Val Chmerkovskiy and dance troupe partner Emma Slater suffered a fall while filming the  runway show in Miami on Saturday.

The 40-year-old Ukrainian-American entertainer – – and Slater, 37, were seconds into their one-on-one choreography when Chmerkovskiy slid on the stage's wet surface, caused by drizzly conditions.

He tumbled onto his backside, with the blonde dancer falling with him a moment later.

Due to the pre-filmed nature of the production, the troupe was able to repeat and perfect the sequence later.

Daily Mail learned via a source that the show, which will begin streaming on Hulu June 9, was nearly called off due to inclement weather.

However, once the drizzle stopped, the show was able to go on.

Following the incident, Slater took to Instagram Stories on Sunday to ask, 'Did anybody see that fall last night? You know what I'm talking about.' 

For the high-profile appearance, Chmerkovskiy wore slim-fitting black pants and a sheer black shirt that was left open to reveal his chiseled abs.

The runway show comes three months after Chmerkovskiy was forced to miss a Dancing With The Stars live tour show in Peoria, Illinois.

In early March he was hospitalized for vertigo treatment, he revealed in an Instagram video at the time.

'My apologies to all the fans that came out to see us today in Peoria. Thank you to my fellow castmates for rallying,' he wrote along with a photo of him in his hospital bed. 

He added, 'Little bump in the road. I’ll be good to go ASAP. It takes quite literally me not being able to stand on my feet to keep me off that stage. Unfortunately, I just couldn’t make it tonight.'

While speaking to the camera, Chmerkovskiy explained, 'I've just been having vertigo for the past couple of days.'

He added about his symptoms, 'Once that little crystal in your equilibrium goes out, it's really hard to get it back in. I'm just spinning everywhere.'
