This comes just days after 'DWTS' pro-dancer Lindsay Arnold announced her decision not to return to the ABC show for Season 32

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Dancing With The Stars' professional dancer Witney Carson has confirmed that she won't be returning to the dance floor for Season 32.

In a recent video posted on her TikTok, Carson stated that though it was a difficult decision for her, she has finally been able to make up her mind to not join the popular ABC show owing to family responsibilities and distance.

This links her to Lindsay Arnold, another 'DWTS' pro who earlier announced her decision not to return to the show.

Witney Carson said, "We definitely thought and prayed about it for a while, but we will not be doing Dancing With the Stars this season. As much as that pains me to say, I just felt very at peace with it.”

“You guys know that family is the most important thing to me, and we just really felt that moving our entire family across the country right now was not for us,” Carson clarified.

Further adding, “Leo’s at an age where he needs consistency and dependability, and he hasn’t had that ever since he’s been born. We’re just really trying to give him that right now.”

Carson however expressed hope of returning to the show sometime in the future, “I love dance that is my passion, so this was definitely a hard decision,” she said.

Carson said, “But I will be rooting for everybody on the show, I cannot wait to watch. I’m so excited. I definitely think this is just a break. I hope it’s not goodbye. But for now, we will be there No. 1 cheerleader watching. Love you guys.”
