Ezra Frech impresses on Dancing With the Stars

Paralympian Ezra Frech is gaining significant attention on season 35 of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars. Frech, who competes using a prosthetic, has exceeded producer expectations with his performance alongside professional partner Daniella Karagach.

During the upcoming Dedication Night on October 20, 2026, Frech will perform a contemporary dance to ‘Bloodline’ by Mon Rovia to honor his mother, Bahar Soomekh. Soomekh is an actress and cofounder of the Los Angeles-based nonprofit Angel City Sports. Frech’s father, Clayton Frech, serves as the CEO of Angel City Sports and founded Vitium Productions to highlight stories from the adaptive sports community.

Backstage reports suggest Frech has been getting close with fellow contestant Hailey Bills, with cast and crew members noting their chemistry during the competition.
