Amanda Kloots Reflects on DWTS Partnership

Amanda Kloots has opened up about her challenging experience on 'Dancing With the Stars,' revealing that her partner, Alan Bersten, was 'very mean' to her during rehearsals, often yelling at her. On the podcast 'Boyfriend Material,' she attributed some of their tension to Bersten's upbringing in a strict Russian dance environment, which may have influenced his demanding nature. Despite the difficulties, Kloots believes she helped him become a nicer person, and she expressed a fondness for their time together, stating they ultimately became best friends. Kloots acknowledged feeling pressure to perform well, which led her to bottle up her emotions rather than express dissatisfaction to producers. In a recent Instagram post, Kloots clarified that while there were tough moments, their bond has endured, and she is grateful for Bersten's support during her healing process. Overall, she expressed a willingness to return to the show, indicating her love for the dance experience.
