Jordan is partnered with Lindsay Arnold for Dancing with the Stars' 25th season, and the pair have been conquering dance style after dance style, performance after performance. In fact, Jordan has received multiple perfect scores from the judges.
However, Lindsay is recovering from a recent knee injury, so hopefully she'll be able to continue dancing with Jordan, who has his eye on the prize.
Jordan may be the best dancer on the show when it comes to technique, but the competition is still fierce with other likeable and endearing celebrities in this season's cast.
With the season's finals here, here's some information about Jordan.
