Witney Carson talks about her return to the show
Witney Carson, now 30, is excited to return to So You Think You Can Dance for its 18th season this year.
According to Soaps, she revisited the Fox show on May 13, Monday, marking a long-overdue comeback. Carson describes this moment as "surreal."
“It’s like a full-circle moment because it really felt like that. I started out as a baby on this show, with braces, and had no idea where my career would take me. I just took that first leap of faith by joining the show, and it was really cool to step back on and be proud of all the work I've done and to provide some inspiration for those kids,” she shared with Soaps.
In her personal life, she has been married to her high school sweetheart, Carson McAllister, since January 1, 2016. The couple has two children: Kevin Leo McAllister, age 3, and Jet Carson McAllister, age 1.
Witney Carson on her brand ambassadorship with Gatorade
Carson’s Always in Motion campaign was filmed earlier this year. It became the perfect type of challenge for the So You Think Can Dance contestants. With the new format change in Season 18, the dancers have been tackling real-world opportunities like music videos, and Broadway including social media brand deals provide lucrative gigs for artists. That’s how Gatorade comes into the picture.
“Gatorade has always been an iconic brand that I’ve admired, so working with them has truly been a dream come true,” Carson expressed with enthusiasm. “The campaign’s message, that Gatorade Water is for everyone who is always in motion, resonates deeply as it underscores our universal connection through constant movement.”
Carson also noted the increasing intersection between brands and dancers, amplified by the popularity of platforms like TikTok. This integration makes her partnership with Gatorade one of the most realistic challenges contestants will face in their careers.
Interestingly, Carson once worked as a dental assistant and is trained in various dance forms including hip-hop, contemporary, jazz, ballet, Latin, and standard ballroom.
