The Dancing pro took to social media on January 23, sharing that he had a “breakdown” during the tour’s opening show in Akron, Ohio, the night before. He was performing for the iconic reality competition’s kick-off of a 70-stop live tour throughout North America.


Ezra Sosa posted a video of himself shaking his head and putting his face in his palm. The 25-year-old dancer wrote, “having a breakdown during intermission because I kept messing up our first show on tour.” The professional dancer wrote a caption with the clip, “I'm genuinely so upset with myself, I'll be better for you guys.”
