Professional career

=''Dancing with the Stars''=

Farber started out as a professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars in Australia before he moved across to the US version in season fourteen as a troupe member. However he was promoted to professional dancer in season 17 when he was paired with Jersey Shore cast member Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.[http://www.mjsbigblog.com/dancing-with-the-stars-17-cast-revealed-september-4-on-gma.htm Dancing With The Stars 17 Cast Revealed September 4 on GMA] The pair were eliminated in week 7 despite good scores from the judges. He was placed back in the troupe for the next four seasons. On 8 March 2016, Farber was again announced as a pro for season 22 and paired with actress Kim Fields.{{cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/dancing-stars-2016-season-22-celebrity-cast-revealed/story?id=37472389|title=Dancing With the Stars 2016: Season 22 Celebrity Cast Revealed Live on 'GMA'|work=ABC News|date=8 March 2016|accessdate=8 March 2016}} The couple was eliminated on 2 May 2016, along with Von Miller and Witney Carson, tying for 7th place.
