Dancer Pasha Defends Duo's Repetitive Routines on 'Dancing with the Stars'

On the October 15th, 2025 episode of the popular dance competition show 'Dancing with the Stars', judge Carrie Ann expressed concerns about the repetitive nature of the duo's performances. She told the pair, "Some of your dances are starting to feel like I'm watching the same dance over and over again." Carrie Ann urged them to "try to give a little bit more variety as far as dynamics."

In response, the duo's professional dancer, Pasha, felt that Carrie Ann's criticism was "unfair." In an interview with Variety published on October 16th, 2025, the 39-year-old Pasha explained, "The thing is, we did have a quickstep and we had a jive this week. These are two dances that [are] very, very similar." He argued that if the dances had been "drastically different" but still felt the same, he would have understood Carrie Ann's feedback. However, given the nature of the routines they had performed, Pasha did not believe the criticism was warranted.

The duo's latest performance on the show paid tribute to Danielle's former co-star, William Daniels. Despite Carrie Ann's comments, Pasha remains confident in the duo's abilities and is committed to delivering engaging and diverse routines as the competition continues.
