Alan Bersten: The Power of Communication

In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with dancer, choreographer, and Dancing with the Stars pro Alan Bersten! Alan shares everything from how young he was when he first fell in love with dance to the moment he realized he wanted to pursue it professionally. He reflects on his early days on So You Think You Can Dance, how many years he’s now been part of Dancing with the Stars, and what it was like learning how to teach complete non-dancers. Alan also opens up about going public with his relationship with Emma Slater, navigating online opinions, and setting boundaries with social media — especially while working on a show with such a massive digital presence. He talks about partnering with Elaine Hendrix this season, the injury that kept her out of the Halloween episode, his favorite dance of the season, the styles he loves and least loves to teach, and the self-care rituals that help him reset after long rehearsal days. To close, we round out the episode with Lemon 7!
