Rylee Arnold Reveals 1 Piece of Advice Sister Lindsay Gave Her About “DWTS” That Has Got Her ‘Through Everything’ (Exclusive)

Rylee Arnold, the 20-year-old pro dancer, has recently shared some valuable advice she received from her older sister Lindsay Arnold, who is a seasoned professional on Dancing With The Stars (DWTS). In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at the Dancing with the Stars Season 34 Post-Cast Reveal red carpet event on September 3, Rylee opened up about the significant guidance she has received from Lindsay, a 10-time DWTS competitor and a previous winner.

According to Rylee, the best piece of advice her sister gave her is to always stay true to herself and be authentically who she is. She emphasised the importance of being genuine, as it allows one to be the happiest version of themselves. This advice has resonated deeply with Rylee, who believes that staying true to oneself is key to success in any endeavour. Rylee’s partner for the upcoming season is Pentatonix singer Scott Hoying, who also commended Lindsay’s advice, stating that it has helped him immensely.

This season marks Rylee’s third appearance on DWTS, having made her television debut on Dancing with the Stars: Juniors in 2018. Her previous partner was American gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik, with whom she finished in fourth place. Partnering with Scott Hoying this season has been a surreal and amazing experience for Rylee, who expressed her admiration for the talented singer and her excitement at working with him.

Scott Hoying reciprocated the admiration, describing Rylee as the perfect partner and expressing his enthusiasm about their partnership. As a professional singer, Hoying admitted to feeling nervous about transitioning to ballroom dancing, citing the different challenges each art form presents. Despite the nerves, both Rylee and Scott are looking forward to showcasing their talents on the live show and giving their best performance.

In addition to her dancing career, Rylee candidly shared a personal moment on TikTok earlier this summer when she forgot to pack her insulin, which she uses to manage her Type 1 diabetes, for a flight. However, she reassured her fans that she was able to get the necessary medication upon landing, emphasising the importance of being prepared and staying safe while travelling.

As the anticipation builds for the premiere of Dancing with the Stars Season 34, fans can look forward to witnessing Rylee and Scott’s dynamic performances on the dance floor. With Rylee’s dedication, talent, and the sage advice from her sister Lindsay, the duo is poised to captivate viewers and leave a lasting impression throughout the season. Stay tuned for more updates on Rylee Arnold’s journey on the show, as she continues to shine alongside her celebrity partner Scott Hoying.
