DWTS Dancer's Pants Mishap Nearly Ruined Routine
3 Nov
Summary
- A dancer forgot to remove rip-away pants during rehearsal.
- The High School Musical team dance earned perfect scores.
- Jenna Johnson suggested the rip-away pants concept.

On a recent episode of Dancing With the Stars, the "High School Musical"-themed team dance featured contestants Ezra Frech and Connor Wood, among others. The performance, which earned perfect 10s, included a memorable moment where the male dancers ripped off their pants to reveal "D-W-T-S" emblazoned on their underwear.
Frech exclusively shared that during rehearsals, Wood nearly caused a wardrobe malfunction by forgetting to tear off his rip-away pants. This oversight happened during camera blocking, and it was only a reminder from his fellow contestants that prompted him to remove them.
The creative concept for the rip-away pants was reportedly suggested by Jenna Johnson, the partner of Harry Shum Jr. Frech also highlighted his and his partner Daniella Karagach's individual samba performance to "Under the Sea," expressing pride in overcoming self-imposed limitations to achieve it.
