Savannah Bananas star Jackson Olson recently responded to claims that he will have an “unfair advantage” on Season 35 of Dancing with the Stars. Olson dances as part of the entertainment baseball team.
DWTS Contestant Jackson Olson Addresses ‘Unfair Advantage’
In May, it was reported that Savannah Bananas second baseman Jackson Olson is one of the celebrities who will be competing on Season 35 of DWTS later this year. As part of the Savannah Bananas, Olson frequently participates in dance routines with his fellow players.
In a recent Instagram post, Olson addressed claims that this dance experience might give him an “unfair advantage” on DWTS. The 28-year-old countered this suggestion by sharing a compilation of clips in which he can be seen dancing.
The implication is that Olson’s dancing skills aren’t particularly impressive. As he wrote in the post’s caption, “Yeah so the first rehearsal will be interesting.” It’s not yet known which pro dancer Olson will be paired with, but hopefully they can help him hone his skills as he steps into the ballroom.
