Dancing With the Stars’ Ezra Frech Reveals Hilarious Issue With the Rip-Away Pants


Well, the Wildcats definitely didn’t stick to the status quo with their team dance—and they have Shum’s partner Jenna Johnson to thank for the idea of stripping down onstage.

“Jenna was like, ‘I think we should do rip-aways,'” Karagach told E!. “Genius.” 

In addition to starting something new with the HSM routine, Frech and Karagach were also proud of their individual dance, performing a samba to “Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid.

“The limits we sometimes place on ourselves are—they’re self they’re self imposed limits,” Frech explained. “For us, like we literally thought this was off the table. No way we could do a samba. And the more she understood the mechanics of the prosthetic, the more comfortable we felt with each other, and the more we just tried things, we’re like, maybe we could make this happen.”

“So, for it to come full circle, for us to put together that dance,” the 21-year-old added, “I can’t believe that happened.”
