The official Instagram page of "Dancing with the Stars" supported Arnold's move as they reposted her video with the caption:

"Let's Goooo!!"

Arnold's story came only hours after Nedoroscik's Instagram post gained buzz online for his pommel horse routine. The American routine performed a Busnari move over the pommel horse, as he wrote:

"Busnari in the ballroom‼️‼️ Surprised myself by making one cuz I haven’t trained this skill since May 😅!! Definitely not part of the dance routine, but man it feels nice to swing some horse 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Huge shoutout to @spiethgymnastics for helping us get a Pommel Horse here!"

Rylee Arnold has been associated with 'Dancing with the Stars' for a long time. She had finished as a runner up for the junior version, alongside child actor Miles Brown, in 2018. Arnold finished sixth with media personality Harry Jowsey in the previous season held in 2023.
