\u2018Dancing With The Stars\u2019 would consider an all-male partnership.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DWTS to feature male-male partnership?<\/p>\n

Back in 2021, JoJo Siwa<\/a> and Jenna Johnson made history as the first same-sex pairing on the reality TV dance show and producers are keen to continue to \u201cpush the envelope\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking about professional dancers Mark Ballas<\/a> and Derek Hough, who performed a tango together on the show, executive producer Ryan O\u2019Dowd told Deadline: \u201cIt\u2019s great to do a dance like that in general, with the motivation behind it. Many people said to me they had no idea about the origins of the tango. And I had no idea that it did begin with two males. And so you\u2019ve got to see an unbelievable performance, right? \u2026 I would say we are constantly looking at the ways by which we can push the envelope and produce a show that reflects and represents society as a whole. So I wouldn\u2019t rule it out. It\u2019s something that we\u2019re continuing to discuss.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan added that he loves to \u201cdo things that have never been done before\u201d on \u2018DWTS\u2019.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI love when we do things that have never been done before, like with Ilona Maher this past season became the first-ever female celebrity to lift her partner Alan Bursten. There was another moment when Whitney Carson and Danny Amendola had this very iconic leg lift. It\u2019s almost like a slow motion leg lift that became this massive viral sensation and people started trying to do it. I love when things are being done that go beyond the scope of the broadcast and into your everyday life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAnd, Ryan believes the live nature of the show is one of its best assets.<\/p>\n

\nHe said: \u201cI think live television is more important today than it ever has been. You\u2019re going to see a spectacle. With appointment television, anything can happen on any given night. Lights can go down, someone falls, an ankle monitor is revealed, you name it. Even we as producers don\u2019t know the outcome of anything that you\u2019re about to see. That\u2019s exciting and gets people talking. So I would really lean into that, along with the fact that we also don\u2019t have many pure entertainment formats that a family can watch. It\u2019s rare today that there\u2019s something for everyone. There\u2019s suspense each and every season.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u2018Dancing With The Stars\u2019 is currently hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, with Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli as judges.<\/p>\n
