Lindsay Arnold Cusick ( née  Arnold; born January 11, 1994) is an American professional dancer and choreographer. Specialized in Latin and ballroom styles, she rose to prominence as a finalist during the ninth season of the reality competition series So You Think You Can Dance.

Contents

Arnold joined Dancing with the Stars as a pro in 2013, as one of the youngest pros in history. She won its twenty-fifth season with singer-actor Jordan Fisher and set the record for the most perfect scores earned in a single season, with nine.

Early life

Lindsay Arnold was born on January 11, 1994, in Provo, Utah, [2] [3] to Joshua Arnold, a physician assistant and former defensive back for the BYU Cougars, [4] and Melinda "Mindy" Arnold ( née  Peay), a physical therapist. [4] [5] She is the oldest of four daughters; her siblings Jensen (b. 1997), Brynley (b. 2000), and Rylee (b. 2005), are also dancers. [6] [5]

Arnold began dancing when she was four years old. [5] As her sisters followed in her footsteps and dance dominated their household, their mother opened The Vibe, a dance studio in Lindon, Utah that offered a "family environment" for them to perform in. [7] Arnold trained under head director Rick Robinson and other teachers in a variety of mediums, including ballet, jazz, hip hop, contemporary, Latin and ballroom. [6] Most of her training, however, was with her main ballroom coach, Shirley Ballas. [6] [8] After graduating from Timpview High School, [9] Arnold planned to study physical therapy at Utah Valley University on a full academic scholarship. [8]

Career

By the age of eight, Arnold found a ballroom partner and began entering dancesport competitions. [6] She placed first in the U.S Open Youth Latin Championships and the U.S. Open Junior Latin Championships, was a top three finalist in the World Junior Latin Team Match, and was a top five finalist at the World Cup Latin Junior Championships and U.S. Junior National 10 Dance Championships. [6]

So You Think You Can Dance

Arnold auditioned for the ninth season of the dance competition series So You Think You Can Dance on February 23, 2012, in Salt Lake City. She was named one of the season's top twenty contestants and was first partnered with martial arts fusion dancer Cole Horibe. [10] As the season progressed, Arnold was paired with contemporary dancer Jakob Karr and ballet dancer Alex Wong. [11] She was ultimately eliminated alongside contemporary dancer Will Thomas on August 29, 2012, finishing within the top eight. [12] Arnold later performed on the series' accompanying tour from October to December 2012. [13]

Dancing with the Stars

Arnold became a professional dancer on season 16 of the reality television series Dancing with the Stars ; becoming the second-youngest pro dancer in the show's history at the time. [14] She was partnered with professional boxer Victor Ortiz. They were eliminated during the sixth week of competition on April 23, 2013, finishing in eighth place. [15] Arnold was demoted to the dance troupe from season 17 through season 20. [16] She was promoted to pro for a second time for season 21 and was partnered with Legion of Honor recipient Alek Skarlatos. [17] They reached the finale and finished in third place on November 24, 2015. [18]

For season 22, Arnold was paired with Wanya Morris of Boyz II Men. They were eliminated during the semifinals alongside NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown and Sharna Burgess on May 16, 2016, finishing in fourth place. [19] In season 23, Arnold was partnered with NFL wide receiver Calvin Johnson. They reached the finale and finished in third place on November 22, 2016. [20]

The following season, Arnold was paired with former MLB catcher David Ross. They also reached the finale, but were named the runners-up on May 23, 2017, behind former NFL running back Rashad Jennings and Emma Slater. [21] In season 25, Arnold was paired with singer-actor Jordan Fisher. One of the highest-scoring couples in Dancing with the Stars history, [22] they won the competition on November 21, 2017, [23] while setting the record for the most perfect scores earned in a single season, with nine. [24]

For the Athletes season, Arnold was partnered with former NBA center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. They were eliminated during the second week of competition alongside Notre Dame basketball player Arike Ogunbowale and Gleb Savchenko on May 7, 2018, finishing in seventh place. [25] In season 27, Arnold was paired with former NFL linebacker DeMarcus Ware. [26] They were eliminated during the seventh week of competition alongside actor-singer John Schneider and Emma Slater on November 7, 2018, also finishing in seventh place. [27]

During season 28, Arnold was paired with former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. Despite consistently earning low scores and criticism from the judges, [28] home audience votes allowed the pair to stay in the competition until they were eliminated during the quarterfinals on November 11, 2019, finishing in sixth place. [29] Arnold returned to the show in season 30 and was partnered with The Bachelor star Matt James. They were eliminated by judges' votes during the fourth week of competition alongside actor Brian Austin Green and Sharna Burgess on October 12, 2021, finishing in twelfth place; Arnold's lowest placement to date.
