[@George-jr7vv]

Anyone agree Daniella is the best pro? Two years in a row she takes two people with zero experience and has the best choreography of any dancer. Please keep Dani on for many seasons. She is so amazing

[@marie-evetetrault8878]

Jenna’s choreography is better

[@RaenelleLee]

Agreed. She is truly amazing and talented!!

[@Bee_TROH80]

I love Daniella! Definitely agree with you!

[@SunnyDaysAreHereAgain]

@@marie-evetetrault8878 with ringers yeah

[@SunnyDaysAreHereAgain]

Daniella is the best pro right now female and Artem male.

[@michelledyess138]

When your coach is Dani and your wife is Teyana ,we get a champion!! 🏆 Iman was in it to win it from the start!❤️He was lovely to watch All the contestants were so good I really enjoyed this season!

[@rachelwayne4885]

Well said!

[@ddoubleu170]

PERIODT!

[@quepasa3094]

I have never watched Dancing with the stars until this year IMAN and Daniella were awesome 😁😎 the whole season was fun to watch hope next year is just as grand WAY TO GO IMAN👍😁

[@amandatidey5751]

The only thing that I didn't like was I NEEDED to see more of them after the win!! I know it's live tv but we got like 5 seconds, they deserved more time to shine!

[@albertmorales3233]

After that sensational free style, I knew Iman & Dani had it in the bag! Julianna Hough called it “the best free style I’ve seen in 30 seasons” for a reason and that’s all credit to Dani’s choreography and understanding how Iman thrives.

[@rtmusicvideos431]

Daniella is a very smart and creative choreographer because she tailors choreography to her partner’s strengths and in a way that will make them stand out. She used the height difference to their advantage by including a lot of lifts. Iman is a hard worker and competitive so that helped, but I feel like it was Daniella’s choreography that really helped them win (also Iman’s fans voting I’m sure).

[@SkyLove80.]

They were fun to watch☺

[@h.patriciablackshire6003]

This YEAR 2021 for Iman Shumpert and Daniela K. on Dancing With the Stars was EVERYTHING! ELECTRIFYING! Blaze On!!!

[@elizabethparkhurst2824]

Daniella, I cant get over you teaching this awesome player all these moves!! You have to win an Emmy!

[@SuperProcrastina]

She is Amazing! He is phenomenal! I am so happy they WON!!!

[@rheannahoffmann385]

So humble. I love their chemistry

[@tracymccall6801]

Dani is awesome she make things happen. Congrats to them both well deserved.

[@sheilamae5489]

🙌🏼 I voted for you both IMAN and Daniella. Thought Tyra was gonna say “it’s a tie” 😂 Jojo and Jenna were great, too! They both are winners.

[@josaczyn]

You have to give them both credit working with the height difference. Daniella’s choreography was phenomenal and complimented their size difference perfectly. He was a joy to watch.

[@susanhouser3676]

I am so glad Iman won this season!!! He and Daniella were such a great match and so much energy with their dances!!! DWTS needs to go back to have celebrities who are not trained dancers. Congratulations Iman & Daniella ❤️❤️💃🏼🕺🏿

[@242mom]

My favorite couple of all time♥️♥️

[@epatterson1504]

So happy for the two they killed the season!!!!

[@JJ-gk9ri]

He likes dancing more than basketball, that's for sure

[@Derbonne]

Congrats! Well deserved! THEY make a great team and brought so much energy! King and Queen of the ballroom hands down! Love it!

[@deesong6722]

I love their positive energy!!!

[@barbc.3093]

Well deserved win 🏆👏! They were definitely the most improved couple from week 1! The way this show originally started the outcome. Great job Daniella and Iman ❤❤❤❤🥰🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@michellenewby8555]

She hott so is he.i love how excited Tyra was when said it.loved him from the first time saw him dance . Amanda was good she needs to dancer she has the legs and moves.

[@willa1699]

Daniella is great and I am annoyed that she barely was asked anything but shout out to Iman for throwing it back to her. She helped him get to where he was in the dancing, they made a great team.😊

[@richinchristlove8143]

What a joy to watch Iman and Daniella perform ever week on the dance floor. I have enjoyed this whole season. I enjoyed the judging more as well.Bruno Keeps me laughing. I like all the Judges, definitely great to Derrick sister be his fill in. Get well Derrick.

[@saralaughlin4853]

I LOVE THESE TWO!!! Congrats y’all!!

[@jessicaoddone]

Well deserved. We all know JoJo can dance because that’s what she does

[@jamessibson7453]

Exactly!! The pro Jo Jo crowd just doesn't seem to realize that this show just isn't about who is the best team per se from the beginning as the two girls were perhaps. Iman is hardly a great dancer but he wasn't one to begin with and with that added height disadvantage he had to deal with over his partner makes this victory all the more impressive. Plus based on a comment Jo Jo made after the contest subtly implied to me she thought she got "robbed"! Privately outside the ear shot of the public she may be a poor loser who feels entitled.

[@chasityboat5898]

They are the best dancing DUO 💃 😍 🕺

[@joycollins8595]

Congratulations Iman and Daniella!!!

[@w1nda1monn87]

I'm soooooo happy for Iman and Daniella!!!

Why is this blurry ?

[@sheilajackson2917]

Congrats

[@pleasantdreams6216]

this girl is MEGA talented!! if she made a champion out of this guy with 0 moves initially! imagine what she can do with any other celebrity!!

[@mrs.gemini7119]

Congrats! 👏🏽👑💙

[@luvtherapy]

I knew that was Chicago footwork.

[@Jlh0023]

Still bar none the best couple of the entire show and ive never missed one episode since day one. Its a lot of her. Shes the Michael Jackson of the ballroom. Equally a nod given to Derrick for same comparison!!

[@paulahaney9104]

It was 🎨🖼 the way u guys dance u 👍 congrats

[@native_warrior1557]

She said lift me all the time lol 😂

[@KadeKurved]

This was the best season to me!! Proud of Iman!! He's so cool man

[@jackross956]

Don't know who tf Danielle is, but my guy IMAN with the W!!!!

[@ddu1331]

Love it!

[@RAYGUNKNEESHURT]

I’m so happy that he won. Daniella is great and she can dance her butt off.

[@foodandwinefromhoneyblonde8346]

Me too

[@pinkringo222]

i was hoping for jojo or iman!! he killed it the entire season, well deserved!

[@truely304]

yess. so, thrilling.They were the best!!

[@nay984]

He so fine 😍

[@pigalle1]

Agreed . She can dance any style comfortably.

[@carriesmith5530]

That Halloween dance was their turning point for me. So glad he won.

[@sharon21924]

SAME. I thought he moved better than other nba players on the show but the win was so unexpected. I actually thought it was going to be between the miz and jojo. But this was a happy surprise.

[@bkessinger94]

100% truth

[@mayaaa2695]

Yuuup!

[@brandilepage4052]

Daniella deserves a huge raise, she is IMPECCABLE! Absolutely stunningly gorgeous choreographer! She’s by far the best that’s ever been on this show! Iman I am so proud of him! A manly man who took the show serious and KILLED IT!

[@khunter8757]

Only her second season and she has a mirror ball. If she keeps coming back I bet she breaks Derek's record.

[@Finley67]

Yes but she needs a dancer like iman.

[@cieloalvarez1188]

If they give her good dancers. No hate to Derek but I feel like he always got people that actually had potential.

[@stacytrowell6890]

Derek's the one that got her & Pasha her on DWTS!!! Daniella & Pasha (her husband) was on WOD that Derek is a judge on!!! I bet Pasha would be fire if given a "ringer" cause him & his wife are FIRE dancing together!!! Lol!!! Even though she's married I just once want to see her dance with Artem cause, I bet that would be FIREEE!!! When Artem dances your eyes are on him no matter who he's dancing with however, I think Daniella would be the women to hang with him cause, she's the SHIT in dancing just like him, you can't look away from her!!!😂😎

[@elgithahodge1127]

Girl power Dani

[@katiehonan9079]

Yesss! She is pretty much the best choreographer on dwts

[@MurfMan96]

Dancing can be extremely challenging for tall people! That makes their win even sweeter! Dani and Iman were AMAZING!

[@tomgallowitz]

Agree plus add the difference in their heights him she tall, she small, even if he was already good in the beginning still challenging since it’s to have a good frame and match each other

[@riceislife722]

Iman showed a lot of improvement every week, he was not conscious if he’s gonna make a misstep or not, he connected well with the audience, he was cool, motivated and took constructive criticisms graciously. And Daniela made sure that he would shine on every performance. This is what this competition is all about. Well done Iman and Daniela!

[@yvettebeckwith3083]

👏👏👏!!!

[@mojo4293]

We've never voted before. Last night we both gave 10 votes to Iman and Dani. Best Freestyle Ever!

I haven’t seen one person say he doesn’t deserve the win. His growth is unmatched. Daniellas choreography is AMAZING

[@raynawatkins4542]

I agree with 100%…. I was with them since day 1 and I wasn’t going to give up on them for anything

[@milopainter8875]

Jojo deserved it.

[@catsthatsmokemeth]

Ya he didn’t deserve shit. Except for maybe a bag of shit. This was JoJo’s. Straight up homophobia and misogyny.

[@kaitlynlovesvideos]

@@catsthatsmokemeth if wanting Iman to win is homophobic and misogynistic then wanting Jojo to win makes you racist. Smh grow up, Iman won the hearts of the people watching, not just the fan base he came in with.

That her first mirror ball this year

[@derrickbraithwaite-mais8469]

🎯💯

[@Finley67]

I thought all 4 couples blew it away. But after Iman danced that dance he had me sold. He might be tall but never once did they look awkward. I could just imagine his legs were burning but he just kept dancing. Congratulations Iman and to all the other top three. Best season ever.

[@katle4930]

Agreed! But because he’s a basketball player, I’m assuming his legs were able to handle it 😂

[@amyk1575]

Jenna and Dani are such incredible choreographers

[@scotty-smith]

Iman was a joy to watch! He was in it to win it. Loved his commitment. What a great team!

[@MaryJane80]

Daniella bought the choreography but it’s the way they delivered that really made it look so fun to the general public who don’t watch the show of know a single thing about dance. They made it look not so technical… if that makes any sense. Just like Iman says, his partner brought in the footwork and his wife saying not so combine what he’s learned and put on a show

[@vidyahsoogrim2181]

Well done. Improved every week... it doesnt matter how you start its how you finished.. they finished with the mirrorball.. congratulations to them...

[@DaBassLadyCovers]

I just love Iman and his Family!!! His daughters inherited their parents talents, and beauty!!!

[@glopop5282]

He wasn’t my pick to win, but I’m so glad he did win. He embraced everything the show is about and and just progressed week by week. He won the hearts of so many people. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 great job Iman!

[@Dymsx86]

Soooooo well-deserved!!! Dani is an amazing pro and Iman is such a creative force. I'm glad they were partnered together because I think Dani really brought out the dancer in Iman. She is so gifted and focused on his strengths.

[@raynawatkins4542]

In the beginning I used to be so mad at Len for giving him a hard time but then I realized that he was hard on Iman because he saw that he had potentials. I’m just so proud of him and Dani words alone cannot explain…

[@Klvnbrgs93]

Congrats 🎉 🔥 he’s the king 🤴 of the ballroom

Glad they won! They certainly earned it. Amazing performances.

[@hungryshark3463]

Stop ignoring Daniella and ask the girl some questions too, sheeshh

I am so happy! JoJo was great but she had years of dance training. Iman was so entertaining and my favorite from the first dance. Yay Iman and Dani! So much great choreography and personality!

Exactly, that's look us on a cooking show. If I come in with no experience, and you've been cooking for 20 plus years. Your meals you prepare are goona always be batter than mine.

Yeah. I don't think trained dancers should be apart of this competition. Just like with the mask singer I don't think professional singers should be a part of it.

[@JanLilyJing]

@@nickylnr It really irks me because it's so unfair! Iman is so much more impressive as he had never had training to dance and went from a 4 from Len on his first dance to 10s!

[@MM-oh2yb]

@@JanLilyJing jojo still had NO experience with ballroom dancing, it took her a very long time to actually get the hang of the simple steps. I don’t think it would be unfair because it’s still a challenge for her it’s not like she’s automatically going to win because she danced as a kid? What is up with his mindset in thinking that if your dance or you have limits and that’s it no obviously she’s learned from this experience and she did incredible. who cares if she was a dancer or not before.

This was one of the most fun seasons in a long time. Basketball players can't dance, yet Dani was able to get Iman to use his size and strength on the ballroom floor to blow everyone else out of the water. Besides, who doesn't like a grown man who still calls his mother, Mommy. That was so cute.
