Kan Abril 2016, kinompirma ni Washington na, kan 1990s sa New York, nakanuod siya magbayli kay Jennifer Lopez. Sa saiyang pagluwas sa pasali na The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, sinabi niya sa tagapagpamidbid na si Jimmy Fallon na "I've been taking dance for a long time, since I was a little girl. I had this very inspiring teacher named Larry Maldonado, for anybody from my neighborhood in The Bronx, he was our role model", sabi pa niya na, "And he had an awesome substitute teacher named Jennifer, who would sometimes step in and teach. But, then she left to move to Los Angeles and be on the TV show In Living Color. So, yes, I learned to dance from JLo!" [1][2]
