The return of ‘Dancing With the Stars’ is right around the corner! Season 29 premieres Sept. 14 and the pro dancers were revealed Aug. 18 on ‘GMA.’ Most of your faves are back!

Dancing With the Stars season 29 will return Sept. 14 on ABC with all-new celebrities, as well as familiar pros and brand-new ones. Sharna Burgess and Keo Motsepe, who were not asked to be pros in season 28, are back full-time for season 29. Professional ballroom dancers Britt Stewart and Daniella Karagach getting celebrity partners for the very first time. Britt makes DWTS history as the first Black female pro.

Unlike in previous seasons when the cast would be released before the shows premiere, viewers will have to tune in to the season premiere to find out with whom their favorite pros are paired. This season is also unlike any other due to the coronavirus pandemic. In order to ensure the safety of the pros and the celebs, all the pros must live apart while competing — even the married couples!
