Rylee Arnold Shuts Down Dwts Exit Rumors With Passionate Response - BABEOfficial 2025

Rylee Arnold's Dance Floor Determination

Rylee Arnold isn't ready to hang up her dancing shoes just yet! The talented pro from Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) is clearing the air about swirling rumors of her departure. Despite the criticism she faced during season 34, Rylee is determined to keep dancing her heart out.

In a candid chat with Julianne Hough on The Morning After (Show) on November 19, Rylee tackled the rumors head-on. "There’s been a lot of things this year," she shared, "people saying that I’m not coming back next season, that I’m not gonna be asked back, or people saying I don’t know how to teach."

"Online hate is just noise," Rylee remarked, emphasizing her focus on what truly matters – her passion for dance and teaching.

Future Hopes and Dancing Dreams

While the future remains uncertain until the summertime, Rylee's enthusiasm for DWTS is unwavering. "I would absolutely love to do another season—if not a bunch of more seasons—in my life, if they want me there," she expressed. Her journey on the show began in 2023 during season 32, after showcasing her skills on Dancing With the Stars: Juniors in 2018.

Rylee's latest season saw her partner with Scott Hoying, though their journey ended during the Wicked-themed episode on October 21. Despite some online chatter attributing their exit to her inexperience, Rylee remains undeterred.

The Financial Side of DWTS

Curious about the paycheck behind the glitz and glamour? Well, DWTS contestants reportedly start with $125,000 for rehearsals and the first couple of weeks, with potential earnings reaching $295,000 as they progress, according to Variety. And while Bobby Bones, who took home the trophy in season 27, claimed he pocketed even more, the network hasn't confirmed these figures.

For the pros, it's a similar story. They earn more the longer they stay in the competition, but winning doesn't guarantee a bigger payday. Still, making it to the finale comes with its own perks, including bonuses.

Behind the Scenes: Pairings and Practice

Ever wonder how the stars and pros are paired? It's all about height, build, and personality. Former showrunner Rob Wade emphasized the importance of compatibility, "We don't pair people who aren't going to get on. It's too intense."

Rehearsals are no joke either. Pros like Rylee dedicate countless hours to perfecting their routines, with daily four-hour sessions. "Literally my whole life is devoted to it," Rylee shared, underscoring her commitment to the craft she loves.

Costume Magic and Dance Beats

The fashion on DWTS is nothing short of spectacular. Costume designers work tirelessly, with a mere five days to craft each outfit. It's a whirlwind of creativity and dedication, ensuring every dance is a visual treat.

So, while Rylee Arnold may face her share of critics, her passion and determination shine brighter than ever. With her sights set on more seasons of DWTS, one thing's for sure – she's not done dazzling us on the dance floor just yet!
