On the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Season 30 premiere, JoJo Siwa and pro partner Jenna Johnson performed the show’s first same-sex dance — and earned the highest score.
Celebrity Olympian Suni Lee and singer Melanie C also added some spice to the Season 30 premiere. Not only did teen sensation JoJo Siwa break ground on Dancing with the Stars, she also walked away with the highest score of Season 30’s premiere night on Sept.20. Siwa and her pro partner Jenna Johnson performed the show’s first ever same-sex dance, and the judges were in complete awe of their history-making routine (and Siwa’s girlfriend Kylie Prew likely was too). In a video before their quickstep routine,18-year-old Siwa was elated to find out that So You Think You Can Dance alum Johnson would be her partner for the season, not only ensuring groundbreaking LGBTQ+ representation on the dance floor, but also that Siwa would be challenged like she never has before.
