About this video

Young Hollywood heads to her rehearsal space where we sit down with her to reflect on her whirlwind year and all the happy (and perhaps not-so happy) happenstances that led her to where she is today. As we make our way into the dance studio, we pick her brain for advice about some common dating dilemmas, like falling for a friend or being ghosted. Then Hannah switches on to "Hannah Beast" Mode as we catch up with her pro partner Alan Bersten, who sings Hannah's praises and teaches us some moves!

Young Hollywood

Hey guys, Young Hollywood is hanging out with the Bachelorette, the Dancing With The Stars star, Miss Hannah Brown. Hello, my friends. Hello. The sign above you says Dancing With The Stars. Your latest endeavor.

Hannah Brown

I know. It's been really fun.

Young Hollywood

Let's talk about it. Life from here to there. Who would have thunk?

Hannah Brown

Not me. Not at all. I am It's so funny, we'll be like in practice for the show and they'll be like, "Alright, celebs get on the stage" and I will literally just be hanging out. I'm like, "Oh, okay. You're talking about me." Cool. Um, so it's just been really surreal, but God, I'm so thankful.

Young Hollywood

Obviously, your popularity has skyrocketed. What do you want to say to your fans and the people out there that maybe kind of maybe want to be in your shoes?

Hannah Brown

Oh my God. Um, well, I'm just really thankful for all the support that I've had through each endeavor that I've had this this year. And um, I don't know. I think for me, I just said yes to opportunities that came to me. I never dreamed that this would be the way that I would be here. And I think it's not like planning. I think um, so many of the wonderful things in life that I've had were unplanned. And um, you know, I thought my plans were great, but this has been better. And I think that's something that I would really tell people that, you know, obviously, the way that I got here is very different and unconventional and I wouldn't suggest just going on The Bachelor so you can be on Dancing With The Stars, but that was never my intentions either. And what I wanted, I didn't get. That was the plan. You know, like the plan was to get married, have this successful relationship and that's not what I got, but what I got was something so much better for me right now. I feel like. And I think that's something that no matter where you are in life, what you're doing, that can be very relatable that sometimes when our plans don't go our way, we have to look think positively about, well, there's a reason they didn't and it might be better for you right now. Um,

Young Hollywood

Oh, they're calling for you, because you're the celeb.

Hannah Brown

Maybe. Yeah. I don't know. We'll see. Um.

Young Hollywood

So what kind of advice would you pass on to people in the dating world? You've kind of been through it all lately. Any advice like, "Hey, I want to date this guy." Or "will he call me back?" Any advice?

Hannah Brown

Don't date multiple people at a time. I'm just saying, especially if you're taking it very seriously, uh your heart gets, you know, people get pieces of your heart. And um, I think that's that's really hard. And you have to be whole first to try to find another whole person so that you can balance each other out when somebody's down. It's I haven't got it exactly right yet, so I'm still working.

Young Hollywood

Well, you know what you have right going. And you you've kind of found a really good dance partner in Alan. He's great. He's here now. Yeah. And we're gonna go crash your rehearsal. I'm wearing what you're wearing to kind of get a little sweat on. Okay. Let's walk. Let's go. Let's do it. Yeah. Okay. Okay, while we go see your dance partner, I want to do a little questionnaire with you about, you know, when people really want to find their partner in life. So what do you do when scenarios, right? So what do you do when you take a screenshot of a conversation with your crush, right? And then you accidentally send it to him?

Hannah Brown

Oh, that's totally happened to me.

Young Hollywood

Wait, stop. Yeah. Tell me the story.

Hannah Brown

You just have to um, so I dated this guy for a long time and saw that he had a new girlfriend and I saw it on Instagram, I mean on Instagram, screenshot it and was trying to send it to my best friend. And I was like, "Did you get it?" And she was like, "No." And I went to look at it and I was like, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh." She's like, "What are you going to do?" I'm like, "I'm just going to be like, well, this is awkward." And that's what I text back. I was like, "Well, this is awkward." I don't think he replied back.

Young Hollywood

Well, we know the outcome because you're single.

Hannah Brown

I'm single and he's still with that girl. But I'm actually he's a great person. Great. All meant to be.

Young Hollywood

What do you do when you have feelings for a friend and you're afraid to ruin the friendship?

Hannah Brown

Um, I think you have to figure out what's the most important thing in your life right now. Do you need more of a friend or are you really seeking that relationship? But you can tell when you're friends and you're flirty friends. Oh, yeah. And that's where you just start to like figure it out, maybe.

Young Hollywood

Okay, last one, as we see the light in the dance studio. What do you do when you get ghosted by someone you really like?

Hannah Brown

Um, well, I guess you just have to move on. I mean, what else are you going to do? You can't go begging. Oh, no. No.

Young Hollywood

You know who we can beg for though? Hey. That guy right over there.

Hannah Brown

Oh my God, you're so weird. Okay, I think we need to go join the man of the hour right now. Yes.

Young Hollywood

How are you? Nice to see you again. Nice to see you again. So tell me everything there is to know about her dancing ability that we haven't seen already.

Alan

We're gonna see a new side of her this week. Oh. A fierce, angry side. Oh. She's known as Hannah Beast.

Hannah Brown

Alan

Yeah. The Beast is getting unleashed this week.

Young Hollywood

Alan

The hard work. You know, she's the hard, the most hard-working partner I've ever seen. And I'm very lucky to have her. You know, she'll stay as long as she needs to get the routine down. Right. So it's a really good trait to have.
