She and Pashkov will dance the jive to the Boy Meets World theme song by Twenty Cent Crush featuring Phil Rosenthal.
Fishel shared, “I feel such an overwhelming responsibility to give a full-out, joyous, celebratory dance to the man who is responsible for THOUSANDS of people becoming teachers and who has helped raise multiple generations.”
She continued using Daniels’ nickname “Bill,” This dance is a dedication from me to Bill, but I am representing ALL OF YOU who loved and appreciated him and his career for so many decades.
Fishel first shared the news of her plans for Dedication night during the Oct. 8 episode of her podcast, Danielle with the Stars, revealing that “None other than Mr. Bill Daniels” would be joining her in the ballroom for the show.
