We are asking Dancing with the Stars to make Erik Linder a troupe member for next season. He was eliminated tonight even though he has been one of the top performers week after week, and that kind of talent should not be lost so quickly.
Eric has shown consistency, skill, and the kind of stage presence that makes the show better. Week after week, he has earned our attention and support. His elimination left many of us feeling that he did not deserve to go home when he had proven himself as one of the strongest performers in the cast.
A troupe spot would be a fair next step. It would recognize the work he has already put in and give viewers a chance to keep seeing the energy and quality he brings to the dance floor. The troupe should include performers who can raise the level of the show, and Erik Linder has clearly shown that he belongs there.
We believe Dancing with the Stars should reward talent, growth, and dedication. Please give Erik Linder at least a spot on the troupe for next season.

Because Erik was truly amazing, and his dance for wow week truly is the only dance I go back to watch constantly. Same thing with his chemistry dance with Selena we need Erik on troupe or something more permanent.
Crazy that his dance that quote “didn’t have wow moments” is the one going viral right now! We NEED Erik on the show!
Erik is an exceptional dancer and I feel as if he really makes his partner shine which is what being a pro is all about.
he was robbed i need him in the troupe
Erik is a phenomenal dancer and deserves to be at LEAST on troupe!
I totally agree. He is an awesome dancer and deserves to be in the show!
It’s important due to the fact that Nina literally whacked the ground and AJ and Nina were safe but Erik and Selena poured their hearts out and delivered a CLEAN performance and yet Erik went home
