Stephen Nedoroscik opened up about people's perception of his dance skills after he announced his participation in Dancing With the Stars. The American gymnast shared how people thought that he would be a naturally gifted dancer, considering his incredible gymnastics skills.

He expressed his thoughts in a Mythical Kitchen interview with Josh Scherer, released on November 7, 2024. There, he shared that the reality was completely the opposite, as he was scared to dance on such a huge platform with millions of people watching the show.

"Well, those people would be very wrong. I'm a very cowardly and scared dancer. Uh, but like, you know, I never would have imagined I'd be watched by millions of people dancing. Seriously, not in a million years would I have thought I found myself in these situations," he said.

Furthermore, Nedoroscik shared how right after winning the bronze medal at the Paris Olympics, he received many offers to pursue different opportunities; however, after closely evaluating all the opportunities with his team and agent, he decided to go ahead with Dancing with the Stars as it was something that he had never done before.
