His powerful and elegant choreography and performances on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars and at charity and corporate events mesmerizes Albanian and American audiences alike worldwide.
Driton “Tony” Dovolani (his name translates to “Our Light” in Albanian) is a professional dancer with elegant moves, gentleness, and a bright smile that delights all who see him on the wide screen. And he’s also a proud Albanian, incorporating the red and black colors of the Albanian flag whenever possible in his Dancing with the Stars outfits. Since he first joined the ABC show during season two, Dovolani has won the adoration and respect of the public by bringing his celebrity partners closer and closer to winning the coveted trophy. In season 15, The All Star Season, he and his partner, Melissa Rycroft, won the Mirror Ball, and finally Dovolani was rewarded for his hard work and innovative dance choreography and performances. His most recent partner was actress Leah Remini.
