On Oct. 7, 2017, the Witches of East End star posted a snap to Instagram of a group of Jackson's former dancers from multiple tours.

The following day, the group of elite dancers — whom Jackson lovingly calls her "kids" — joined her on stage during her show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, where she introduced each of them by name.
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in May earlier that year, Dewan opened up about her relationship with Jackson, answering a fan question about whether or not she's still in touch with her.
"I'm not really in touch with Janet, but when I see her — we've seen each other at various parties or we actually emailed a little while ago," she explained.
Added Dewan: "I kind of owe everything to Janet. She was my dream job, she was my first big dance job and because of her, I met certain people who then led me to others, then led to acting then led to here."
