Stephen Nedoroscik noted that he and his dance partner Rylee Arnold were in sync even after the conclusion of Dancing With the Stars. The pair came fresh off taking fourth place at the DWTS season 33.
Olympic pommel horse bronze medalist, Nedoroscik and his dance partner Arnold produced some impressive performances at DWTS, especially the Halloween Night act that earned them their first-ever perfect 10. They advanced to the semi-finals after stellar routines on Oscar Night, Soul Train, Hair Metal nights, and others, and then to the finale after a cha cha and tango.
In the finale, they redid the quickstep from the show's third round and won hearts and full scores on their last freestyle performance. After DWTS ended, Stephen Nedoroscik shifted to preparing for his next stint as a co-host at the Dancing With the Stars: Live! 2025 Tour.
Arnold recently posted an Instagram story chronicling her practice day with Nedoroscik and lunch with her boyfriend, Walker Lyons. She started the video with an in-car clip and then introduced Stephen Nedoroscik in the rehearsal hall.
Listing the day's schedule, when Arnold said:
"First on the agenda is getting me and Stephen's def practice and done."
When she said 'Let's go', the Olympian echoed the words and wondered how they were still in sync.
"We're still in sync."
The dancing pair then practiced, followed by lunch with Arnold's boyfriend Walker Lyons.
