Sarah Jane Nader to debut on Dancing with the Stars

Sarah Jane Nader is set to debut on the 35th season of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ alongside professional dancer Hailey Bills. Their partnership marks only the second all-female pairing in the history of the long-running competition show.

As an openly queer woman, Nader expressed that she feels a sense of responsibility regarding LGBTQ+ visibility. She noted that growing up in Louisiana, she lacked queer representation on screen, stating, “Seeing two girls dance on TV would’ve changed my journey.”

Nader, known from ‘Love Thy Nader’, follows in the footsteps of her sister, Brooks Nader, who competed in season 33. Sarah Jane shared that her sister advised her to soak up every moment and remain present during the experience. She emphasized her focus on the competition and her partnership with Bills.
