Fans Hope DWTS Cast Member Gets a Full-Time Spot on Season 33

ABC Ezra Sosa loved dancing as a pro.

For the first time in his career with “Dancing With the Stars,” Ezra Sosa took the lead as a pro, stepping in for Artem Chigvintsev who couldn’t compete on week 2 of season 32 due to illness.

Sosa worked with Chigvintsev’s partner, “Bachelorette” star Charity Lawson, on a Cha Cha that earned them a score of 21 out of 30 — just one point lower than Lawson’s season 32 debut. After the dance was over and Lawson was deemed safe heading in to week 3, Sosa shared a post about his first time taking on the pro role.

“Even though these circumstances were incredibly tough im so blessed we crossed paths. the moment we met i felt your pain and stress and new immediately to be there for you in every step of this process. I also knew deep down we’d hit it off right away and we’d have an amazing time together,” he captioned an Instagram post on October 5, 2023.

“To be a pro for the first time was a dream come true but to have you for the first and maybe only time I get to do this made my dream better than i could ever imagine. All I did was help you see what i saw the whole time. I very strong and powerful Capricorn with an insane amount of dedication and conviction. I am so proud and can’t wait to cheer you on the rest of your journey on @dancingwiththestars. you got this TRULY,” he added.
