'Dancing with the Stars' has crowned a very worthy winner
Dancing With the Stars has crowned a new winner.
This season marked its end by handing a Mirrorball trophy to Nyle DiMarco, who with partner Peta put on strong performances all season and taught the viewing audience a lesson about perseverance in the process.
A large part of that credit should go to Peta, who adapted her teaching style to help her partner, who is deaf, keep the beat and stay in tempo. Nyle, too, stayed determined to rise above the rest all season, even in the face of sometimes unfair criticisms.
