LOS ANGELES, California -- On the Season 22 premiere of Dancing with the Stars, winner of America's Next Top Model - Nyle DiMarco, delighted the audience and the judges with his dance routine despite being Deaf.
DiMarco was paired with his dance partner, Peta Murgatroyd. With DiMarco not being able to hear the music she said, “I feel I have to change my way of teaching. I have to tap on his shoulder sometimes. Other times I’m pushing him a little bit to tell him when to go.” She even learned a bit of sign language in order to better communicate with her celebrity dancer.
