'Dancing With The Stars' reveals the pros' roster in season 21. Obviously, there are popular pro dancers that will be returning to the show not only to defend their title but also with the hope to be the next champion.
ABC News reveals the list of the pros that will be competing again with the stars in the popular reality dance show "Dancing With The Stars." The names included in the roster of pros are Mark Ballas, Dereck Hough, and Karina Smirnoff. All three of them were previous mirror ball champions.
Everyone must have heard already about Karina Smirnoff who had announced her return on Tuesday. While she was absent in the last season, the competition was won Val Chmerkovskiy with his celebrity partner Rumer Willis.
So the defending champion for season 21 is of course Chmerkovskiy. The other pros that would be dancing with the celebrities in the upcoming season are Sharna Burgess, Witney Carson, Artem Chigvintsev, Allison Holker, and Peta Murgatroyd.
Entertainment Weekly says that it is a good news that the five-time champ Derek Hough has now fully recovered from his injury last season. As the roster of pros has been revealed already, the celebrities that they are partnering with are still kept under wraps.
But according to TV Line, there are still 3 more pros that are yet to be disclosed. As for the panel of judges, Len Goodman, who recently welcomes his newborn grandson, will not be returning as a full-time judge. He has announced this back in December that his involvement with the ABC's reality dance show will be limited for the incoming season. In addition, EP Rob Wade has also confirmed that Goodman will be joining the panel of "Strictly Come Dancing" in the UK. Thus, he will only have guest appearances on "DWTS."
The roster of celebrity dancers will soon be announced on "Good Morning America" on September 2.
