Dancing With the Stars viewers have been rooting for Britt Stewart to win the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy in the years since she has become a pro.
Stewart was introduced to dance as a child and she followed the passion into adulthood. After attending Artistic Fusion Dance Academy and studying dance styles at the Denver School of the Arts, Stewart also majored in dance at Loyola Marymount University.
She showed off her moves in a variety of shows and movies including the High School Musical films, Fame, No Strings Attached and Teen Beach Movie. Stewart was also on American Idol, Bunheads, Gilmore Girls, Glee, Grey’s Anatomy and The Voice. Professionally, Stewart went on tour with Janet Jackson, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Nick Jonas and more.
After being recruited for Dancing With the Stars in 2016, Stewart scored a spot on the troupe. She remained part of the group until season 28. From there, Stewart became the first Black female pro in DWTS history. She has come close to winning the show on multiple occasions but fans have been left frustrated after Stewart was paired up multiple times with the oldest celebrity contestants.
Rumors subsequently spread that both Stewart and Emma Slater get paired with celebrities that aren’t expected to make it far so the pros can focus on preparing the DWTS tour. In response, the duo posted a TikTok in 2025 answering burning questions such as, “Do Britt & I choreograph and prep the DWTS tour?”
“No! (This is a rumor!),” they replied.
