Olympian Ilona Maher is trading in her rugby cleats for dancing shoes on the 33rd season of “Dancing with the Stars,” and she is finding it challenging to let her partner, Alan Bersten, take the lead on the dance floor. In an exclusive interview with E! News, Maher opened up about the struggle of not being the dominant force in her partnership.
As a professional athlete, Maher is used to being in control and exerting her power on the rugby field. However, she admits that on the dance floor, it’s a whole different story. “It’s hard not to be powerful when you’re used to being powerful,” Maher shared. She explained that she is working on trusting Bersten and allowing him to guide her through their routines.
Despite the challenges, Maher is determined to give her all and put on a great performance each week. With her competitive spirit and strong work ethic, it’s no surprise that Maher is already making waves on the show. Fans can tune in to “Dancing with the Stars” to see Maher and Bersten’s journey unfold as they strive for perfection on the dance floor.
