Alan Bersten is an American professional dancer who joined Dancing with the Stars as a pro in season 25 and won the Mirrorball Trophy in season 28 with Bachelorette star Hannah Brown.
Known for his patience with beginner partners, he was eliminated in week 2 of season 35 with celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis — then unexpectedly recalled to the ballroom to partner Jenna Dewan on Dedication Night while Val Chmerkovskiy served the first pro suspension in the show's history.
