Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars continues to slay. During the semi-finals, which happened to be Prince Night, the contestants hoped to dance their way into the finale. However, a behind-the-scenes interaction between Dylan Efron and his partner, Daniella Karagach, caught fans by surprise.
Of course, Dylan, who came on DWTS with zero dance or performance experience, has had quite the journey. He suffered a broken nose during rehearsals, but continued to perform. He has improved steadily every week and made it into the Season 34 finale. So, what happened when Daniella seemed to brush off her partner?
Daniella Karagach shut down rumors she ignored DWTS partner Dylan Efron
A fan’s TikTok video showed Dylan going in for a hug during a break in filming. However, Daniella walked by him without speaking to him. “What was that? Intentional or did she not just see?” the TikTok user captioned the clip.
Welp, Daniella posted a relatable excuse in the comments. “Not you catching me on a mission to pick my wedgie. So embarrassing,” she wrote with some laughing emojis. I guess it’s not all glitz and glamour in the ballroom.
Meanwhile, Dylan’s brother, actor Zac Efron, was in the ballroom to root for his brother. And Dylan and Daniella posted a TikTok to her page, reacting to being voted through to the finale. “I’m so happy we made it – we’re in the finale,” Dylan said with a grin. “We made it to the end, like we got the full experience.”
And Daniella, who was jumping in the background, was thrilled. “We freaking did it!” the DWTS pro exclaimed, before thanking their fans. “And it’s because of you guys. You guys are the freaking best,” Daniella said. “Thank you so much for keeping us here.”
So, how do you celebrate making it to the Season 34 finale? With six double cheeseburgers. “It’s a party,” Daniella added.
Dancing with the Stars airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC and Disney+. It streams on Hulu the next day.
