Elaine Hendrix recently got candid and revealed what her journey is Dancing with the stars taught her.
During a conversation with PEOPLE magazine at the 24 Hour Plays Gala, the 54-year-old American actress and dancer talked about the lessons she learned during the ABC hit reality show.
Hendrix said, “I learned so many lessons. Two in particular immediately caught my eye. Number one was exactly what I’m capable of.”
She added, “I had high expectations for myself and I blew them out of the water. To really believe in yourself when you have a dream… I gave every ounce of my heart and soul to it, and it was worth it.”
The Even crazier Friday star went on to talk about the second lesson, which consisted of “learning to receive so much love and support” from people around her.
Hendrix “literally got the country rooting for me, especially when I went to the hospital and I was afraid I was going to be voted out because I was hurt, but that wasn’t the case.”
“Then Alan [Bersten] and I reached the final. To receive so much love and support is both overwhelming and incredibly beautiful,” she noted.
For those who don’t know, Elaine Hendrix competed on season 34 of Dancing with the stars.
