The Show Must Go On: DWTS Pro Brandon Armstrong Reveals Post-Elimination Paycheck Details!

In a surprising twist for many fans, Dancing With the Stars pro Brandon Armstrong has shed light on the often-mysterious contracts of professional dancers, confirming that he is still getting paid for the entirety of Season 32, despite his recent elimination with partner Barry Williams.

The duo, beloved for their infectious energy and Barry's impressive journey at 69 years young, bid farewell to the ballroom during 'A Night at the Movies' week.

Their departure left a void, but Armstrong quickly assured fans that his work, and paycheck, weren't stopping there.

“It’s actually in our contract that we get paid for the entire season,” Armstrong revealed, explaining a standard clause that ensures pro dancers are compensated regardless of how long their celebrity partners remain in the competition.

This often-overlooked detail highlights the extensive commitment required from the pros, extending far beyond the competitive dances.

So, what exactly does a 'paid but eliminated' pro do? According to Armstrong, it's not a vacation. “We still have to be here for group numbers. You still have to do rehearsals.

You still have to do everything,” he explained. This means Armstrong, along with other eliminated pros, remains an integral part of the show's production, contributing to the spectacular group routines and offering behind-the-scenes support that keeps the ballroom magic alive.

For Armstrong, being on set, even without the pressure of competition, is a joy.

“I’m on set. I get to see all my friends, and I get to support them,” he shared, emphasizing the close-knit community among the cast and crew. This camaraderie is a hallmark of Dancing With the Stars, and Armstrong's presence continues to bolster that supportive atmosphere.

Reflecting on his partnership with The Brady Bunch icon Barry Williams, Armstrong expressed profound gratitude.

“I truly do thank Barry for everything. He put up a good fight,” he said, clearly cherishing the experience and the bond they forged. Their journey was one of dedication, laughter, and pushing boundaries, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.

Looking ahead, Armstrong is already hopeful for a return to the famed ballroom.

“Hopefully I’ll be back for season 33,” he stated, a sentiment shared by many fans who eagerly anticipate seeing his talent grace the dance floor once again. While the competition may be over for him this season, Brandon Armstrong's journey with Dancing With the Stars is far from its final waltz, revealing the true dedication and continuous involvement of its professional stars.
