Lauren Betts wants Dancing with the Stars spot after moves during UCLAs championship run go viral

Lauren Betts’ feet helped UCLA win its first-ever NCAA women’s basketball championship on Sunday.Now, she’s hoping they might just land her a spot on a prestigious TV competition show.Betts, who went viral last month for a choreographed routine she and two of her teammates consistently hit throughout the Bruins’ run to the 2026 title, told the California Post on Thursday that if “Dancing with the Stars” producers offered her a spot on the program’s next season, she’d take it.“Oh, yes,” Betts said as she worked a ceremonial shift at a Raising Cane’s in Hollywood.“Oh, my God.
