Jason Mraz is fully committed to his rigorous training for Dancing With the Stars, an experience unlike anything he has previously encountered. In a TikTok video shared on Saturday, October 7, Mraz, 46, expressed his sentiments while rehearsing with his professional partner Daniella Karagach, stating, "This show is undeniably the most challenging endeavor I have undertaken. There are no breaks. I am continually pushing my physical limits."
He stated, "And I'm about to review it."
In the video, the Grammy winner and Karagach, who is 30 years old, flawlessly rehearsed a section of their jive routine for the live show on Tuesday, October 10th. According to a press release from DWTS, the pair will perform to The Contours' "Do You Love Me" for Motown Night.
Mraz is emerging as a top contender on season 32 of the ballroom competition. His performance during Latin Night last week earned him a score of 24 out of 30, with judge Bruno Tonioli praising him as a contestant to keep an eye on. Speaking exclusively to We on Tuesday, October 2, Mraz expressed his gratitude for the positive feedback from the judges, but admitted that it also adds to his nerves.

Karagach added, "Not only does it demonstrate your dedication and effectiveness, but it also shows that you are putting in a great deal of effort!"
Although Mraz is now seeing success in his dance performances, participating in the competition wasn't initially his aspiration.
In September, he shared that although he hadn't been eager to do it for a long time, he found pleasure in writing music for dance because he enjoyed watching people dance. He felt that in order to truly delve into this field of songwriting, he had to explore dance extensively. As a result, he had many wonderful experiences throughout the year and believed that this upcoming experience would be his best one yet.
In a lighthearted moment, Mraz mentioned that Karagach, who had previously won DWTS season 30 with Iman Shumpert, had already started pushing him to do daring things. He jokingly expressed his apprehension, saying, "I might be scared of getting hurt!"
Karagach, for her part, was elated when she found out that she would be dancing with Mraz.

"I was definitely taken aback. My husband Pasha and I used to listen to Jason's music on our lengthy road trips," the professional dancer, who tied the knot with Pashkov in 2014, shared with Us last month. "We would listen to his albums, so when I found out, I was thrilled. But Pasha was even more ecstatic, which was wonderful."
