Daniella Karagach on 'Dancing With The Stars' 2026

Dancing with the Stars fans recently expressed concern for pro dancer Daniella Karagach, who is currently performing on the show’s live tour. Karagach posted a photo of herself getting an IV drip, sharing that she spent time in the hospital.

Daniella Karagach Sparks Concern from DWTS Fans

On Wednesday, a fan on the DWTS subreddit posted that they were concerned about Daniella Karagach, who apparently hasn’t been participating in meet and greets on the show’s current live tour. They added that Karagach recently posted a photo of herself with an IV in the hospital.

The image in question was part of a photo dump Karagach posted on Instagram this past weekend — including several shots with her husband and fellow pro Pasha Pashkov, as well as their daughter Nikita. When someone in the comments of Karagach’s post questioned the IV photo, the dancer confirmed she had been in the hospital.

Karagach wrote that she had “sat in the emergency room for 6 hours,” adding a crying emoji. In another reply, she wrote that she “had a not so fun trip to the ER.” This seems to contradict fan theories on Reddit and Instagram that Karagach had gotten the IV to keep her energy up during the tour.

Are the Tour’s Pros Dealing with Illness?

Several DWTS pros are currently on tour together, and it sounds like some of them might be dealing with illness. A fan on Reddit posted that they had read a TikTok comment claiming that “Dani, Pasha, and Emma [Slater] were sick this past week.”

Another fan pointed out that the “tour is brutal on the dancers,” as they usually perform between six and eight shows per week and only get one day off. They added, “Every year they just make it longer too! The dancers deserve better.”

Dates for the tour, which features several special guests, are currently lined up into May of this year.
