When it comes to performing on 'Dancing With The Stars', a lot rides on the relationship between celebrity and pro-dancer. Their rapport translates on-screen and sells any performance, so having a versatile yet trusting relationship is key. JoJo Siwa, who often comes across as bold, explained that the one thing she preaches and doesn't practice is confidence. However, her partner Jenna Johnson has changed that for her.

Siwa explained that since her time on the show, Johnson has helped her change in the best way possible. Johnson, too, opened up about how she is the closest to Siwa out of all the partnerships she's had. To Johnson, Siwa is like a younger sister, and she feels connected to her. The duo poured all the emotion they had for each other into their performance, as they danced the foxtrot to 'Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee (Reprise)'.
