‘DWTS’ season 24 champ Rashad Jennings’ advice to new cast: ‘Don’t take yourself too seriously’

Teach me your ways. I’ll teach you everything. The reigning champ? How are you doing? Look at my partners. Yay. You come back and then we just teams of three people. Trio. Trio. Pack on the trio. Come over here, you guys. Rashad, tell me — Wonderful to see you again. Nice to see you. Give them your Pers of wisdom. Wisdom? I don’t know how much wisdom I have but I could tell you — a piece of advice I would give to everybody is don’t take yourself too serious. You know, have fun. It’s an experience of a lifetime and don’t let the judges get under your skin, especially Len. He’s one of the toughest ones but seriously embrace it all. Really truly embrace it all and a couple of things I wish I would have known prior to coming on the show, one, if you wear a size 14, then you’re going to struggle.

I’m going to tell you that right now. 14 and up you’re going to struggle. Those dance shoes take my 13 and make it look like a size 6. I noticed that but I’m going to bring Len flowers, whatever I have to do. But I have big shoes to fill so I know that but I have the best partner. Drew, if you’re looking to sway Len bourbon, not flowers. Bourbon. Bourbon on the flowers. This man knows it all. Thank you for being here. That was wonderful.
