Skai Jackson Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Skai Jackson wowed the judges on the dance floor on week four of Dancing With The Stars on Monday night (October 5).

The 18-year-old actress dedicated her Foxtrot with Alan Bersten to the late Cameron Boyce. They danced to John Legend‘s “Ordinary People.”

“I want this dance to be dedicated to Cameron, who was a really close friend of mine and co-star,” she said ahead of her performance. “He was in my life for half of my life, which was crazy. We built up this bond for years and years and years.”

“He molded me into the person I am now. Of course I miss him every day, but I have him on my phone case so I get to see him,” Skai added. “It’s sad he’s not here to see it… I know that he would be really proud of me. He loved Dancing With the Stars and dancing.”

Skai and Alan‘s dance even earned them the first 10 of the season, with a total of 28/30 for their performance!

Before the Dancing With The Stars season started airing, Skai shared with fans that Cameron was actually a big reason as to why she decided to do the show.

Skai Jackson is sharing an important message on Wednesday morning (September 30) in Los Angeles.

The 18-year-old was on her way to dance practice for Dancing With The Stars and her t-shirt said it all.

“Go Vote,” her shirt read, with a hand showing a peace sign for the “V”. She also showed off her phone case, which is a photo of her and her late co-star Cameron Boyce.

Earlier in the week, Skai took the DWTS stage to perform her third dance on the show, a jive to “Almost There” from The Princess and the Frog.

The week before, she had a little mishap during her dance and opened up about it afterwards.

“It was a little bit nerve wracking, but I’m just really excited that we got saved,” she told ET. “I was always taught that if something like that does happen, you keep going, you don’t give up. And that was what was going on in my head.”

Be sure to tune in to Dancing With The Stars next Monday (October 5) to watch her next dance!

Skai recently opened up about dancing and bringing the energy on the dance floor.

“I feel like when you’re dancing, especially how we’re doing it on live television, you need to give that energy to the camera which is mainly with your face,” she told EW. “You can be doing the dance moves 100% but if your face looks confused it might ruin the dance. That’s something that me and my dance partner have been working on a lot — serving face with confidence and with that energy that people can read on-screen and off-screen.”

Skai Jackson wore some cool pants while arriving for Dancing With The Stars rehearsals on Saturday (September 12) in Los Angeles.
