Who Won the Most Recent Season
The most recent winner of Dancing with the Stars is determined by a combination of judges' scores and public votes. The champion is announced at the end of the live finale after a final dance round. The winning couple receives the coveted mirrorball trophy.
How the Winner Is Chosen
Each week, celebrities and professional partners perform choreographed routines. Judges assign scores based on technique, performance, and artistry. Viewers then cast votes online or by phone. The couple with the highest combined judges' and audience score each week is typically safe, while the lowest-scoring pair faces elimination until a final winner remains.
