Amanda Kloots Says DWTS Partner Alan Bersten Was "Very Mean" to Her

As a seasoned observer of the dance floor, I must say that this year’s Dancing with the Stars lineup is nothing short of extraordinary! Each contestant brings their unique charm and charisma to the ballroom, making every performance a delightful spectacle.


Amanda Kloots is dancing through her memories. 

I couldn’t help but spill the beans about my heart-pounding journey during season 30 of “Dancing with the Stars” in 2021, sharing the stage with none other than my incredible dance partner, Alan Bersten. What a ride it was!

Amanda shared on the Boyfriend Material with Harry Jowsey podcast on November 19th that he was unkind to her. She attributed his behavior to his Russian background and the competitive dance environment he grew up in, saying, “His upbringing in Russia, particularly within the dance community, may have influenced this. He recognized my potential, and perhaps we could have won together.

Amanda mentioned that she had been scolded, yet she usually held back her emotions as she didn’t wish to disrupt their rehearsal schedule, especially since there might be an opportunity for an interview about her feelings with the producers.

She mentioned that she’d contain her feelings, saying, “I’d seal them away,” while on the outside we’d only see us dancing. However, deep within her, there was a storm brewing.

TopMob News has reached out to reps for Alan and ABC but has not heard back.

Nonetheless, at the age of 42, she is confident that she made a positive impact on Alan, with whom she finished fourth that year. It was Iman Shumpert and Daniella Karagach who won the coveted mirror ball trophy in that same season.

Amanda said, “Alan has matured significantly over the past few years, if I may say so. And let me add, I believe he would concur with me on this point: Through my guidance, I’ve assisted him in becoming more considerate and kind.

Previously, the woman who was once a Rockette and has a 5-year-old son named Elvis with the late Nick Cordero, discussed her ‘Dancing with the Stars’ experience during an interview with Katie Couric.

In her interview in November 2021, she shared that the toughest aspect of “Dancing with the Stars” for her was undoubtedly the pressure of mastering a completely fresh dance routine every week, making it stage-worthy and flawless within six days. Each dance presents unique challenges due to its distinct techniques, styles, and individual character. Therefore, learning it, feeling confident about it, and ultimately being ready to perform it was both mentally and physically draining.

Though there were a few silver-linings, like her son getting to watch her dance.

Amanda remarked, “He found the experience adorable as he seemed to tag along on our adventure with me. He soon became engrossed, enjoying watching us dance, and even began to notice Alan, adding a sweet touch to the whole scene.
