Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro features Jenna Johnson and a contestant injury

ABC’s reality competition Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro aired its fourth episode on August 3, 2026, with two‑time Mirrorball champion Jenna Johnson joining as guest judge and mentor. The remaining eight couples performed the Rumba and Argentine Tango, and the lowest‑scoring pair faced elimination.

Earlier, on the July 27 episode, a rehearsal accident left contestant Natalie Jolley with a black eye and concussion after fellow dancer Stephani Sosa struck her in the face. Medical staff deemed Jolley unfit to continue, resulting in her immediate removal from the competition. The incident prompted comments from guest judge Britt Stewart about the importance of spatial awareness in group dance routines.
