While it was cancelled after only one season, the participants, including Lev, have gone on to do other things. His celebrity partner on it was ‘Master Chef Junior’ winner Addison Osta Smith, and they were mentored by South African dancer Keo Motsepe. On October 7, 2018, Lev and Smith performed cha-cha-cha and were one of two couples eliminated in the first round along with professional dancer Hailey Bills and her celebrity partner and Sarah Palin's grandson, Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston Palin.
