Kamri Peterson Gets the Call: How She Found Out She Was Dancing With the Stars
An 18-year-old dancer just got the biggest news of her career—and it came through while she was alone in a hotel room.

Kamri Peterson is officially part of the Dancing With the Stars family for season 35, and she's still riding that high from the moment she found out.
The 18-year-old recalled the exact instant everything changed: a phone call she got while staying solo in a hotel room at a dance convention. One call. That's all it took to shift her whole trajectory. Peterson opened up about the surreal experience with Us Weekly, breaking down how that moment landed different because she was by herself, able to just sit with the news and let it sink in.
It's the kind of story that reminds you why people grind through these conventions and auditions in the first place. One phone call changes everything. For Peterson, that call came at the right time, and now she's locked in with one of TV's biggest dancing platforms. At 18, she's already got her foot in the door at a level most dancers would dream about.
More details on her journey and what's next for her on the show.
