Jowita Maria Przystał (born 22 August 1994)[1] is a Polish ballroom dancer. She is known for appearing and winning both The Greatest Dancer in 2020 and Strictly Come Dancing in 2022. She has been a professional on Strictly Come Dancing since 2021. [2]

Career

[edit]

Przystał and her partner Michael Danilczuk have represented Poland in national and international competitions.[3] In 2014 they became Polish Open Latin Champions.[4] They have also performed with Burn the Floor.[5] Przystał and Danilczuk have also performed in Broadway musical productions such as Legally Blonde, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and Rock of Ages.[6] They moved to London in 2019 to pursue careers in the United Kingdom.[7] In 2020, Przystał and Danilczuk appeared on The Greatest Dancer. They were crowned winners of the second series.[7] The prize was £50,000 and an opportunity to perform on the next series of BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing. They appeared on Week 6 of the eighteenth series of Strictly, in November 2020, as the guest dancers during the musical interlude. In September 2021, Przystał joined the nineteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing as a professional.

Strictly Come Dancing

[edit]

Przystał started her Strictly career in the nineteenth series, but was not partnered with a celebrity, only appearing in group dances. For the twentieth series, she received her first celebrity partner, cameraman and presenter Hamza Yassin. On 17 December 2022, they were announced the series champions, after beating Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez, Fleur East and Vito Coppola, and Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu in the final.[8] She is the fifth professional dancer and first ever female pro dancer to win their first series with a celebrity partner.[citation needed]
