Montel Hewson Biography – Montel Hewson Wiki

Montel Hewson is an Irish professional dancer. He won the World Dance Organisation World Youth Under 21 Latin Championships with his partner, Jillian Bronwich, in Sicily.

“We were so happy to win the competition,” Montel told the Sunday World. “There are so many couples in it, and then it goes to the last six finalists.

“When it came to second place it was just us left and the Ukrainian couple, so the tension was really high. Our hearts were thumping out of our chests.

“Then, luckily, it was in our favour – they called the Ukrainian couple to be second and we both started crying, that we won it for Ireland.

“It was the first time ever that an Irish couple had become world champions in this competition, so it was the first time they played the national anthem. When we got up there, we were crying our eyes out.”

Montel was born in Dublin but moved to Romania with his Romanian father and Irish mother at a young age and started to learn to dance there when he was four. He moved back to Ireland when he was 11.

Montel dedicated his win at the World Dance Organisation World Youth Under 21 Latin Championships to Alli.

“I felt Alli on the floor with me the whole time, and during each round I talked to her, to push me to do as best as I can,” he said. “She is an inspiration to me always. She only got to see me dance once with Jillian, as we only started dancing together maybe two months before she died.

“Alli was the type of person that always invited us to her house after training, as she’d always be awake. I dedicated my win to her.”

Montel previously spoke about Dancing With The Stars, saying: “Dancing With The Stars is a great show, but a lot of it is about entertainment and the glamour aspect of it – but when it comes to competitive dancing, you don’t really hear anything about it at all.

“Any time I speak about dancing, people always mention Dancing With The Stars, but the competitive side of it is a completely different.”
