All DWTS pros have their share of old dance projects. Some come from So You Think You Can Dance while others are competition champions. But one pro was a featured dancer in the hit Disney Channel classic, High School Musical.
The film came out in 2006, but the pro dancer still remembers her choreography 18 years later. She recently uploaded a stunning glow-up video of herself doing the routine as a fully-fledged professional dancer.
Read on to see the video.
A DWTS Pro Still Feels Proud To Be A Wildcat
Plenty of DWTS pros have guest-starred in movies and TV shows over the years. But long before she booked a starring role on Dancing With The Stars, one pro was just a teenager when she landed a gig as a dancer in High School Musical.
“In honor of #disneynight on @dancingwiththestars “Once a WildCat, always a WildCat” ❤️🏀🐾 #DWTS #highschoolmusical” Britt shared on Instagram a few days ago.
She started the video with the caption, “How it started” with an iconic clip from High School Musical during the “We’re All In This Together” dance sequence. Britt is the cheerleader who slips in front of Zac Efron’s character. The video then transitions to Britt in a DWTS costume finishing the choreography with the caption, “How it’s going.”
Fans were excited she remembered the choreo with such sharp precision and detail.
Comments included:
- “Ok I never knew this was you but always thought you ATE IT UP!!!!!!!!!! 🐾”
- “NO FREAKING WAY 😍😍😍”
- “OMG, I never knew she was a dancer on this. Makes me love her even more 😭.”
- “Danced her way through the High School Musical series and now she is dancing her way through DWTS 🤩🫶🏾”
Britt Stewart Credits Disney With Her Pro Dancing Career
Britt Stewart has openly spoken about her experience on the set of High School Musical in the past.
“When I was 15 [years-old], I booked the High School Musical movie,” the dancer told J-14 several years ago. “It wasn’t until after the third movie [that] I saw dance as being a realistic career for me. Disney has really blessed me in my career.”
Shen went on to say that at the time, no one really thought HSM was going to be a big deal. Having a dance role in the film certainly helped her get a leg up in the industry.
