Top 20 Best Dancing With the Stars Professional Dancers

[@MsMojo]

Who's YOUR favorite "Dancing with the Stars" professional dancer? Let us know below!

[@donnabowman1217]

Love Derek Hough

[@terrib627]

Derek and Maksim are my top 2. I still can't get over the chemistry Maksim had with Meryl Davis. I think those two were my favorite pairing of the entire series.

[@erzaender]

MY FAVORITE IS JULLIANE HOUGH

[@blaqkhavok35]

Derek

[@shaivyas]

Witney Carson!!!!

[@kleocar2]

As far as I am concerned, when Mark, Derek, and Julianne hit the show, the quality of the dances sky-rocketed. These three were responsible for attracting millions of viewers. Mark, Derek, and Julianne needed to be tied for the #1 spot on this list.

[@chelseacanales8763]

Anyone else knew that Derek Hough would be at #1? I mean sure all the professional dancers are great and amazing, but he has won many trophies on that show.

[@ElizabethNicoleSchwartz]

100%! It's hard to forget how many great seasons he's had.

[@meganfowler7643]

I knew it too. Called it the moment I clicked on the vid. He is beyond talented and that was proven by his 6 wins and the fact that no pro has gotten close

[@nhlover]

Too obvious it was going to be Derek. You don’t even need to watch this whole to know

[@regiigu960]

No doubt

[@lmsmith015]

It's true, and he's definitely my favorite, BUT you have to admit that the show always pairs him with someone stellar. There is some favoritism in the partner pairings for sure.

[@stephenbrown2512]

I’m sorry, but how is Mark only 11?!? He’s easily in the top 5 and one of the most creative, alongside Derek.

[@-m00ncity39]

Right

[@pieceofpart6088]

Agree. He also got the character. Remember when he dance jazz with Paige? I love it so much.

[@janicestanley8925]

Agree!

[@BamaDiva85]

@@pieceofpart6088 I seriously watch that dance at least 3 times a month. My favorite from him!

[@KristenRowenPliske]

I always enjoyed his dances. He’s very creative!

[@shellybly18]

Mark Ballas should have been much higher and they didn't even mention his Emmy nominations. He's my favorite!

[@kikay134]

And Maks at #5? It took him 14 seasons to win! Mark should be at that placement or higher.

[@LostintheTwilightZone]

@@kikay134 Maks was given mostly middle aged non dancers to work with, where Mark and Derek were given young athletic and in some cases trained dancers to work with. The fact that Maks could get to second place with Kirsty Ally is a testament to his skills as a chorography and dancer.

[@kikay134]

@@LostintheTwilightZone Maks has been given several ringers as well (Mel B., Heather Morris, Erin Andrews) and his choreography still hasn't been noteworthy (his jazz choreo with Heather was just so meh that I cringed.) Mark has had a few non-dancers as well (Kim Kardashian, Shannon Doherty, Bristol Palin, Candice Cameron Bure) but he still made the most of it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But still, as a pro he's had one of the most finals appearances, as well as Emmy noms. I've been watching DWTS for years and the only iconic dances I can remember from Maks were that paso with Mel B and his freestyle with Erin. From Mark, it's tons - that gorilla dance with Bristol, the Super Mario finale with Sadie, his jives with Chelsea Kane and Paige, the waltz with Lindsay Stirling, freestyle with Shawn Johnson, and many more.

[@shellybly18]

@@kikay134 I second that as well as his Argentine Tango with Lindsey Sterling...I can never forget about that one, it blew me away. Also, his dances with Kristi Yamaguchi. He is a creative genius.

[@paulineguedeslyra]

Mark Ballas is awesome! Unfortunately, it seems that even the show doesn't recognize it.

[@katieorlowski3806]

I love Mark, Whitney, Lindsey, and Jenna, but my all time favorite is Mark because I love his imagination and choreography.

[@tjwash2]

Mark is the Gene Kelley of this generation. Gene Kelley was often more of an athletic, free spirited dancer than the likes of other greats of his time like Fred Astaire. As is Mark among his peers

[@miergarz3060]

Mark is too low. He’s the second most successful professional after Derek on dwts. Y’all did him dirty.

[@faithing1803]

I feel like Mark should have been placed higher

[@lindsayanne7756]

100000 percent

[@ladyearin]

Yaaaaaaaasssssssss

[@upclose22]

He definitely should have placed higher.

[@iboundao3387]

This is my perfect top: 1- Derek Hough 2- Mark Ballas 3- Lindsay Arnold (the best female ever) 4- Julianna Hough 5- Val 6- Cheryl Burke 7- Witney Carson 8- Maxim 9- Peta 10- Jenna

[@Awemazngness25]

THIS.

[@solgabosi5716]

I like Cheryl but her choreography skills have been lacking for some years now. She's not the genius she used to be on that matter. And Jenna is amazing as a dancer but sometimes struggles to make choreography to enhance her partners abilities instead of hers. Witney is right behind Lindsay in my book.

[@CanIgetsubsBefore-tk1fs]

Mark and Lindsay should be way higher, they are by far the most creative choreographers, I agree Derek is still #1 but Mark should’ve been at least a top 5, and Lindsay at least a top 10

[@tiffprendergast]

Lindsey Stirling?? Yess

[@Honeybritt2325]

Lindsay’s dances are some of my favorites

[@pamayapaya]

@@tiffprendergastLindsay Arnold, the pro

[@ElizabethNicoleSchwartz]

It's awesome to see some of the old pros on this list like Karina, Tony, Kym, etc.. Since they haven't been on the show in so long.

[@ElizabethNicoleSchwartz]

It's almost surprising that Julianne Hough only danced on 5 seasons. It felt like she was there a lot longer. And I mean..she was, as a judge, but besides that!

[@jodiecarlson6955]

I always felt bad for Keo his first few years. They paired him up with some truly awful partners and he tried his best.

[@kenzielanning6862]

Remember how he got bad press when he was partnered with Jodie Sweetin?

[@LostintheTwilightZone]

Two season ago there were 4 couples who had to do "Jazz" routines during the season, the first 3 did NOT do Jazz routines. They did a muck up of other styles and called it Jazz and they all got really good scores. Sorry but if you do not actually do the style you are assigned you should get marked down, no matter how good the routine was otherwise. The last couple to get a Jazz routine were Keo and his partner. Keo did an actual "Jazz" routine that was absolutely incredible. He and his partner got good scores, but should have been higher.

[@mayratello7221]

Agree!

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

I thought Keo was a great dancer but he was not a great instructor in the beginning. I didn't watch later so I don't know if he improved or he got better dancers. The biggest difference, I think, between the best pros and those lower on the list is the ability to instruct and choreograph to the celebs strengths. Keo wasn't that in the beginning.

[@MsStina84]

@@mortimerbrewster3671 In my opinion he has never been a good teacher and it annoys me every time they keep bringing him back.

[@loserlobster]

At first I wasn’t crazy about Jenna to be honest, but in the last few seasons I’ve realized how fantastic of a choreographer she is, especially with partners like Jojo and Nev. She’s great at playing to her partners strengths and she has created some of the most unique and brilliant routines I’ve seen. Also Daniella, one of the newest pros, is one of my favorites now. Her work with Iman this season has been outstanding. The Contemporary routine they performed for Horror night is no joke one of the best dances I’ve ever seen on the show. Her choreography has been unmatched. If she ever gets a partner who is a naturally gifted dancer, she will be unstoppable

[@epinedo]

You should watch this season cause she's now paired with Jason Mraz and he's a natural!

[@xodanid31ox]

Love how they mention maks is Val’s brother, peta his sister-in-law but not that Jenna is his wife 😂😂😂

[@bridgettebabb6900]

Omg I didn’t know that! Makes sense though that’s a cute pair .

@@bridgettebabb6900 just because I reread this but I meant that val and Jenna are married

[@dayinalifewithlee4404]

Yeah

[@tjwash2]

And Peta is his wife

[@SW01]

I definitely believe that Mark Ballas should have been rated higher. He’s my favorite dancer and he does the best choreography in my opinion. The show hasn’t been near as good since he left.

[@NYChica23]

I would place him at #1, because the level of creativity Mark brings to every single one of his routines is something that is unmatched

[@el7jake]

​@@NYChica23I couldn't agree more!! He, followed by Val, has always been the best in my opinion.

[@ashante190]

I actually think Lindsey is better than Witney. She does a better job at elevating her dancers no matter what skill set they started with, and tailoring her choreography.

[@annaxuan4936]

agree!

[@laurissa1790]

I completely agree!

[@marisolbustamante4665]

AGREE

[@surunga8551]

Me too

[@cheesyDELISH48]

I've heard Witney is actually really snotty in real life. She gives me mean girl vibes

[@dellawahyuni6349]

Derek is the greatest choreographer, he always makes his partners looked good because he knows how to present their best assets and hide their weaknesses. Mark is the most creative, although sometimes he went overboard with theming, it's hard to deny the artistic genius in his choreography. Karina is by far the best dancer to ever grace DWTS. Sure as a teacher and choreographer she's not the very best, but boy can she move. My top 10 greatest DWTS pros ever, all things considered, would be: 1. Derek Hough (fav. partner: Nicole Scherzinger) 2. Mark Ballas (with Katherine Jenkins) 3. Karina Smirnoff (with Mario Lopez) 4. Kym Johnson (with Joey Fat One) 5. Lindsey Arnold (I really enjoyed her one-two punch with Alek Skarlatos and then Wanya of Boyz II Men the most) 6. Cheryl Burke (with Gilles Marini) 7. Emma Slater (with Bill Engvall) 8. Julianne Hough (with Helio Castroneves) 9. Maksim Chmerkovskiy (with Laila Ali) 10. Anna Trebunskaya (with Evan Lysacek)

[@NYChica23]

I actually preferred Emma with Rashad Jennings, Julianne with Apolo Anton Ohno, and Maks with Mel B

[@marylamont7876]

Maks is by far my favorite dancer. I noticed years ago, he was perpetually placed in UNDERDOG positions and was under appreciated.

[@natalieexox]

Happy to see Lindsay on here!! Great personality, energy and skill. She’s often underrated being compared to Witney since sytycd.

[@vickykins315]

Putting mark ballas at 11 is absolutely laughable. We all know him and Derek are the two best of all time

[@andreacastro8338]

How could they not mention Sharna's INCREDIBLE season with James? :(

[@elyse8574]

yess that was one of my favorite seasons

[@jfrazzled]

Oh her season with Nick.

[@mayratello7221]

That was my thought exactly

[@baylasosa5957]

As far as I am concerned, when Mark, Derek, and Julianne hit the show, the quality of the dances sky-rocketed. These three were responsible for attracting millions of viewers. Mark, Derek, and Julianne needed to be tied for the #1 spot on this list.

[@MsStina84]

@@jfrazzled I think they easily could've won many other seasons (on talent not on other things like she did)

[@rekaroob2589]

I have so many favourites but l think mark ballas should definietly be higher on this list. He is the most creative pro, in my opinion his coreos were even better than derek's. I think pasha pashkov will be on a dwts best's list because he is an absolutely amazing pro who knows his partner's strengths. He is also a blackpool champ. But this year he was really unlucky, l hope next year he gets somone young with a lot of potential.

[@ashante190]

Agree. I came to the comment section to state this! I think this list is very much based on who is the most popular throughout the years.

[@glopop5282]

Definitely agree that mark should’ve been at least top 5

[@miergarz3060]

I don’t think him being a black pool champ has to do with this video though. This video is just who’s the better choreographers out the pros, who’s basically done the best with the celebrity contestants on the show, and who’s more popular. If it was truly on who’s the best dancer out the pros, Pasha would be top 6 but Derek would not as he is not top 10, he’s not even better than Mark in their primes.

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

Ballas should have been higher but half of the time was not impressed or was bored by his routines. I would have put him around 5th.

[@musicalriotgrl1]

How can y'all talk about Artem and not mention him meeting his future wife and baby mama Nikki Bella on DWTS

No disrespect, but tone was a much better dancer than Neo. That said I found it unfair for both of them Although I do think Tony Has the record with what u so perfectly named!

Derek’s greatest winning season was with Kellie Pickler. It was a genuine win from start to finish with fabulous competition and very little judge bias.

[@PlumbPitiful]

I don't think they'll do that again because it wasn't very well received the first time. The general consensus was that all those people had already won and someone else should get a chance. What they could do though is maybe have a "Second-Chance All Stars" where instead of having a cast of former winners they could have a cast of runners-up that only made it to second place but now have one more shot at the 🏆😀

While i know these guys & gals are some of the shows most well known pros...i still think they should've mentioned at least Louis & Lacey. I meant, Louis is an OG pro. And even though he's had some here & there partners, he's still had some good partners like reality stars Lisa Rinna, Kelly Osborne and Kendra Wilkinson. And Lacey is a pretty underrated pro herself. She's placed 3rd place with Nsync member Lance Bass, she was also partnered with actor Mark Dacoscos, stuntman Steve-O and was runner up with Disney star Kyle Massey. I still think Lacey & Louis or any other of the OG pros should get honorable mentions
