A new Dancing With the Stars champion was crowned on Tuesday night after an intense 11 weeks of competition.
Season 34 of Dancing With the Stars has come to an end with the announcement of a new champ and recipient of the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. Five celebrities and their professional dance partners made it to the finale.

For the final round of competition, each dancing pair had to perform three dances: A judges’ choice, an instant dance, and a freestyle.
The episode started with the Judges’ Choice dances. For this round, a judge chose the dance style for the team and provided coaching. For the Instant Dance Challenge, the couples learned which dance style and song they had to perform just minutes before taking the stage. The final dance was the popular Freestyle dance.
