Jenna Dewan says daughter Everly shares her love for dance.
The 36-year-old "World of Dance" host said on Thursday's episode of "Late Night" with Seth Meyers that Everly, her 4-year-old daughter with husband Channing Tatum, is "into" dancing after initially refusing to take classes.
"[She didn't love it] at first," Dewan told host Seth Meyers.
"She was like, 'I'm not taking a dance class.' I was like, 'Okay, I'm not going to be a dance mom.' I don't want to be the one that's like, 'No, you have to go,' all pushy."
"Then the first day, she goes, 'I want to go to dance class.' I was like, 'Let's go!'" she said.
"I organized the troops. I was like, 'Get the tights, I need the shoes, I want the bag, let's go!' She was into it."
"They do a routine to MC Hammer['s song] 'Can't Touch This,'" the star added with a laugh. "It's so good."
Dewan, a dancer and actress, met Tatum on the set of the 2006 dance movie "Step Up."
She said in an interview with Yahoo! Beauty in 2016 that having Everly helped her stop struggling for perfection as a dancer.

"The little things, like not winning a competition or something not going the way I wanted it to go -- I would beat myself up," the star confessed.
"It would be like a negative spiral, where I was so down on myself."
"For me, having Everly changed everything for me," she said. "She's my everything. That's my first thought now: 'How would I want Everly to see me react to this?' That's truly been the easiest thing to get me out of ruts."
"World of Dance" premieres May 30 on NBC.
