Jada has been in motion lately on Days of our Lives, circling Stephanie’s situation with the kind of focus that suggests she already knows the answer is ugly and close. After the capture and subsequent escape of several DiMera family members, Jada has had her hands very full as the Salem police commissioner. As Jada pushes forward, her portrayer, Elia Cantu, had a very different way of channeling her energy and shared it with the fans.
Key Takeaways
- Elia Cantu shared a video of herself training with a dance coach on Instagram.
- She wrote that she was feeling inspired and openly invited Dancing With the Stars to consider her.
- The video showed Cantu rehearsing casually with an instructor rather than a polished performance.
- Fans responded enthusiastically, encouraging her to join DWTS and praising her dancing.
A New Year, New Steps
Cantu wrote on Instagram: “New year, new challenges, new dreams! 💃🏽✨ Training with @alejandrosol_salsa_academy & feeling inspired! @dancingwiththestars I’m ready when you are. Should we make this a reality? ❤️🪩 #dancingwiththestars #eliacantu #actor #days. Could you see me on #DWTS?”
The video matched the tone. No slick montage, no overworked edits. Just Cantu in rehearsal, following her instructor’s lead, resetting her footing, laughing at herself, then locking back in as the song “Bad Bunny” played underneath.
People enjoyed the video, as one fan simply wrote, “Looking amazing 💕💕💕,” while another jumped straight to the point with, “Yes!🙌👏🔥 please do that show 😍.” A different follower sounded already convinced, saying, “Dancing With The Stars, here you come!”
When Fans Start Casting Along
The comments continued: “Yesss Elia!💃🏾 You’d be amazing on #DWTS! Manifesting this for you!” sat right next to, “You definitely have my vote!” and a hopeful, slightly premature, “Congratulations on DWTS!! I can’t wait to tune in.”
There was nostalgia tucked in there, too. One viewer remembered a salsa night years back and wrote, “I’m glad to see that you’re picking up salsa again. You’re awesome.” Another kept it simpler and warmer: “Love this❤️🔥👏👏👏.”
Cantu didn’t promise anything. She just asked the question, let her dance moves speak, and stepped out of the way. Much like Jada lately, she trusted that if you stay active, stay present, and don’t overplay your hand, the right eyes tend to find you.
