Dancing With the Stars' Emma Slater Details Rehearsal Ankle Injury

As a seasoned observer of the world of entertainment and dance, I must say that this year’s Dancing with the Stars lineup is nothing short of captivating! From Hollywood heavyweights to reality TV stars, these celebrities have surely brought their A-game.


Emma Slater has evacuated the dance floor. 

In the third week of season 33, both the professional dancer and her celebrity partner Reginald VelJohnson were eliminated from “Dancing With the Stars“. Unfortunately, due to an injury she sustained, the 35-year-old dancer won’t be able to perform in the ensemble for the show’s episode on October 15.

In a video posted on her Instagram Story on October 14th, Emma explained, “Today, something occurred,” she said, displaying one of her ankles bandaged up. “This is my left ankle. I was practicing; we had a full rehearsal this morning.

And while she isn’t one to have two left feet, she detailed how the mishap went down. 

She explained, “I’ve just stepped out from an elevator mishap.” She felt it was alright initially, but evidently, she didn’t land perfectly since her foot touched the ground, causing her to tumble over.

Later, Emma revealed that she would be using crutches temporarily, without divulging the specifics of her medical condition.

She shared that she underwent an MRI this morning and discovered some minor swelling. It’s not too bad, but it could be better or worse. However, she feels optimistic about her recovery, hoping to heal quickly!

The professional dancer, a member of Dancing With the Stars since 2012, also reassured everyone that she wasn’t experiencing any physical discomfort, even though she felt let down due to her inability to perform the dance.

Emma stated in her October 15 Instagram post, “Everything is fine, I’ll be returning soon.” She shared a selfie with her fellow professional, Britt Stewart, taken at the hospital. Originally, she thought she would dance with her eliminated pro friends, but unfortunately, she was also eliminated from that group. So, she plans to spend some time relaxing on the couch with Reginald Vel Johnson instead.

Later, Emma proved she’s maintaining a positive attitude in a subsequent post. 

She wrote, “She indicated that they planned to delay it for tonight,” accompanied by a video showcasing her crutches. “I replied with gratitude, but I couldn’t help but decline. Best of luck to all my friends participating tonight.

Season 33 could prove challenging for Emma, yet she isn’t alone in giving her all on the dance floor and missing out on the Mirrorball trophy. In fact, dancers like Anna Delvey with partner Ezra Sosa, Tori Spelling and pro partner Pasha Pashkov, as well as Eric Roberts and Britt have also experienced this setback.
