GLAAD just dropped some major glitter-bomb news: Ezra Sosa is officially shimmying his way into the ranks of Dancing with the Stars as a full-blown pro dancer this season! Yes, the 23-year-old twinkle-toed sensation is ready to cha-cha into the limelight, and we’re all about to witness his rise from the dance troupe shadows to center stage.
Now, let’s rewind to 2021. Ezra sashayed into DWTS as part of the dance troupe — basically the backup dancers who make your favorite celebs look less like flailing giraffes. But Ezra was so good, he might have stolen the spotlight from time to time. His moves were so smooth, the floor practically thanked him for gracing it. So naturally, the DWTS gods were like, “Okay, we need this guy to headline!”
And guess what? His celeb partner will be revealed tomorrow on GMA! Yes, that’s right—cue the suspenseful music and excessive glitter explosions.
Ezra’s journey to becoming a pro wasn’t just about pirouettes and jazz hands. Oh no. It was about something even more powerful—coming out and embracing his full fruitiness. “When I first joined the show, I felt like an imposter,” Ezra said, probably while doing a flawless pirouette just because he can. “I wasn’t out yet, and I was like, ‘Can I really be this fabulous and still not let my inner rainbow flag fly?’”
Spoiler alert: he totally could. “It wasn’t until this year that I realized the power—the power—of being fruity and just truly being yourself,” Ezra declared, probably while sparkles rained down from the heavens and a chorus of unicorns sang in harmony.
And if you think you haven’t seen him on the dance floor as a pro before, think again! Last year, Ezra did a sneak preview when he stepped in as Charity Lawson’s partner for a hot minute when Artem Chigvintsev called in sick. It was like, “Oh, you’re missing a pro dancer? No problem, here’s a backup who’s basically Beyoncé with better dance moves.”
So, stay tuned for tomorrow, when Ezra’s celebrity partner is revealed. Will they keep up with Ezra’s moves, or will they just try to hold on for dear life? Either way, it’s going to be a glittery, fabulous ride!
