Influencer Alix Earle Battles Bruises and Tumbles in DWTS Rehearsals

As the third episode of the current season of Dancing with the Stars approaches, influencer Alix Earle is hard at work behind the scenes, preparing for the show's special "TikTok Night" theme on September 30th. Earle and her professional dance partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, have been pushing themselves to the limit in rehearsals, attempting challenging technical moves like a two-person cartwheel.

However, the pair's efforts have not come without a price. Earle has revealed the physical toll the intense rehearsals have taken on her body, including bruises on her collarbone and even a lost toenail. Despite these setbacks, the duo remains determined to deliver an impressive performance for the upcoming episode.

In a video posted to Earle's TikTok account, the pair can be seen struggling with the technical cartwheel, with Chmerkovskiy at one point going flying over Earle's head. While the falls were dramatic, the two dancers maintained a good-natured attitude, laughing as they recovered on the floor.

Earle and Chmerkovskiy will be competing against a lineup of fellow social media stars, including Charli D'Amelio, who previously won the 31st season of Dancing with the Stars. As the competition heats up, fans can expect to see Earle and Chmerkovskiy push themselves to new heights, despite the physical challenges they face.
