Matt Roush says...
The reality competition that redefines the notion of “star”dom returns to celebrate its 20th anniversary as it launches its 34th season (the show used to air twice a year but has since wisely scaled back). The celebrities attempting their first ballroom dances in tango, cha-cha, salsa and jive styles include two reality stars from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (Jen Affleck, Whitney Leavitt), two former child stars (Corey Feldman, Danielle Fishel), an Olympic gold medalist (Jordan Chiles), an NBA All-Star (Baron Davis), two musicians (Scott Hoying of Pentatonix and Lauren Jauregui from Fifth Harmony) and a possible ringer in wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin, younger brother of Season 21 winner Bindi Irwin. The show’s history suggests that someone you’ve never heard of could develop into your favorite dancer. Much depends on the chemistry they develop with their professional partner, as the corps welcomes back three-time Mirrorball winner Mark Ballas for the first time since his Season 31 win in 2022 opposite Charli D’Amelio.
