Over the years, Dancing With the Stars contestants and professionals have dealt with their fair share of health scares while participating on the show.
In March 2022, Daniella Karagach was injured during her time on the Dancing With the Stars Live 2022 tour. The dancer, who was partnered up with Iman Shumpert, sustained the injury during a performance in Riverside, California. Karagach later took to social media to confirm that she would be sitting out the rest of the tour.
Karagach isn’t the only one who has dealt with health issues after performing on Dancing With the Stars. Elaine Hendrix sustained an injury during dress rehearsal for season 34’s Halloween Night episode, needing to sit out of the October 2025 live show.
“Halloween is my favorite and I’m devastated,” Hendrix said in a social media video that night. “I was beyond excited to share what we had worked so hard on, although you’ll see a version of it. With your support, I’ll be back in the ballroom next week. I want nothing more.”
Hendrix and her pro partner, Alan Bersten, were judged on rehearsal footage and ultimately earned enough votes to continue in the competition the next week.
