paired with tennis player Monica Seles and Grammy Award-winning artist Macy Gray.

Jonathan Roberts began his dance career at the age of 20. Before he discovered the world of dance, his high school background was athletics — particularly basketball. But he was shocked when he discovered his passion for ballroom dancing after viewing the famous tango scene in the Al Pacino movie, "Scent of a Woman." He took advantage of the free ballroom lessons offered on the back of his ticket stub, and the rest, as they say, "is history."

With his first partner, Jonathan won the 1997 USA Rising Star American Ballroom before deciding to focus on the Latin style. He then became 2004 USA Rising Star Latin Champion and Open finalist. He also competed in Pro-Am (the Professional/Amateur circuit), where he became two-time undefeated USA Pro-Am 10 dance champions, three-time undefeated USA Pro-Am Latin champions and two-time USA Pro-Am American Ballroom champion.

Jonathan retired from professional Latin dancing in 2006, but returned to competitions in 2008 winning the U.S. and World professional American Smooth Champion. He now travels around the world coaching and choreographing at dance studios, events and TV shows like "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Dancing with the Stars."
