Howard intends to compete in Dancing with the Stars season 33 to demonstrate his rhythm and ability. Given his 6-foot-10 size, the 38-year-old had modest hopes. Nonetheless, he appeared quite comfortable in the ballroom as well surprised and thrilled the audience with his initial performance. On Tuesday night, Howard and partner Daniella Karagach wowed the judges with a salsa performance to Montell Jordan‘s ‘This Is How We Do It.’
Fans from all around the world chimed in to heap praise on Howard. One fan in particular wrote, “He killed it ngl,” regarding Howard’s wonderful debut performance. In addition, Howard possessed exceptional mobility and intuition, as well as an abundance of energy and confidence.
