Israeli 's Female Dancing Duo

Israel's Dancing With the Stars will include a female couple among its upcoming season's contestants.

Gilli Shem Tov, an out lesbian and television presenter, told the BBC that dancing with a female partner felt natural to her anyway.

"I have realized that dance is about coordination and energy between two people, whether female or male," Tov said in the article. "Because I share my life with a woman and have a family with her, to me this is the most natural thing to do."

She will dance with Dorit Milman, a heterosexual professional dancer, and each will take turns leading the dance, a traditionally male role in partner dancing.

The show, known as Rokdim Im Kokhavim in Israel, will launch its sixth season November 1.
