with partner Mark Ballas. "So with the overall tone of the dance and the costumes I'm not going to take a backseat. My voice will definitely be heard."
When Bure mentioned her faith, "the entire crowd in the ballroom cheered and clapped really loudly," an onlooker told Us Weekly. She also had several family members attending the live show.
In the ABC clip, Bure and Ballas, 27, also discussed with the show's costume designers what vision they had for their dance. However, when Ballas said he would like to go shirtless, Bure quickly jumped in.
"Not without my permission! No, I have to think about that," she said. "This rumba is not a sexual dance," she added in her one-on-one. After Cameron Bure nixes Ballas' plans to go shirtless, he replies, "You're worse than Bristol Palin. And she was bad."
"This rumba is not a sexual dance," Cameron Bure justifies. "It's a sensual emotional dance. Sensual is more sexy than raunchy sexy, so I think this is going to be a beautiful dance," she said of the rumba, which the duo performed to tune of "Say Something."
After last week's season premiere, Bure opened up to US Magazine about her modest wardrobe choices. "I won't be the sexiest one out there. I am a mom and I want to be a good role model for my children and my husband," she told Us at the time. "I think for each dance we'll wear what reflects the dance but in the most classy way possible."
Candace Cameron Bure hasn't been shy in the past when opening up about her 'submissive' role in her marriage, so how does the former Full House star justify shaking her stuff on a sexy show like Dancing With the Stars?
"You know, I feel like a sexual woman...I've been married for 18 years," the mother of three responded when host Erin Andrews asked the star how she balances her religious beliefs while performing a sexy dance. "I am a sexual woman. But, you know, I want to reserve certain things for my husband. So we did, I think, the best that we could with the rumba that I still felt comfortable doing."
"I'm a Christian. My life revolves around my relationship with Jesus Christ, so with the overall tone of the dance or the costumes, I'm not going to take a backseat. My voice will definitely be heard," the conservative star says in the clip.
