ABC and Hulu announced that Dancing with the Stars will be back in the Fall. But they didn’t stop there. They also revealed that The Traitors’ Maura Higgins and Summer House’s Ciara Miller are the first two stars competing on the 35th season.
That was not all of the DWTS news. On July 13th, Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro will debut on ABC and Hulu.
Twelve dancers will compete to be the next Pro on the dancing competition. Robert Irwin, who won season 34, will host, and Mark Ballas and his mom, Shirley, who has been a judge on the English version, will be the permanent judges; each week, different pros will return to judge.
On another ABC note, The Bachelor will return in 2027. Hopefully, that means that The Rookie and Will Trent will air in the Fall and not be held until midseason.
Ever since we saw Jan Ravnik dance with Taylor Swift, we have loved watching him dance. However, as fun as that is to watch, there is something that is much more fun to see him do.
What is it? Walking on a treadmill.
We know that because his Dancing with the Stars’ competitor, Mark Ballas, shared a video of him walking from behind, and DWTS’s newest Pro has a behind I can get behind.
Can you watch him shake it off all day too? We know that Ballas can!!!
Before Witney Carson made it to the finals on Dancing with the Stars, she had already been there on So You Think You Can Dance. Watching the 18-year-old dance in 2012 proves why she has two mirror ball trophies.
Tomorrow night, Dancing with the Stars is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and they are bringing together all of the pros from the first season to do a special performance, which is choreographed by Derek Hough.
Even though they are professional dancers, they still need to rehearse. Louis Van Amstel (Trisra Sutter) shared a photo of himself reunited with Alec Mazo (Kelly Monaco), Edyta Śliwińska (Evander Holyfield), Ashly DelGrosso (Joey McIntyre), Charlotte Jørgensen (John O’Hurley), and Jonathan Roberts (Rachel Hunter).
Seeing them together makes me miss the days before the ballroom got taken over by Derek and Julianne Hough and Mark Ballas. Tell me it wasn’t so much better before they joined.
Besides the OG6 and Tom Bergeron, who else are you looking forward to seeing tomorrow? I am bummed that Lacey Schwimmer will not be there because she is working. Therefore, I need to see Karina Smirnoff and Dmitry Chaplin in her place.
Robert Irwin had some death-defying moves on yesterday’s Dancing with the Stars. And he told Entertainment Tonight that he almost died during the show.
What? He explained, “I almost died tonight…I choked on a piece of confetti at the end of the team dance.”
You see, when the music stopped, large pieces of confetti rained down on the dancers, and he inhaled a piece that got stuck in his throat. He got up and tried to ask his partner, Whitney Carson, to help him. But, he didn’t need her because he was able to cough it up.
Could you imagine the man who is not afraid of snakes and crocodiles, was done in by a piece of confetti? Thankfully, we don’t have to!
