Stephen Nedoroscik penned an emotional note of gratitude after the conclusion of the Dancing With the Stars Tour. The American gymnast wrote about the intricacies of participating and co-hosting the Dancing With the Stars Tour. He thanked Rylee Arnold for being an amazing dance partner and a great friend since he began his journey on DWTS.

As the Dancing With the Stars Tour of the season concluded, all the artists who featured in the live shows expressed their thoughts on social media about the incredible journey that spanned 108 days. Nedoroscik embarked on the journey of Dancing with the Stars after the Paris Olympics and expressed how he had no prior experience in the professional dancing space.

He was paired with Arnold, and they put forward great performances in the Dancing With the Stars season and even performed duets during the DWTS Tour. However, Arnold's journey was cut short due to an ankle injury, and she could not perform in the last few shows of the tour.

Stephen Nedoroscik expressed his gratitude on Instagram for receiving the opportunity to participate with Rylee Arnold and hoped that they would get a chance to perform their last dance together sometime in the future.

Arnold responded to Nedoroscik's farewell message with a sweet note. She called herself 'lucky' for receiving the opportunity to be paired with the gymnast in Dancing With the Stars.

"STEPHEN!!! You made the tour!!! I’m so proud of you and was just so lucky that I was paired with you for this era and season of our lives 🥹🫶🏼" she wrote.

Stephen Nedoroscik spoke about being paired with Rylee Arnold in the 33rd season of Dancing With the Stars in an interview with Joe Vulpis. The American gymnast shared how they were both similar in many ways and had the same energy.

Moreover, Nedoroscik felt a little embarrassed initially as it took him some time to learn the dance steps, as it was the first time that he was doing it professionally. Despite the initial struggles, he revealed that Arnold was patient with him, which in turn motivated him to put forward his best effort.

"I'm so lucky cause I got Rylee paired at me, and we have like very similar energy, so like immediately I was a little embarassed, cause I won't pick up on the steps very fast, but like she saw how motivated I was, and like I was like if I'm doing this, I'm going all out," he said.

Eventually, as Nedoroscik got used to dancing with back-to-back performances every week, he was able to overcome his insecurities.
