This week, Jason is joined by professional dancer, choreographer, and Dancing with the Stars legend, Val Chmerkovskiy!
Val has accomplished all that he could in the world of competitive dance with 14x US National Champion, 2x World Dance Champion. Val quickly rose to stardom after joining the show’s cast in 2011. Since his TV debut, the dance champion continues to be a fan favorite, both on and off the dance floor. Val continues to expand his talents as a dancer, choreographer, and in addition to co-founding Dance With Me Studios, one of the nation’s leading Latin and Ballroom Dance Studios where he also lends his experience as the venue’s art director. He has also developed Dance with Me Juniors, a program designed to help keep kids healthy, focused, and active in their communities.
Val gives insight to why he isn’t worried about the trophies, the different career paths within the dance industry, how social media is a new platform for dancers to be discovered, how his parents exposed him to the best dancers in the competitive dance world, and keeping optimism with every partner he has. Val also reveals the first time he completed against Mark Ballas, how his first season on the show taught him to expand his understanding of the dance world, the impact the pandemic has had on him, wanting to see his peers succeed, and the impact of Dancing with the Stars going to Disney Plus. Does he plan to go back to competitive dancing beyond Dancing with the Stars? How did he do his first season of Dancing with the Stars? How many dance studios does he have? Does he talk to his peers about what they make?
Val reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

Jenna and Val are so amazing! My daughter attended 24seven dance convention where Jenna and Val taught the Ballroom classes and they were electric! They were so good with the kids and took pictures with all of them! My daughter was in awe! We love them!

He is so humble, attributing his success not only to obviously effort and talent and hard work but a lot of luck. Let’s be honest, there’s millions of extremely talented people who get overlooked in great ways. Kudos. And God Bless your new family with your baby boy! Love you and Jenna❤ as well as Maks and his fam.
