Winners get the “Len Goodman Mirrorball” Trophy.
The competition’s coveted finale trophy was renamed back in Season 32 in honor of professional ballroom dancer and dance competition judge Len Goodman, who passed away in April 2023 at 78 years old.
“The Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy will now be lifted on Dancing with the Stars like the Vince Lombardi trophy is lifted at the Super Bowl,” executive producer Conrad Green told USA Today.
Who won ‘Dancing With The Stars’ last year?
“Bachelor” lead Joey Graziadei and partner Jenna Johnson won the Len Goodman Mirrorball trophy last fall.
Last season also saw two Floridians compete for the trophy: Stephen Nedoroscik, U.S. Men’s gymnastics team Olympian and Sarasota resident, and Jenn Tran, “The Bachelorette” lead and Miami resident.
