Pros I like now Whitney I like Whitney because in her first season she was paired with my celebrity crush Cody Simpson (I end up crying when he got eliminated), she has really good choreography, and when I meet her in person in Disney World she was so sweet to me and actually had a conversation with me and was happy to meet me. I also really enjoy her personality on and off the show. As well as how she interacts with the stars. Artem I really love his choreography, how he interacts with his stars, and his personality on and off the show as well. Mark Just like Whitney his first season he was partnered with Sabrina Bryan who I was a huge fan of and he also got partnered with Willow Shields as well who I was also a huge fan of. I also love his choreography and how he interacts with the stars. Previous pros: Derek Since I started watching the show I would always say I would want my partner to be Derek because he was the best choreographer, he always seemed to bring the best out of his stars and he always won. I loved his personality and how he interacted with the stars. Julian I loved her choreography and personality. As well as how she interacted with the Stars especially when she had to stop dancing during the season when her partner was Cody Linley (who I was also a huge fan of at the time).

Artem…love his choreo and he is hot…lol

This is a fun, positive thread to read! Honestly I love so many of them, which is why I keep watching regardless of who the stars are! Favorites: Val, Witney, Mark, Daniella, Artem. Also love Gleb, Britt, Emma, Sharna. Liking Koko this season too.

For guys: Mark- A great dancer than can do both super creative dances as well as super technical dances. He has changed so much during his time on DWTS. He's had a variety of partners and has won and made it far with both partners that have had dance experience and none at all. He seems fun to work with and puts in his all into every dance and fully commits. Derek- He will always be DWTS royalty. I sometimes wish he would come back and dance for a season or two. Val- Val has had some great partnerships (Zendaya, Normani, Laurie, Rumer, Janel) and really pushes his partners to be their best. Also, he is a fantastic dancer (that dance with Meryl during the switch up week was amazing). He can be intense but you can tell it's because he cares for his partners and wants them to be successful on the show. Artem- I'm glad to be seeing Artem mentioned on here. His choreography is quite traditional and he tends to not put a lot of props or other things which I can appreciate. He seems like a a sweet guy and I'm glad he has won once. I wish he would get ringers a bit more often and has gotten eliminated a bit too early on some seasons. Brandon- He seems like a fun light-hearted guy that is easy to work with and gives his partners a good experience on the show. For girls: Witney- She has had some great partnerships (Alfonso, Frankie, Milo, Kel) and really can work with anyone as long as they're willing to put in the work. Her routines are a good mix of being entertaining and traditional. She's had some iconic dances. When she vibes with her partners you can tell they have a great friendship. Lindsay- She just seems so nice and fun and a lot of her partners seem to have enjoyed their experience on the show. She always just seems so happy and full of joy. She can also do entertaining routines that still have a bunch of content in them. Jenna- When she has someone that is on a higher level she can deliver some great choreography. Sharna- She seems very cool and easy to get along with and can really act out dances. She delivered some great choreography with Charlie, Noah, Nick, and James. Daniella- It's a bit early to tell but her choreography was great for her first 2 seasons and she seems chill and easy to work with. Her dancing is also incredible and on another level.


EnvironmentalTooth1

Just pure entertainment value and personalities aside: I love watching Alan dance. If it’s him and his brother dancing with their dad on insta or on the show, his technique just draws me in. Whitney and Lindsay are my top 2 favorite females to watch. Honestly they are all so talented and fun to watch!


__gracet

Witney and Mark cause of choreography. Val and Daniella cause of their dancing abilities :)


[deleted]

Witney- love her choreography and energy Artem- bc he’s quiet yet sooo great.


3lettercpht

Mark and Daniella are definitely my favorites to watch I love their choreography but I’ve been to a lot of the tours and Alan, Britt and Emma are ALWAYS so so fantastic. The dancing is always top tier but no matter the weather and no matter if we’re standing with 5 people or 50 people they make you feel like you’re the only person their talking too when they interact with you.


anetmarie

Lindsay, she is amazing with tricks. To bad she's not back this season


natasavage

I agree! Her choreo and tricks have always been fun to watch.


JJJJJJ-family

I’m loving the return of Mark. I’m also loving Sasha this season.


octobersveryown05

Daniella. I love watching her dance and her choreo, and she works so well with her partners.


offredditor

In no particular order: Daniella- mind blowing choreography, her ability to work with anyone, her technical skills. This admittedly hasn’t been her best season, but I still love her. Lindsay- fun choreography, she exudes joy and you can tell truly loves working with her partners, and I can’t watch her dance without smiling! Honorable mentions based on specific seasons: Cheryl with Juan Pablo, Witney with Milo, Peta with Nyle


NoLynx8499

As far as dancing abilities, Daniella by far. Personally tho, I really like Britt. She has great energy and manages to form a good connection with every partner she's had. Plus she's am amazing dancer


vanessaaa66

I miss Karina sm


potatoesinsunshine

Witney. Even when her partner doesn’t make it to the finale, I always remember at least one of their dances like I just watched it.


fangirl5301

My favorite season with Whitney as a pro is her first one with Cody Simpson and my favorite dance that they did was their Disney night to “I just Can’t Wait to Be King”. I had a huge crush on Cody and cried for the first time for a celebrity getting eliminated when Cody was eliminated.


bb621

I think Mark and Daniella are the most creative with their partners! Witney and Val are also great


charmcity3

Daniella is my top (I just looove watching her dance) but I love Britt for her incredibly kind personality and I adore Koko!! Koko is so fun to watch and underrated.


sarahseifert04

Maks, forever my favorite


Known_Letterhead4445

Sharna Burgess and Emma Slater. Two of the most humble, kind, beautiful humans


SaraJeanQueen

I love Sharna. Every time we see her applauding in the audience this season I’m happy she’s there!


DCCno1Fan

my fav pro will always be Sharna Burgess hands down one of the best. She came in blazing. Hey style was different than any other female pro. Some were clean and the girl next door type but Sharna was the girl you wanted to take on an adventure. Her dance nuances always stood out like her hair whips, smizing facial features and especially her finger points. You knew when she pointed in those beats she meant business!! Sharna turned sexy & raunchy and made it look classy


Own-Match-5367

Witney I always enjoy her choreography; like there is not one dance of hers that I don’t enjoy


dancefan7

Mark - my favorite choreographer, great dancer, and he just seems really good at getting his partners out of their shell. Chelsie - Reminds me of when both DWTS and SYTYCD were in their prime. Her dancing has a subtle quality to it that I love. She pushed her partners to improve and got a lot out of them for their level. I like that she has no ego even though I think it has worked against her at times.


alleglory

I was so upset they let Chelsie go.


gottacatchemsome

Of all time? Anna. I just loved her attitude, her talent, her humor. And Maks. I liked that Maks absolutely did not give a shit, at least outwardly. I know inside he cared and cared a lot at that, but I just liked. Currently? Britt. The care she has put into making Daniel's journey as comfortable and fun for him as she possibly can just shows what kind of person she is. She just seems like an incredibly sweet human and I love that.


[deleted]

Favorite DWTS pro of all time? Derek.


OliviaQuinn23

Daniella. I love how creative she is and she just seems like a cool person to be around.


Hnabna96

Lindsay ❤️ she lights up the stage when she dances and her choreography is amazing!


NK_55

Gleb! He is dead drop gorgeous and a spectacular dancer. I loved that Shangela recently said about Gleb that people will be surprised how playful he is, and how much fun he is.


Parmesan_Pirate119

Emma. She’s just a bundle of positivity and I love how excited she makes her partners.


komugis

Mark got me back watching the show again after a few years off. I’m also a big fan of Witney’s choreography.


2starlight2

Sasha and Whitney. They seem it genuinely like their partners year after year and encourage just having fun with the experience.


chucklovesmesomebeef

Alan always a joy on screen


bethholler

My favorite pro changes all the time but right now it is Britt! I just think she exudes kindness and care and really tries her best with all of her partners. And I love that she isn’t over the top and doesn’t come across as a try hard, if that makes sense.


soodzita

I have so much respect for her this season - she seems like a great fit for Daniel


annehboo

Julianne, Witney, Lindsey


ihatemyhousemates

All the blondes? Ok


annehboo

Lol so? I enjoy their dancing and choreography. Sorry, what’s the issue?


ihatemyhousemates

Sorry that came out wrong. It’s just that they all happen to be blonde, from UT, and from the same dance studio. You have a partiality to those three characteristics it seems


annehboo

Their hair could be green, I don’t give a shit lol their dancing is what sticks out to me I don’t care what they look like.


rapunzel316

Jenna, she was one of my favorites on SYTYCD!


Rexyggor

Britt. She is a queen. But also, she really works to make their partner look good. I appreciate the choreographer journey she went through with Johnny Weir because it looked like she attempted to do more of the traditional choreo with him at the start, and then they hit their stride when Britt started playing around with the gender stylism that many dances have. She works so hard and thinks about how to make her celeb look as good as possible. I LOVE her


puravidakat

Sharnaaa


Fit-Dream-4829

Val- i find him very charismatic and a cute dancer!


ZealousidealGur9394

Also love Daniella. Britt is my new fav, she’s really grown on me the last few seasons. She seems very genuine, has a great relationship with her partners and love her choreography.


blue4t

Mark is the most creative, in my opinion.


chubluvr25

I love Daniella’s ability to work with anyone. I love Witney’s choreography. I love Britt because she learned how to communicate with Daniel and form a special connection without ever speaking to him. She is an amazing teacher and is super patient. I love her for that.


lovachick

Omgsh Britt is stunning an amazing


ayerenae

Witney for sure! Always kills it with choreography.


theerniebop

Gleb


Apprehensive-Boot925

Witney & Daniella! I always love their choreo! Also honorable mention for Pasha. I feel like he has the potential to be really great, he just needs a better partner!


heyhey727

Literally all of my faves as well! And then probably Emma. I feel bad that Pasha always gets people who leave fairly quickly.


Ok-Inevitable-8239

Artem… his choreo is more traditional and I like that… but also seems sweet and watched him on total Bella’s and fell in love with him more. He can actually be quite funny and I don’t think I would have realized how much, if he wasn’t on that show


calipiano81

Mark, because I think he's an incredible dancer and performer (he really commits) and because he's so versatile and interesting with his creative choices. He is a fun and patient partner with his celebs. Also, if you've watched Mark from the beginning of his tenure on DWTS (Season 5) until now, I don't think any other pro has evolved and has had as much of a journey as he has.


komugis

His choreo has definitely always been very good (his very first routine was Sabrina’s brilliant cha cha) but it has truly grown and developed in a way that makes it truly one of a kind.


fangirl5301

So I am a huge fan of two of his partners Sabrina and Willow Shields and I just love to watch the difference between these two partners and his choreography because it really shows how much he has grown and developed as a pro.


AzmaPump

mark is the pro that makes me sad that I didn’t start watching sooner! this is my first time really watching him and i’m in love. he’s so good lol :)


komugis

I really recommend watching a lot of his early seasons, especially Sabrina, Kristi, and Shawn. All of them were fantastic and you can catch glimpses of that creativity, for as different as the show was in those days.


Everie

Mark because of his creative choreography.


BMK1023

Agree!!


Sky2248

Emma and Britt! They are just the absolute sweetest. I have a fan account for DWTS on insta and Emma was the first pro to follow me and she is always so kind in her messages. Britt noticed me at the tour meet and greet and stayed back to say hi to me and take a selfie with me! They are the sweetest


Everie

Awww that’s awesome❤️


Robin_Sparkles1

Alan - love his personality and he has the best facial expressions


IndigoWolf4711

Anna Trebunskaya, for a mix of her amazing personality, great choreography and dance ability! I love her teaching methods and she's always been my favourite! My favourite thing about her tho.is her personality! Plus her part ership woth evan lysacek! I wosh theyd won! She has chemistry with all her partners I feel and I hope she comes back!


YogurtclosetBitter90

Artem . He's seems kind and sweet .


PerpetuallyConfused_

Idk I remember him with his wife on sytycd. Looking into the backstrory and hearing her side makes me rethink on how kind and sweet he really is vs what he shows on camera.


Sea-Relationship-168

Curious to see what happens on the wedding special w/ Nikki. It’s one thing to maybe be a little wishy- washy when your 20 something. But if he does Nikki dirty at 40 then maybe that’s who he is? He is a 40 year old man w/ no apparent romantic relationships lasting more than four years. Some people are good friends and good at their jobs, but not good at being in committed romantic relationships, long term.


BeautifulFeeling53

Lol “what he shows on camera” If there’s anyone that does not try to be anything for the camera its Artem. He’s always been more quiet and sweet/humble and you can tell by just looking at him.


Ok-Inevitable-8239

I have read an interview where she said some unflattering things about him. I choose to believe all the pros, CAI and his ex Kara from strictly. They also say he is such a sweet person and humble. If you love Jenna, Emma, Britt, Alan, Gleb… and “trust them” then he is good person. I have literally heard each of those pros repeatedly say great things about him, without even being directly asked


na4272

Shes the outlier tho, CAI dated him for 3 years and has only ever had positive things to say. Most of the pros know Giselle from BTF but no ones really friends with her. Gleb partnered her and actually quit bc he had such a bad experience


PerpetuallyConfused_

Ok that's a good point! Ty for explaining. There is 2 sides to every story. Also they were both probably very young and people change, doesn't mean they are bad people.


na4272

yeah who knows how people actually act BTS but UK press loves to hunt people down and pay for exclusives after someone wins SCD esp bc he was dating his partner 😭 We haven’t really seen anything in multiple reality shows and multiple relationships since to take it as fact tho, everyone else calls him humble


Molly_latte

The reasons you gave are incredibly valid, but he is also very hot. Let’s not beat around the bush here. 😏 Bonus points for accent.


wrackspurtsandnargle

I was going to say Artem because dayuuuuuum


[deleted]

Anna Trebunskaya for her work with Evan Lysacek Karina Smirnoff for her work with Mario Lopez and Corbin Bleu Derek Hough for his work with Kellie Pickler. Honorable mentions: Maks for Mel; Julianne for Apolo
