Jojo Siwa Makes Debut In DWTS With Same-Sex Dance Partner

Jojo Siwa made her historic debut with professional dancer Jenna Johnson in “Dancing With The Stars” as the first same-sex dancing pair on the U.S. version of the show.

The 18-year-old “J Team” star danced a well-applauded quickstep to “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” by Jet with Johnson, 27, in the season 30 premiere of the show Monday night.

Johnson slipped during a part of their dance routine but the pair bounced back and garnered a score of 29 out of 40 from judges who were delighted with their performance.

Judge Bruno Tonioli was quoted by EW as saying, "I'm so high I could hit the rafter" as Siwa and Johnson ended their dance routine as the final performers of the episode.

"This is a whole new ball game for me. I've never done anything ballroom before. It's a learning experience that I'm more than ready for,” Siwa said on Monday's episode.

Siwa took to her Instagram page after the show to rave about the whole experience and in receiving the highest score for the night.

She wrote, “You. Betta. WINK!!! That was THE BEST ever!!!! __ I can’t even believe that week 1 is over!!! @jennajohnson I couldn’t ask for a better partner! Thank you for taking me through this process while making it the most fun ever. The CREW on DWTS is so amazing, the CAST is all so fun! Making history and Top score of the night was literally a dream come true for me. Chase every dream you have and believe in yourself. Know that I love you all and I am smiling so big right now because of you, we did this !!!”

Siwa danced with her signature sparkly bows paired with a neon orange crop top and a pair of glittery purple pants.

Johnson took to the comments section of Siwa’s post and wrote, “I’m so proud of you!!!” and added a string of same-sex couple emojis.

The professional dancer who has been on “Dancing With The Stars” since 2016 also took to her Instagram account and congratulated Jojo for making history in the show.

“History made. JoJo Siwa. There aren’t enough words to express my absolute admiration for you. The moment I met you, I knew that you were going to change my life. You are full of love, laughter, positivity, and GLITTER!!!,” she wrote.

Johnson also thanked Siwa for “saving” her when she slipped through the dance routine.

“Thank you for an epic night… (and saving me from falling flat on my face _ ) FIRST EVER SAME SEX COUPLE!!!! And I’m proud to say it. Night one down and (hopefully) many more to go! And I’m sorry but can we check out her frame?!?!?!!!! Ok I’m done.”
