Curiosity abounds as fans of Dancing with the Stars wonder about Dwight Howard’s height. Dwight is partnered with Daniella Karagach in DWTS. Their significant height difference has become a focal point of DWTS Season 33, especially after their debut performance wowed audiences. So, how tall is Dwight Howard, and what is the height difference between him and his dancing partner, Daniella?
So, let’s dive into all the details.
What is the height difference between Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach in DWTS?
The height difference between the two spectacular DWTS contestants Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach is more than 1.5 feet.
Here, NBA star Dwight stands tall at 6 feet 10 inches, while choreographer Daniella is 5 feet 3 inches, and they both manage to navigate their impressive height difference with ease.
The dancers’ height stood out right after their first performance in the premiere episode. As per Soaps, Judge Derek Hough even commented on the height difference between Karagach and Howard, saying, “It’s like watching a giraffe and a gazelle dance together.”
The height difference between the dancers caused some minor challenges for them. Daniella Karagach mentioned in a September 2024 interview with Us Weekly that she had to tweak her choreography right before their performance in the premiere episode because she didn’t realize how tall he was until they began rehearsing together.
“When we came into the studio for the first time to actually start rehearsals, I realized I had to switch up pretty much my whole choreography because I couldn’t make it around. He was so tall, I couldn’t get around him. So, I had to change up pretty much everything. It was crazy,” Karagach said.
DWTS fans already know that Daniella joined the show in Season 29. However, in Season 30, she partnered with another NBA player Iman Shumpert, who stands at 6-foot-5. However, she mentioned that dancing with Howard posed a much greater challenge for her. She noted that they are two completely different individuals, with Dwight being significantly taller. This created a unique set of challenges.
