Dancing With The Stars will return to the 2025 TV schedule later this 12 months, and whereas Daniella Karagach would not formally know if she’ll be part of it, I personally hope to see her return. Her run with former NBA star Dwight Howard final season was arguably as iconic as her win with Iman Shumpert, and it looks like being paired with NBA stars is turning into her factor.
I spoke with Karagach about working with two NBA legends and what it is prefer to work with dancer companions who’re 6’5 “and 6’10” whereas being solely 5’5″. In that dialog, she talked about her time as Howard’s accomplice, and the humorous factor she instructed him after but once more having to choreograph a season with somebody a lot taller than her:
I instructed Dwight final season. I used to be like, ‘If ever anybody out of your group or anybody desires to be on the present, please by all means go on the present. Simply give me a second to breathe and like get again to my regular posture.’ Stretching all season is sort of exhausting, however yeah, I do not know why [I get paired with tall athletes].
Regardless of the peak distinction, Daniella Karagach and Dwight Howard had a fairly good run in Dancing With The Stars Season 33. They finally ended up with a seventh place end, however did have a stand-out dance on the Halloween present that also sends shivers down my backbone now:
Watch On
The swinging a part of that dance is all the time so spectacular to me, as a result of how will you put that a lot belief in an newbie dancer? I would not belief myself to swing anybody round like that, however Dwight Howard is quite a bit stronger than me, so I am certain he wasn’t sweating it an excessive amount of.
Dancing With The Stars could pair Daniella Karagach with one other athlete, however the professional hasn’t been sweating it. She talked about why she’s not bothered about working with towering professional athletes, and the way she’s even managed to befriend some after the present:
I do not know why it is me, however you already know what? I really like a problem, and humorous sufficient, all of them change into like one in all my greatest buddies. I imply, Dwight was actually over final week along with his canine, so it is simply, it builds bonds and for some purpose I simply get together with them, you already know. I assume the personalities matched.
To date, we solely know Alix Earle can be in Dancing With The Stars Season 34, and Robert Irwin is within the combine as nicely. That mentioned, Daniella Karagach could not need to quit on stretching simply but as a result of there’s already discuss of getting former NFL star and Good Morning America host Michael Strahan within the season.
Whereas I need not see her work with one other athlete, I’d like to see Daniella Karagach and her husband, Pasha Pashkov, on Dancing With The Stars Season 34. Past the truth that it is all the time enjoyable to see married execs compete in opposition to one another on the ABC actuality collection, I feel Karagach delivers a number of the most persistently entertaining choreography on the collection.
We’re nonetheless ready on the official casting reveal for Dancing With The Stars Season 34, which ought to occur sooner or later in August forward of the brand new episodes. Hopefully, it is as enjoyable because the previous couple of seasons, which had some surprising eliminations and wild routines.
Count on to see Dancing With The Stars Season 34 on ABC this fall. I am certain we’ll have an concept of who the solid is earlier than the summer time is over, and may solely maintain an eye fixed out for extra clues of who’s going to have a shot on the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy!
