JoJo Siwa to make history with same-sex partner on Dancing with the Stars
27 August 2021
JoJo Siwa is making history with her casting on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars.
After sharing the news of her participation in the 30th season of the dancing competition show, the 18-year-old dancer and singer told USA Today that she will be competing with a same-sex partner.
Siwa, who came out as a member of the LGBTQ community in January, revealed producers gave her the option to participate with a female dancer. The Boomerang singer said she knows that the move will spark a variety of questions.
"Does one of us dress super feminine?" she suggested. "There are so many crossroads. Which route do we want to go? It's going to be so fun."
While Siwa is excited about breaking down barriers, she knows that many will not respond positively to the pairing.
