Zendaya Coleman will put her dancing shoes to the test when she competes on DANCING WITH THE STARS Season 16!
She made an appearance on GOOD MORNING AMERICA where the celebrity contestants were announced, and later tweeted out “it’s true! I’m gonna be on #DWTS! With iamValC I’m gonna need my Zswaggers for this one!!” Her dance partner will be Val Chmerkovskiy, who was paired with Kelly Monaco in the last season, finishing in third place.
Other contestants in this season include country singer Kellie Pickler, NFL star Jacoby Jones, and Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman.
Zendaya is not the first SHAKE IT UP cast member to compete as a celebrity contestant on the show. Roshon Fegan, Daya’s older brother Ty on the show, was a contestant on Season 14, paired with Chelsie Hightower and finished in the top 6.
DANCING WITH THE STARS Season 16 begins on Monday, March 18! Are you rooting for Zendaya? Sound off in the comments below!
