According to Screen Rant, the most successful pro dancers on “Dancing With the Stars” are great teachers who foster strong connections with their partners. This is also what makes them viewers’ favorite dancers to watch, and many fans have taken to Reddit to share their feelings. (Some of the members on this list may even surprise you!) Lindsay Arnold, who won a Mirror Ball Trophy with partner Jordan Fisher in Season 25, ranks among the top ten favorites. Both Sharna Burgess, who was crowned champion in Season 27 with partner Bobby Jones, and Alan Bersten, who won Season 28 with Hannah Brown, also made the list.
Per Screen Rant, Val Chmerkovskiy, who has taken home two championships with partners Laurie Hernandez and Rumer Willis, is another one of viewers’ favorite dancers. Former pros Karina Smirnoff and Mark Ballas, who danced in the early years of the show, also ranked highly — but at the end of the day, it was dancing siblings Julianne and Derek Hough who nabbed the top spot as viewers’ favorite pros on “DWTS.” One Reddit user called Derek “one of the best teachers on ‘DWTS,'” while another wrote that Julianne “will always be my all-time favorite pro.” In fact, fans love Derek and Julianne so much that they’ve also held seats at the judges’ panel following their exits from the show.
