As a long-time fan of Dancing With The Stars, I must say that this season has been particularly exciting for me. With athletes like Stephen Nedoroscik and Ilona Maher gracing our screens, it feels like a reunion of sorts with old friends.
Season 33 of “Dancing with the Stars” is currently airing within the 2024 TV schedule, boasting a celebrity cast that engages audiences not just on television but also on social media platforms like TikTok. Numerous dancers and contestants are consistently active on TikTok, providing fans with additional backstage content to enjoy. To the delight of many viewers, one of the most popular duos on the app is Rylee Arnold and America’s beloved male gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik, who recently shared a humorous video revealing what competitors do during their warm-ups.
Known endearingly as “Pommel-Horse Guy,” Stephen Nedoroscik left 2024 Olympic spectators in awe with his unique talent of mastering the pommel-horse using only the sense of touch through his hands. It was thrilling news when this champion was announced to be a part of the 2024 cast for Dancing with the Stars, teamed up with Rylee Arnold. After just one week, they had already become strong contenders. To give fans a glimpse into their preparation process, they released a video showcasing their routine-readying techniques, both on stage and horseback. Enjoy the enchanting video below:

The video opens as the athlete demonstrates a technique for preserving rotation momentum, a crucial aspect of his gymnastics performances, to his partner using a stool. Essentially, this involves spinning oneself in mid-air without touching the ground with one’s feet. They share a laugh before transitioning into dance warm-ups on their feet, which the Olympian had jokingly expressed his eagerness to explore after spending the previous month practicing spins only while hanging upside down.
I really appreciate this pair because they manage to keep things light and entertaining, yet remain focused on the task at hand. They engage in playful antics like creating TikTok videos, but when it’s time to buckle down, as evidenced by their impressive third-place finish during the first week among 15 competitors, they deliver solid results. It’s worth mentioning that they aren’t alone in participating in online trends, but their heartwarming friendship truly shines and attracts a significant audience to their platforms.
More on Dancing with the Stars
Revisiting Dancing with the Stars after a long hiatus stirred up a wave of nostalgia in me. However, one aspect of it resonates with me even more profoundly now.
2024 U.S. Bronze Medalist Ilona Maher is participating in Dancing With the Stars this season and frequently shares content on TikTok too. This isn’t unusual for the Olympian, who shared updates about daily life in the Paris Olympic village with her followers, including encounters like meeting Team USA correspondent Snoop Dogg. In just a week, she has already collaborated with NBA player Dwight Howard and The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei on videos.
I would love to see both Ilona Maher and Stephen Nedoroscik employ their respective athletic abilities in their dance routines. It’d be cool if Maher lifted her partner, Alan Bersten, into the air like one of her teammates, and there have already been calls for the gymnastics “Superman” to show off his pommel skills by break dancing. I’m so excited to see how they do this season. We already know they can win Olympic medals, and I can’t wait to see who dances their way to a Mirrorball Trophy!
In the interim, I’d like to express my appreciation to Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold for providing insights into their warm-up practices. Here’s hoping they continue sharing entertaining content on TikTok in the future. Don’t forget to tune in to see them, along with other dancing pairs, on “Dancing with the Stars,” which airs every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST on ABC. You can also stream the show via Disney+ if you have a subscription.
