Stephen Nedoroscik's dance partner, Rylee Arnold, expressed her joy after concluding the first day of the DWTS Tour 2025. The professionals and celebrity dancers opened the tour at Lyric Baltimore in Baltimore, Maryland, on January 9, 2025.
Nedoroscik and Arnold won hearts courtesy of their performances on the reality show, concluding their stint with a fourth-place finish. The Olympian then took the stage as the host of the DWTS Tour 2025 while the latter joined her fellow pro dancers to perform on the four-month-long tour.
Arnold danced a ballroom routine with rugby player Ilona Maher's dance partner Alan Bersten on the opening night, among other performances. On January 11, Arnold took to her Instagram to share a video montage of the inaugural night of the tour, offering glimpses of graceful stage performances, rehearsals, and off-stage fun with fellow dancers.
"Such a fun show!! last night was truly a dream. I’m so excited for the rest of tour let’s do this!!!" the 19-year-old's Instagram caption read.
Arnold recently posted another video on Instagram, featuring herself and Bersten performing in the ballroom while the audience showed support with their phone flashlights. In her caption, she thanked her best friend Ezra Sosa for making the moment possible.
"This was the most unforgettable experience thank you everybody this first show was actually so so amazing and THANK YOU @ezra.sosa seriously don’t know what I did to deserve you I LOVE YOU ❤️ so surreal and so special can’t wait for more shows," she captioned.
