After being voted off Dancing With the Stars, Phaedra Parks and Val Chmerkovskiy tell Us Weekly what they learned as partners
Phaedra Parks and three-time Dancing With the Stars winner Val Chmerkovskiy saw their run on season 33 come to an end in the Tuesday, October 22 episode, but their time was not wasted.“I learned that I could really trust someone because couple dancing is a lot about trusting your partner and not always being in control,” said Parks, 50. “And he was a very gentle partner, and he really helped me a lot of times just get out of my head and, you know, get on the dance floor.
“She taught me to always overlook the contract, make sure everything's right, redline it a couple of times,” he said. “Phaedra taught me how to honestly not box yourself in. You know, I'm also in a position where I mastered a craft, and I'm still curious and still want more. She's a testament that you can have more.”
Parks also has more than two decades of experience as a lawyer and has a side business as a mortician. Chmerkovskiy also saw the work Parks put in. Known for her confidence, on stage and on TV, he said every bit of it is earned.
