The 23-year-old dancer hails from Provo, Utah. Sosa’s parents emigrated from Argentina and Mexico to the U.S.

Sosa’s dance partner this season is Anna Delvey. According to Forbes, Delvey is “a convicted fraudster and con artist who inspired Netflix to create ‘Inventing Anna.’”

According to People magazine, Sosa is the first professional Latin dancer in over a decade to appear on the show.

Who is Rylee Arnold?
