She competed in the 30th season of "Dancing with the Stars" in 2021, finishing fourth. Her love of dance and fitness led her to work and lead classes at one of New York's premiere fitness studios.

Fitness brand - her signature classes feature jump ropes and dance mixed with cross training to create a unique full body workout. In addition to the AK!
