"[Dance partner] Alan [Bersten] is my show security blanket, and Lisa is my life security blanket," the 54-year-old further mentioned.

"And I look at her and I instantly feel calm," she said of the 62-year-old comedian.

"She just knows," Elaine said of the Abbott Elementary star, adding, "We know what to say to each other because we know each other so well. So when I start to get on the edge, she knows how to bring me back and how to calm me down. And so, having her here means everything to me."

Alan, Elaine’s dance partner was asked by PEOPLE if the team had a name and a signature handshake, he replied, "We're stuck with that incredible handshake, and we're proud of it," referring to the secret handshake in The Parent Trap, that twins Annie and Hallie (both played by Lindsay Lohan) perform.

The Dynasty star and the dance pro also incorporated part of the popular handshake into their choreography during DWTS' 34 season premiere.

"Our team name is Team Partner Trap," Alan added.

As for Lisa Ann Walter, Elaine Hendrix insists that her former costar plans to "be here every week" to support her during her DWTS journey.
