A Spectacular Debut

By Romi Schreiber and Cameron Song

Dance Moms alum and Nickelodean star, Jojo Siwa, made history from becoming the first same-sex duo ever in Dancing With the Stars’s last 30 seasons. She recently came out this January as pansexual and has been a significant figure for the LGBTQ+ community ever since. Jojo Siwa told USA Today, “I thought that if I chose to dance with a girl on this show, it would break the stereotypical thing.” Jojo and her partner, Jenna Johnson, danced to “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” by Jet, and received the highest score of the night! It’s safe to say that this debut could not have been better!
