| DWTS Pro, Edyta Sliwinska, returns to the Ballroom for Season 22! |
“I can’t believe it!” exclaimed the elated Pro during an interview given by her former, Season 09 partner, ET Correspondent, Ashley Hamilton, “I never thought I would be back!”
“I have been talking to a Producer for a couple Seasons,” Sliwinska further divulged, “and it wasn’t right before.”
The reason? Reportedly the very same one that had prompted Edyta to walk away from the show in the first place, after 10 long and gratifying Seasons as a DWTS Professional: The raising of a family.
After marrying her then long-time boyfriend and Professional Dancing Competition Partner, Alec Mazo (Winner of Season 01 of DWTS, along with Kelly Monaco), in September 2007, Edyta retired at last from the dance program in 2010 in order to focus on her academic future, and to begin a family.
“After 10 Seasons, I feel like it’s time to think about my future.” The Dancer had explained, via her Facebook Page, according to Wikipedia. “… my main goal is to finish my degree and start building a family.”
And so she did. On January 4th, 2014, Sliwinska gave birth to hers and Alec’s first child; a son whom they named, Michael Alexander Mazo.
Her life, seemingly, now once again considered to be on the right track, it would appear that Edyta is more than ready to step back into the role of Pro on the show, remarking to her Interviewer, Hamilton, on a set of ET, “… this Season I just felt like, I’ve been a Mommy for two years, and coming back would be such a challenge!
Of course, since coming back to the show, Edyta has been made aware of the few, dramatic changes that have taken place during her 5½ year furlough, such as the recent announcement of DWTS’ 6-time Mirror Ball Winner and reigning Professional Champ, Derek Hough’s, decision to leave the show.
“They (Derek and Julianne Hough, who also called it quits, following this last Season 21 as a Panel Judge) had such a great and long career on Dancing With The Stars,” Sliwinska has observed of what some are calling a devastating event. “And Derek won like [a] million times. I think it’s time for them to move on and do their own thing.”
But, adds the reinstated Pro enthusiastically, “I’m sure they will be back!”
In addition to being a supremely, long-time absent, Returning Pro for DWTS’, Edyta’s surprising and delightful come-back will also hold the unique distinction, within the coming Season, of being the show’s only presently Competing Pro who was formerly of the program’s Season 01 Cast!
