After weeks of laughter, progress, and unforgettable moments on Dancing with the Stars, professional dancer Emma Slater took to social media to share a touching message for her partner Andy Richter following his elimination from the show.
While fans agreed that competition was getting tighter, Emma’s words proved that this partnership was about much more than the scoreboard.
“I’m so proud of you, Andy,” she wrote. “You brought so much joy and heart to the dance floor every week. You made me — and everyone watching — smile. I’ll miss our rehearsals, our jokes, and your infectious energy.”
Andy, known for his humor and humility, had quickly become a fan favorite. Though not the most technical dancer, he brought authenticity, heart, and undeniable fun to every performance — something both Emma and viewers cherished.
“While I do believe it was Andy’s time to go,” one fan commented, “I was still sad to see him leave. He was so fun to watch each week!”
Their journey together ended with applause, laughter, and genuine affection — a reminder that Dancing with the Stars isn’t just about winning. It’s about connection, courage, and joy on the dance floor.
