Jenna had spent all of her career in the world of dance and achieving accomplishments such as being a 5x US National Latin dance champion, 3x National contemporary dance champion, US National youth 10x dance champion and many more. She gained recognition after joining Dancing with the Stars back in 2014 and has gone on to compete in eight different seasons, finished as a mirrorball champion of season 26, grown her social media following exponentially, and among other things met her husband Val.

Jenna dives into the behind-the-scenes of this season of Dancing with the Stars with partner Joey Graziadei, what dances she finds most difficult for men, when she started dancing, the difficulty of the dance industry, how she and Val discuss money and how to set a dollar amount on their talent, her love/hate relationship with social media and how she found love with Val. Jenna also reveals how they balance their competitiveness, the importance of ensuring that everyone's significant others feel included in the experience, where else money can be made in dancing, and how she is able to calm the nerves. Who has surprised her this season? What DWTS pro is her best friend in the whole world? Does she share her choreography with Val during the season?
