While fans are excited to see some of their favorites DWTS personalities on stage, Rylee Arnold I will not participate in the party. Last month, the 20-year-old explained why she chose not to take part in the tour.
“I’m so sad I won’t be on the DWTS tour this year,” she explained via her Instagram Stories after the initial pro roster was revealed. “Being on tour for the last two years has truly been the most incredible experience ever. Made the best memories and met the best people.”
Arnold continued, “This year I had to make the difficult decision to not participate and focus on my health, especially managing my Type 1 diabetes, which can be tricky on the road. I will miss it so much, but I will definitely be cheering everyone on and looking forward to coming and watching.”
Sosa, 25, publicly supported Arnold at the time, writing in his own Instagram Story: “The decision you made to prioritize your health is such a strong and mature decision, and honestly, I admire it so much. It takes a lot of courage to do that in this industry, and I hope you know how inspiring it is. … I always love you. 💖.”
Since his elimination from season 34 with partner Scott Hoyingrumors were circulating that Arnold would not return to the DWTS ballroom at all – but she quickly put an end to the speculation.
“I really feel pressure, [and] I think with every dance I do [choreographing] it must be good. I feel like I have to introduce myself,” she said on Julianne HoughIt is The next day’s show earlier this month. “There have been a lot of things this year [and] people say I won’t come back next season…or people say I don’t know how to teach or do these things. I’m trying to understand this [is] just noise.
Rylee – whose sister Lindsay Arnold participated in 10 seasons of DWTS ahead of its 2021 release – explained: “We don’t know if we’ll be on the show until the summer. I would love to do another season – if not several more seasons – if they want me there. I think hearing that sound of [different] sources that probably aren’t even true, it’s super, super hard. … [I am] I just stay in my lane and do my best.
