DWTS: Taylor Hanson, Britt Stewart Detail His Boy Band Background As Asset 

Luckily, Taylor Hanson’s moves weren’t actually gone in an MMMBop.

In fact, as the Hanson member prepares to compete on season 35 of Dancing With the Stars, he and pro partner Britt Stewart, the two have found that his experience as a musician is certainly giving him a leg up. 

“It’s very very helpful,” Stewart told E! News in an exclusive joint interview with Hanson following the DWTS cast reveal on Sept. 2. “I love that each season I get to really teach and choreograph and curate this journey for whoever my partner is.”

“There was a moment in rehearsal the other day where I’m like, he’s teaching me about music within my knowledge of music that I have already,” the 36-year-old continued. “And Taylor said it so many times: music and dance—they’re so connected. So it’s definitely a strength that I’m using this season.”

Hanson added with a laugh, “It’s a strength I have to bring to the table.”
