Dylan Efron reacts to fan request for a ‘High School Musical’ tribute on ‘Dancing With the Stars’

Well, first show, you guys blew the audience away. Everyone in the press room was screaming out there for you. Talk to us a little bit more about choosing the song Milkshake. I loved that element. We just wanted to do something that was unexpected cuz it’s my biggest fear is I’ve never performed. I was never in a talent show, so I wanted to go out there and like just own it. And we locked it in before the Gap commercial, like before it was viral on TikTok. And then we started seeing it. We’re just like, “Oh my god, it’s a sign.” like we chose the right song. Absolutely. And talk to us about incorporating all of the Tik Tok in your rehearsals, too. I mean, that’s so fun for you. It’s a full-time job. Now, I’m not only worried about his technique, but now it’s a full-time job of getting all the content out there. So, it’s hard. It’s been hard. Now, last time we talked to you, you told us that you were open to doing maybe another reality TV show after your success on The Traders. So, what ultimately led you to say yes to Dancing with the Stars? Finally, it was a meeting with Dena and they like the way they talked about the show is like and the passion they have for it. It was like I I believed it and it’s been everything they said it was going to be and more. So, I I I’m so happy I took that meeting. Yeah. And before the show started, I saw Boston Rob out here. How awesome was it to have his support? So awesome. Yeah. And Cricelle, my trainers family. No, it meant a lot that they showed up. Yeah. And as Danny knows, a lot of um people who have been on Dancing with the Stars have also done The Traders. Gabby Wendy, Nikki Garcia, Fedra Parks. Have they given you any advice before you stepped out tonight? They all said do it. Like it’s crazy. Everyone that’s done this show says positive things. I I haven’t found one person that says anything else. Denny, how have you been helping him get out of his comfort zone? Cuz you said this is all new for you. So I I know it’s tough. Honestly, he’s just such a good person that it’s been so easy to work with him and he’s so down to do just anything. So, he’s been like the perfect most coachable person. So, it’s it’s fun. It’s a good time. Yeah. And we have a whole new crowd of fans on TikTok. A lot of them have picked up on the fact that there’s an interesting connection with Brit Stewart, who was a dancer in a high school musical. Have you guys had any conversations about potentially paying tribute? Would you even want to do that? We can’t give away anything yet. We’re not giving away anything. How would Zach feel about it? I’m sure he’d be stoked. Amazing. And then lastly, what do you hope to personally get out of this journey? Because from week one to the final week that you make it in and hopefully that’s the finale. There’s such a transformation that we see as she can attest to. What do you hope to personally gain? That’s that’s it. I just want to keep going. I want to keep improving. Like I it’s it’s what I love most in life. So, I want to do this as long as I can and like get as good as I can. That’s Can you dance at weddings and parties? So, yeah. Sorry, I think I miss heard the question. No, that was perfect. And what are your hopes for this season? I just want to see him turn into a dancer, which I already feel like we already did. So, now I think you know what you’re doing now.
