Olivia’s dance partner was supportive Val Chmerkovskiy  DWTS She was encouraged by her fans to be “vulnerable” during her efforts.

Olivia shared that she thought that that being able to see it from others was the greatest thing that I learned. It was a habit I had for so many, where I put up walls and acted in ways that weren’t true to myself. Or I wouldn’t speak about anything personal, because I might get a negative response or people don’t like it. Now, I find it’s an amazing platform because I can be open and honest with people. This is especially helpful for certain topics.

Val related to Olivia, and described his 17-years of experience. DWTS It is an expression form and an opportunity to do the things I love. Will Val part ways with ABC’s hit dancing contest?
