As much as that pains me to say, I just felt very at peace with it.
Carson won the Season 19 mirrorball trophy with Alfonso Ribeiro in 2014.

Were just really trying to give him that right now.
I love dance that is my passion, so this was definitely a hard decision, she said.
But I will be rooting for everybody on the show, I cannot wait to watch.
I definitely think this is just a break.
I hope its not goodbye.
But for now, we will be their No.
