DWTS Pro Daniella Karagach Details Turning Her Tour Bus Into a Home for 2-Year-Old Daughter Nikita (Exclusive)

While Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov were pursuing their professional dancing dreams, their daughter was right by their side.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the Dancing with the Stars pros opened up about the reality of touring with their 2-year-old daughter Nikita. While it could be hard to travel with a toddler, Karagach, 31, says that her DWTS family did a great job at helping them "feel at home at all times."

"They do such an amazing job just making us feel at home at all times. No matter what you need, they're just ready to do anything for you to be comfortable and happy," Karagach tells PEOPLE. "They did a great job just making us feel good in terms of – if the rooms were too small in the venues, they'd give us hotel rooms. They'd make sure that we have everything and anything to be comfortable."

"They gave us the back room in the bus with the baby crib. It was just a really great experience," she adds. "It was so tiring, especially with the extension, but it's really nice to know that we sell out and people want more of us, so that's great."

Their DWTS family made everything a little easier for them while on tour. Karagach tells PEOPLE that everyone seemed to have "such a special bond" with their little one, never making the parents feel as though the toddler was a burden.

"It always felt like she was the highlight of people's day, which is so rewarding for us and so beautiful to see for us," she says. "Even with the fans, the fans love her, and watching her wave to them and them screaming her name, it shows you how beautiful our fans are and how family-like our show is, and how family-like our fans are as well."

"They've literally become like a family now, where we go on stage and we know they're always going to love and support us and just show us positivity. That's a big thing in this industry. You don't get that a lot. We're really grateful for that," she continues. "Going on tour, I remember last year I was still breastfeeding. That was really hard because in intermission, I was literally feeding her."

Despite the challenges, Karagach and Pashkov enjoyed every moment that they were able to share with her daughter while on tour. The proud mom recalled how the little one would warm up with them every day and do everything else with them.

"She warmed up with us every single day. She knew what time it was when we took our foam roller, she would take a foam roller," Karagach recalled. "Our PT even gave her a baby foam roller. She would roll her thighs out, ... [and she] didn't know what she was doing, but she was doing it with us and it was great. It was so fun."

In July 2024, the couple chatted with PEOPLE and the new mom opened up about her transition back to the show three months after welcoming their daughter Nikita in May 2023.

"I mean, people say having a kid is hard, but it's fricking hard. I don't remember the first two months because we were so sleep-deprived and your body is going through so much," Karagach revealed.

"I was three months postpartum going back on the show, and dancing full out ... taking care of a celebrity. Meanwhile, I was taking care of a child at home," she explained, adding that "It was insane."
