Sasha Farber is not competing as a professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) season 34, marking a break after participating in the last eight consecutive seasons. No official reason was given for his absence, but fan theories suggest it could be related to a cast change involving a celebrity partner who backed out. Sasha has confirmed his non-participation as a pro but is still involved in the show by streaming behind-the-scenes content during the season premiere on TikTok. He expressed excitement for the season and showed support for the other dancers, indicating no ill feelings about not competing this season. Fellow pros have also stated the changes are not personal but part of routine rotating of pros each season.
