Dancing with the Stars” (DWTS) has recently made several important announcements for its 33rd season, the most prominent news being Ezra Sosa’s promotion as a pro dancer.

Ezra, previously known as a troupe member on the show, will participate in the competition this time with a celebrity partner. This is a big step for him as he becomes the first Latin pro dancer after a decade in DWTS history.

Ezra Sosa debuted as a pro dancer for one episode in Season 32 of DWTS when he replaced Artem Chigvintsev due to being COVID-19 positive. Now, he has established himself as a pro on the show. This announcement is also very important for him personally, because on the stage of the DWTS he first received acceptance in his true form.

Ezra said he could not believe the news when he received this call from DWTS producers. He says that only when he meets his celebrity partner and steps on the dance floor will he realize the truth that all this is really happening.

Along with this, Artem Chigvintsev, a former DWTS pro dancer, will not be part of this season of the show. The news comes after Artem’s recent arrest, in which he was allegedly accused of domestic violence. Amid this controversy, DWTS decided not to include him for the season.

After Ezra turned pro he has received congratulations from many members and fans of DWTS. He says that this first season will not just be for him but also for all the people who helped him get here. He said, ” I will express my gratitude for the love, support and trust of all of them with every step.”

Ezra Sosa’s journey is inspiring and it will be interesting to see how he showcases his dancing skills this season. Season 33 of DWTS will premiere on ABC and Disney+ on September 17, 2024, in which viewers will be able to see him and other contestants light up the dance floor.
