"Dewan’s Instagram tribute included older and recent photos, among them Nancy with grandchildren and Dewan as a child. It precedes Dedication Night, when Dewan dances with Alan Bersten because Val Chmerkovskiy is suspended one week. That suspension followed remarks seemingly aimed at judge Carrie Ann Inaba, who had a tense exchange with Chmerkovskiy’s wife, Jenna Johnson. Dewan has not directly addressed it."

Context

[paragraph] Need maybe "EXPANDED:" then two paragraphs. They said 2 short paragraphs under 120 words total. We can put blank line between paragraphs. That's okay. Need exactly labeled sections. No markdown? Plain text. We can use labels. Ensure no source phrasing copied. Some phrases like "Dedication Night", "Dancing with the Stars", names are unavoidable. "biggest cheerleader" is source phrase? The article says "my biggest cheerleader." We used "her biggest cheerleader" maybe copying source phrasing? They said never copying source phrasing. Better paraphrase: "a devoted supporter" instead of biggest cheerleader. Also "kindness, grace, strength without losing softness" source has "To lead with kindness. To give people grace. To be strong without losing your softness." We paraphrased but "kindness, grace, and strength without losing softness" close. Could rephrase: "Nancy modeled compassion, patience, and resilience paired with tenderness." But must be drawn from material. "compassion"
