This season’s cast of celebrity dancers includes a fashion icon, a YouTube sensation, a NASCAR legend, and a movie star, to name a few. The stars will grace the ballroom floor for the first time on live national television with their professional partners during the two-hour season premiere of Dancing with the Stars, which aired Monday, September 15 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. One couple will be eliminated on the Dancing with the Stars results show the following day, on Tuesday, September 16 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET).
The thirteen professional dancers teaching the celebrity cast how to bring heat to the dance floor are Mark Ballas, Cheryl Burke, Sharna Burgess, Witney Carson, Artem Chigvintsev, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Tony Dovolani, Allison Holker, Derek Hough, Keo Motsepe, Peta Murgatroyd, Emma Slater and Karina Smirnoff. Two-time Mirrorball champion and movie star Julianne Hough joins Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba at the judges’ desk.
And do we really need another judge? And of all people Julian Huff? Can she really be impartial? We’ll see.
Who’s your Favourite? Who’s got the Advantage?
Will tonight’s episode set the bar to who will be the front runner?
We look forward to giving our feedback on the ongoing series in the upcoming weeks.
Feel free to leave your comments.
Here are the Couples!
