Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber Share Insights on Forehead Kiss During DWTS Disney Night

Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber took a unique approach during their performance on Dancing With the Stars’ Disney Night, aiming for an authentic representation of The Little Mermaid. After the airing of the October 22 episode, Jenn spoke exclusively to Us Weekly, explaining their choice not to include a kiss at the end of their routine. “We wanted to honor the movie and keep it true to what happens,” she stated, highlighting their commitment to accurately depicting the beloved story.

The duo danced to the classic “Kiss the Girl,” culminating in a forehead kiss instead of a traditional romantic one. Their choice drew playful criticism from the judges, particularly Derek Hough, who expressed his support for the couple, saying he “ships” them. “They don’t kiss at the end,” Jenn reiterated, referencing the film’s characters, Princess Ariel and Prince Eric. Sasha further emphasized their desire to maintain an elegant presentation throughout their performance.

The couple’s chemistry on the dance floor has been met with praise. Jenn noted, “Sasha has been an incredible coach, and each week we grow closer and better.” Their dynamic was in full view during this routine, with both dancers appearing to enjoy their performance. In response to Hough’s comment about their on-screen romance, Sasha humorously diverted attention, saying he supports Hough and his wife, Hayley Erbert.

Jenn and Sasha had a special evening not only for their dance but also due to the presence of friends on the show. Jenn enjoyed working with fellow Bachelor Nation member Joey Graziadei, stating that it was a joy to share the stage with him. “We have a great bond, which makes it even more fun to work together,” she shared, reflecting on their friendship outside of the competition.

Disney Night is a long-standing favorite on DWTS, and this season’s episode did not disappoint, showcasing memorable performances from all contestants. As the competition continues, fans are eager to see how Jenn and Sasha’s journey unfolds in the coming weeks.
