65: “Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro Tell All | Gin & Chat with Stephani Sosa”

We told you this would be our most iconic episode yet, and we meant it! This week we're joined by the incredibly talented Stephani Sosa — ballroom dancer, Utah native, and one of the 12 hopefuls competing on the brand new spin-off "Dancing With The Stars: The Next Pro"!

We start things off with Stephani's upbringing and what it was really like growing up in Utah, both the beautiful parts and the unexpected challenges of building a dance career from there. Then we get into something truly special: her bond with her brother Ezra Sosa, a current pro on DWTS, and just how meaningful their relationship has been throughout her entire journey. Stephani opens up about the road it took to land a spot on The Next Pro and what this opportunity means to her after years of hard work behind the scenes.

Of course, we couldn't let her leave without spilling the tea on what it was ACTUALLY like living with the other 11 contestants in the house, plus the truth behind some of the toughest challenges the show doesn't show you. And since episode 1 just aired this week, Stephani gives us her honest, unfiltered deep dive into everything that went down.

This one is inspiring, emotional, and packed with the kind of behind-the-scenes tea you won't get anywhere else!
