Rylee Arnold Returns to DWTS Tour With Adjusted Schedule

Arnold, who joined the show as a pro in 2023, previously described the difficulty of balancing rigorous touring demands with the challenges of diabetes management. Reflecting on her earlier decision to sit out, she noted that the physical toll of constant travel made it necessary to pause. Now, she views the condensed dates as a sustainable path forward that allows her to maintain her professional career without compromising her well-being.

Beyond her own return, Arnold is advocating for her current celebrity partner, comedian Connor Wood, to join the tour for select dates. The duo, currently competing in season 35, recently garnered attention for a rumba performance during Mariah Carey Night that included an impromptu dance move Wood learned from performers at a Florida club. While the official celebrity lineup remains unannounced, Arnold remains optimistic that Wood will be part of the experience as she prepares to return to the ballroom stage.
