Jenna Dewan says she's not a dance mom when it comes to her daughter Everly. She actually prefers that her little one does her own thing! "It's adorable!" the dancer and actress admitted.
Jenna, who hosts the World of Dance, revealed that the love of dance "is there" in Everly. "She came to my rehearsal and she could not stop," she told Entertainment Tonight's Leanne Aguilera at NBCUniversal's upfront presentation in New York City on Monday. "She was running around the stage, running in the rehearsal room doing her own thing, she wore a tutu."
"She loves to dance. She likes to freestyle more than she likes to follow a routine," Jenna continued. "It's amazing."
But she swears she's not an overbearing dance mom! She wants Everly to march — or dance, rather — to the beat of her own drum.

"It's just so cute when you see the whole class and all the other girls are like following the routine and Evy's in her own corner, feeling it, and I'm like, 'You do that girl! You feel your own rhythm!'" Jenna said. "It's adorable!"
It sounds like Jenna is doing well following her split from ex-husband Channing Tatum. The two recently called it quits after nine years of marriage.
