Think gymnastics and dance are the same? Think again. Gymnasts like Simone Biles are all about power, explosive moves, sharp, and strong. But dance? It demands something different: smooth, flowing motion and emotional expression. Plus, Simone’s muscle strength, which is perfect for flips and vaults, can make delicate dance moves a bit tricky. So, can a gymnast be a dancer? For Simone, the answer is a loud yes. And she showed us time and again! But this time, she showed us again, but she wasn’t dancing with her husband, Jonathan Owens. Nope. But with someone 10.5 inches taller than her tiny 4-foot-8 frame. Curious who that is?

We all remember, in 2017, when Simone put herself to the ultimate test by competing on Dancing with the Stars Season 24 with professional dancer Sasha Farber. And wow, did she shine. Week after week, Simone stunned everyone with performances that earned perfect scores and praise from judges. Her contemporary dance to How Far I’ll Go from Moana is still remembered.

Now, after eight years, Simone and Sasha are back together, and fans are buzzing. Well, on 3rd June, Simone Biles shared a fun Instagram Story of them dancing, full of laughter, energy, and that signature chemistry. She rocked a black crop top, loose maroon pants, and white sneakers, while Sasha kept it casual in a white shirt with suspenders and black pants. It was originally shared by Sasha, who captioned it.

“We do this in most hotel lobbies @simonebiles 😂😂😂”  because clearly, this duo knows how to have fun anywhere. And just when you thought it couldn’t get better, Biles followed up with another Story featuring pro fencer Miles Chamley-Watson joining in on the fun, showing off some smooth moves right alongside Simone and Sasha.

So, can a gymnast dance? Simone Biles isn’t just breaking records; she’s breaking stereotypes. Whether flipping through the air or flowing on the dance floor, she’s showing us all how it’s done. And her bond with Sasha? It goes far beyond the ballroom—he was there when she needed it most. Remember Tokyo?

Sasha Farber helped Simone Biles bring sass to the Olympics

Simone Biles and Sasha Farber formed a supportive bond during their time on Dancing With the Stars Season 24 in 2017. Though Biles initially admitted, “I was very nervous, and it’s very personal and all up in your face and he would get super close to me every time,” she grew more comfortable as their partnership progressed. Farber’s encouragement played a key role in that journey.

After receiving tough critiques from the judges, Biles once confided, “I feel like I’ve been trying my hardest and they just keep saying no… I feel really bad for you.” Farber reassured her gently, saying, “Believe me when I say it is good enough.” Their chemistry was undeniable, with their debut tango routine earning the highest score of the night.

Farber later reflected on their time together, saying, “This has literally been a dream come true to work with her. She’s grown so much as a person… I’m going to be there cheering her on at the next Olympics with a huge sign saying ‘Go Simone!’” Their connection didn’t end when the show did. Biles trusted Farber enough to bring him back years later to choreograph her floor routine for the Tokyo Olympics, saying she wanted to “spice it up” and add something fresh.

Farber responded with enthusiasm: “There’s a very sassy side to Simone that I’m really excited for people to see.” Their continued support for each other shows a relationship built not just on performance but on trust and deep professional admiration. Their journey shows how even outside their usual arenas, be it a ballroom or a gym, true partnerships can bring out the best in both people.
