Jordan Chiles opened up about her emotional TikTok night performance

Jordan Chiles has always been vocal about the significance of mental health, especially as an athlete, and she did not fall short in expressing the same in her TikTok night dance at DWTS.

Following the performance about anxiety, the gymnast made her feelings known about the emotional moment during a conversation with Extra TV.

“I think the emotions really came out of the fact that I was able to express my anxiety through a dance that not only was it able to really uplift a lot of people, but just to understand that you can be strong and you can still be passionate about everything that you're doing in life and that you're not alone. So, it was really cool just to be able to finally just let loose and let my body tell its story how it needs to be told," said Jordan Chiles.

Jordan Chiles got real about dealing with tough schedules amid DWTS and focusing on her mental health conditions.
