Here Come the Hanukkah Videos: Dancing With the Stars Celebrates Hanukkah with Matisyahu's "Miracle"

Dancing with the Stars recently featured its first-ever Hanukkah-themed dance in a holiday special, choreographed by Jewish pro Alan Bersten to Matisyahu's "Miracle", incorporating menorahs, dreidels, and hora steps for a powerful moment of Jewish representation that resonated with viewers. 

Bersten, along with fellow Jewish dancer Val Chmerkovskiy and other pros, created the routine to make Jewish kids feel seen and proud, receiving praise as a milestone for the show's history. 

The dance included spinning oversized dreidels, formations resembling a menorah, and steps inspired by Jewish folk dances and Fiddler on the Roof.
