Alyson Hannigan is having a lot of fun on Dancing With the Stars!
The 49-year-old actress has made it past the first two weeks of the reality competition, dancing alongside her pro partner Sasha Farber.

I’m going to do it. I’m doing it mainly because it terrifies me, and it has just been the best thing that I said yes to, honestly. It’s just been so
