Live from Hollywood, another season of “Dancing with the Stars” begins tonight!
A cast of 14 brand new stars will enter the ballroom tonight in hopes to be the last ones standing, lifting the mirrorball trophy.
The reigning pro champion Jenna Johnson is back this season, paired with actor Corey Feldman (of “The Goonies” and “Stand By Me” fame), with runner-up Alan Bersten and third-place pro Brandon Armstrong also returning to the ballroom this season. “DWTS” will also introduce a new pro, Jan Ravnik, who is best known as one of Taylor Swift’s dancers on The Eras Tour.
Stars on this season include Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, influencer Alix Earle, actress Danielle Fishel, two “Mormon Wives” from the hit Hulu show, and podcaster and entrepreneur Hilaria Baldwin.
