That’s when fate showed up. “I was like, ‘What am I gonna do?’ And then because of my experience as a ballroom and Latin dancer, Dancing with the Stars was a new show, [and] the producers of the show asked me if I would be a dancer on the actual TV show. I was like, okay, I’ll do it. I ended up doing the show and won my first two seasons back to back. It was like a ripple effect. I felt like the stars were aligned.”
