Week 1 ~Contemporary~

Sixteen-year-old Disney Channel star Zendaya stole the show on tonight’s premiere of season 16 of “Dancing with the Stars” with a gorgeous contemporary dance routine that earned the night’s loudest standing-o.And rightfully so.

The bubbly teen (the youngest contestant ever in the history of the show), who’s more at home with hip-hop and pop, proved she could dance as elegantly and passionately as many a seasoned dance pro. Her partner Val Chmerkovskiy doled out winning choreography for the pair, making her score of 24 from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli, the evening’s chart-topper.
