Shaw replaces Dina Pugliese, who left BT earlier this year to spend more time with her family.

“It is my pleasure to step into this new role, a real dream come true,” Shaw said. “From the moment I met Sid, I knew we could talk about anything, laugh about anything, and, most of all, be honest with each other and the audience. I’m so thankful for his support throughout this process and can’t wait to see those iconic Seixeiro dance moves in person. Cheers to a big new adventure. I’m so grateful and so ready.”
