Jenn Tran will forever cherish her time in the ballroom.
The former “Bachelorette” reflected on her “Dancing With the Stars” journey — and “sad” elimination — while exclusively chatting with Page Six after Tuesday night’s “Halloween Nightmares” episode.
“It’s a whirlwind of emotions,” she explained. “I’m obviously sad to see that it’s over but I’ve made such incredible memories here and made such an incredible family here.”
Despite the disappointment of being sent home, Tran said she is “really proud” of herself and her pro partner, Sasha Farber, for everything they “accomplished.”
“I never thought that I could dance, let alone go on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ to learn how to dance, so it’s honestly been a dream,” she added. “And I’m just so grateful that I had the experience that I’ve had.”
Tran, 26, noted that her experience “wouldn’t have been the same” if she was paired with “anybody but” Farber, who described the reality TV star as a “bundle of joy.”
The professional dancer, 40, reflected on his first time meeting Tran, telling us they “connected real quick.”
“We’ve just had so much fun,” he said of their time together.
As for the pair’s next chapter, Tran said she would love to continue dancing in some capacity — which Farber fully supports.
“Broadway! She should do …’Chicago,’” he told us. “You could easily do ‘Chicago.’”
Although the Bachelor Nation star questioned if the theater scene would “want” her, she said she would totally be down for the challenge.
“I would [do it]! Are you kidding me?” she said. “That would actually be an absolute dream.”
However, after hearing Tran’s singing voice, Farber joked that she might have a better shot “Off-Broadway.”
Despite her partner’s jokes, the reality TV star said she would be honored to work on any Broadway show — but admitted that “Aladdin” would “be crazy fun.”
“I grew up wanting to do performance. I was a theater kid, but like, I was always like Oompa Loompa No. 10,” she joked.
“It’s been incredible to build that confidence and get to where I am today. So if you’re Oompa Loompa No. 10, you could be me one day!”
Farber and Tran were sent home after performing a contemporary routine to “Vampire” by Olivia Rodrigo. Despite earning 28/30 from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli, the pair didn’t receive enough fan votes to keep them in the competition.
However, it wasn’t the last time the two will step on the dancefloor. The pair teased to Page Six that they will be back for one final number during the Season 33 finale.
“One last dance, baby!” Tran said.
The remaining contestants will get a break next week as there is no show on Nov. 5 due to Election Day. “Dancing With the Stars” will return Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+.
