Alan is finally getting his chance to shine after serving as a Dancing with the Stars Troupe member for multiple seasons. Alan joined the Troupe in Season 20 and served as an alternate when a pro dancer suffered an injury.
Alan made a name for himself last season when he repeatedly filled in for Maksim Chmerkovskiy and danced with Glee star Heather Morris both in rehearsals and onstage.
He's one of the youngest pro dancers on Dancing with the Stars this season, but he's got a lot to offer. Curious to learn more?
