“One of my biggest dreams” - Stephen Nedoroscik’s dance partner Rylee Arnold pens heartfelt note ahead of DWTS milestone night

Stephen Nedoroscik’s dancer partner Rylee Arnold recently penned a heartfelt note ahead of the Dancing With The Stars (DWTS) milestone night. The American dance reality show will celebrate its 500th episode on Tuesday.

For the milestone episode, contestants will honor memorable routines performed by past edition's performers. Nedoroscik and Arnold will pay tribute to Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas’ season 31 performance to Joji’s "Glimpse of Us" with a Viennese Waltz.

The second round is expected to be particularly challenging for all contestants as it will feature an "Instant Dance Challenge." In the round, contestants will have to learn the dance style that they will perform just five minutes before taking the stage.

Ahead of the milestone night which will mark the 500th episode of the DWTS, the professional dancer and choreographer Rylee Arnold shared a heartfelt note on competing during the historic night. Sharing it on her Instagram via a post, she wrote:

“It’s the 500th episode on @dancingwiththestars tonight!!! Been watching this show since I was a little girl so it is so surreal being a part of this episode tonight! Truly fulfilling one of my biggest dreams 🥹❤️‍🔥”

The 19-year-old further expressed her pride in dance partner and two-time Olympic bronze medalist Stephen Nedoroscik, writing:

“STEPHEN!!! I’m so proud of you and how hard you have worked on this dance! You continue to impress and inspire me everyday and I love teaching you dance!!! We got this tonight it’s going to be a fun one 🫶🏼✨”

Notably, Nedoroscik joined DWTS as a contestant in its 33rd season following his achievements at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he not only contributed to the USA team’s bronze medal in the men’s all-around but also earned an individual bronze in the pommel horse event. His 'resting face' meme also went viral online, boosting his fame.
