Get To Know Pro Dancer Rylee Arnold, The DWTS Season 32 Newcomer

Little sisters always want to be like their big sisters, and sometimes those dreams come true. Long-time fans of “Dancing With the Stars” will recognize Rylee Arnold’s last name — big sister Lindsay Arnold was a professional dancer on the show for over 15 seasons, not to mention one of the internet’s favorite “DWTS” pros. There’s an 11-year age gap between the siblings, so when Lindsay started on “DWTS” when she was 19, Arnold was only 8 years old, and already training to be just like her big sister.

“I literally grew up going to all the tapings of ‘Dancing With the Stars,’” Arnold shared with “Good Morning America.”  At age 13, she got her first taste of pairing with a celebrity when she was the “professional” partner in the first season of “Dancing With the Stars: Juniors.” The kid couples were paired with a pro-dancer mentor from the adult version of the show and Lindsay, having just won Season 25 of “DWTS,” served as their guide.

For Arnold’s premiere on “Dancing With the Stars” in September 2023, her dancing sibling was in the audience, cheering her on. She offered up support and kudos to her baby sister via Instagram, writing, “Can’t even put into words how proud I am of this beautiful girl.”
