Dancing With the Stars is coming back in September and Stephen Nedoroscik has been confirmed as the first celebrity contestant of Season 33. That means that while we wait for the entire cast list, we can take some time to speculate on who Nedoroscik’s pro partner will be, and what each prospective pro could bring to the table.

Who Will Be Stephen Nedoroscik’s Pro Partner on Dancing With the Stars?

Koko Iwasaki

Pros: Iwasaki is not just the perfect height; she also has a great deal of experience that could come in handy to help Nedoroscik – she’s got history on So You Think You Can Dance on top of Dancing With the Stars. Iwasaki has also never really had a partner on the show who’s been such a fan favorite as Nedoroscik already is, so perhaps she’s due?

Cons: Iwasaki has less experience working with athletes than Stewart, which might end up being a disadvantage when it comes to choreography and actual dancing. The actual decision, of course, might depend on who else is on the celebrity list for the season, which we don’t know yet – which means Iwasaki is still a good possibility for Nedoroscik.

Pros: Stewart has a fair bit of experience under her belt, but with heels on she might be a bit too tall for Nedoroscik, which is something the show tries to avoid in pairing pros and celebrities. But they could work well together, and Stewart has competed with a former Olympian before, Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir. She also recently competed with NFL running back Adrian Peterson, so she knows how to work with athletes.

Cons: She might just be a better fit for someone else, which is something we won’t be able to know until we have a better idea of who else is competing in Dancing With the Stars Season 33. Sometimes it’s not just about who seems to be a good fit, but about who the season shakes up in general.

Pros: Their energies and vibes seem to match really well, so they look like they’d really feed off each other in the ballroom, which is really important for Dancing With the Stars. Chemistry is sometimes half the battle! Their matching energy and enthusiasm mean they could try some entertaining choreography, particularly considering Nedoroscik is an athlete.

Cons: This is only Rylee Arnold‘s second season on the show – she joined Dancing With the Stars in Season 32, which means Nedoroscik, who is an athlete but who doesn’t have much dancing experience, might be better off with a more experienced pro in both choreography and teaching. He trains mostly arms for pommel horse, his specialty, and the ballroom will require a lot more foot coordination than we’ve seen from Nedoroscik.
