Summary
- Jenna Johnson dreams of Jason Kelce and Taylor Lautner joining DWTS.
- She considers JoJo Siwa, Joey Graziadei, and Adam Rippon favorites.
- Enthusiasm and dedication make a celebrity a successful dance partner.
Jenna Johnson, a veteran professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars, shared her aspirations for future celebrity contestants. She has long hoped to see football player Jason Kelce and actor Taylor Lautner compete on the show. Johnson even mentioned that Lautner could showcase his backflips, imagining an "iconic" season if he and his wife joined her and her husband, Val Chmerkovskiy.
Reflecting on past seasons, Johnson identified JoJo Siwa, Joey Graziadei, and Adam Rippon as particularly memorable partners. She praised their eagerness to learn and their strong work ethic, which she believes are crucial for a successful partnership. Johnson noted that Graziadei's vulnerability and openness during his season significantly contributed to his popularity and success, winning the Mirrorball Trophy.
Johnson's successful partnership with Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon, which resulted in a Mirrorball Trophy win on season 26, exemplifies the impact of a contestant's dedication. She emphasized that contestants who are "hungry to learn ballroom" and fully embrace the experience tend to be the most meaningful and successful partners.
