Dancing With The Stars has revealed that Drag Race queen Shangela will be the first contestant in the show’s history to compete in drag.Shangela shared a clip of the announcement on her social media.“Ready to strut into this Ballroom and rep for anyone who ever had a Dream, baby!” she said.“Competing on @dancingwiththestars has honestly been a dream of mine for years.
I knocked on doors for meetings, I journaled, I prayed and I literally envisioned myself a part of this gig … I’ve been preparing my body for over a year in hopes that it would happen (y’all have seen me at the gym lol.) AND NOW I CAN SAY I’M HERE!“I hope to rep my community of Queens proudly.
I want to show America that this proud lil gay black boy from a small town in Texas never stopped Werqin for what he wanted, and now is about to compete in a new arena in his fiercest performance form … in drag as Shangela.
