A source says DWTS pro dancer Daniella Karagach is recovering after sustaining an injury during a Live Tour performance in Riverside, California.
Daniella Karagach is on the verge of recovery after sustaining injuries during her performance on the Dancing With the Stars Live Tour. Daniella has been one of the fans' favorite pro dancers since her first year on the dance competition TV series. The New York native, who is married to fellow DWTS pro Pasha Pashkov, joined the ABC competition in 2019 as a troupe member. The following season, she partnered with rapper Nelly, and they made it to the finals.
Daniella has been a fantastic performer from her first day on DWTS. She and Iman Shumpert walked away with the Mirrorball in season 30. The NBA star gushed over their victory and Daniella's teachings. Iman said his name would get talked about so much after his Mirrorball victory, adding that he couldn't have had a better coach or made a better friend than Daniella. It is no secret that Daniella's impressive moves have earned her a place in fans' hearts. Hence, viewers couldn't wait to see what she had in store for them during the DWTS 2022 Live Tour. However, things didn't go as many would have expected.
Daniella sustained an injury on Wednesday, March 16, while she and Iman were performing across the United States. A rep for the touring production told Us Weekly Daniella suffered the injury mid-performance in Riverside, California. The tour rep revealed that Daniella was immediately tended to by an on-tour physio before being transferred to a local hospital for treatment. The rep also said the Mirrorball champ "is resting now and receiving excellent care," adding that "the entire cast and crew is wishing her a speedy recovery."
Daniella's injury had a lasting effect on her as she revealed via Instagram that she would not be performing for the rest of the tour. Daniella wrote, "was definitely not the way I thought tour would end but I'm grateful for the time I had. This was truly a special experience for me and I've had the best time being a part of this immensely talented cast." Daniella continued her lengthy post by noting how she loves her fans and is sure that they will "keep kicking ass!!" She also thanked her fans for their love, kindness, and support. The 29-year-old ended her caption by writing, "Dancing for you guys was exhilarating. Im so grateful."
Daniella's injury marks a difficult moment for her and her numerous fans who were looking forward to her captivating dance moves on the Live Tour. However, those dreams have been cut short. Despite the setback, it is good news that Daniella has begun her recovery. Her Instagram post shows she has taken all that has happened in stride and is grateful for her experiences on the tour. Hopefully, the professional dancer will make a quick recovery from her injury and get in shape ahead of more dancing tours and probably the next season of Dancing With The Stars.
