DWTS Pro Alan Bersten Was So Anxious During His First Season as a Pro (Exclusive)

We’re so excited that Alan Bersten is back as a pro for the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars!

The long-time troupe member was upped to a pro during Season 25, where he performed with Debbie Gibson, and will be back again for the all-athletes season.

Looking back at our interview with Alan, he opened up about the nerves hitting him ahead of his premiere season as a pro.

“I was definitely anxious and definitely had nerves,’ he told us. “But they were the good kind of nerves of like ‘I can’t wait to show everyone how hard we’ve been working’. It was the premiere and it was amazing.”

Alan added, “It’s an exciting feeling and it’s hard to put it all into words how it feels to work so hard for this one goal and to be able to enjoy it for a minute and a half; just to savor that special moment.”

We hope Alan has the good-kind of nerves again for this season!
