“Amanda is literally the sweetest person in the world. I truly am so lucky that I was her partner. We went on his incredible journey together,” Alan told host Robert Peterpaul. “We’re supposed to be teaching them so much, but Amanda really taught me so much… Somehow she made me believe in myself even more than I thought I could…”
“One of the biggest things she taught me was not only to be grateful and enjoy every moment because you truly don’t know when it’s over, but also to look at the positivity and pass on that kindness,” he continued.
“Amanda has gone through so much and the fact that every day she goes out there and spreads positivity is such a blessing,” Alan shared. “She goes out of her way and says hi to every single person and asks how they’re doing and if they’re doing ok. It’s so inspiring to see because she is literally going out there and making people smile.”
Alan also dished about having to give “tough love” to the celebrity contestants on DWTS.
“I am very passionate and so I love working for it and achieving that goal. When somebody cares you don’t have to force them to do anything. You can be tough on them because you believe in them,” he said. “You can’t teach somebody to be passionate. You can’t teach somebody to be dedicated. You can ask them, but at the end of the day it’s their choice. Amanda always came out there with this willing to learn and wanting to grow. The biggest part of the show that helps a partnership or kills a partnership is communication. Amanda is a very good communicator.”
