Ezra Sosa: Trusting His Talent
Wed Feb 04 2026
In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with Dancing with the Stars pro Ezra Sosa! Ezra reflects on this past season and how it finally gave him the opportunity to fully showcase his talent for both dance and choreography, including the story behind his freestyle dance and what that piece meant to him personally. He opens up about what it was like partnering with Olympian Jordan Chiles, navigating the intense scrutiny and hate on social media, and the boundaries he’s learned to set online to protect his peace. Ezra also shares how he keeps his love for dance alive despite the pressure, what mental health looks like for him while on tour, and the advice older pros gave him that stayed with him. He opens up about being a queer performer, honoring both his masculine and feminine sides, and how he stays grounded in who he is within an industry that often expects you to look, act, and dress a certain way.
