DWTS’ Harry Shum Jr. Defends Dance Experience After Premiere Score

“I was like, ‘Oh, he is a showman,’” she said to Harry. “Because you go full out every single time we rehearse, but the way that you came alive with a full audience in front of you, I was like, ‘That’s my partner right there!’ I was so proud.”
And as Harry and Jenna look to next week and the new dance they need to learn, Harry thankfully has a lifetime of picking up moves on the fly under his belt. 
“When I was growing up, I really loved watching wrestling, like WWE, WWF, and I would just mimic the,” the Grey’s Anatomy actor explained. “I’m not a martial artist, but I would do them at home and just try and get it right. So, mimicry became kind of an entry point.”
