Dancing With the Stars returns this month with the 35th season of the celebrity dancing competition starting September 15 with a two-night premiere. The ABC reality competition show has been a favorite for years, pairing dance professionals with a variety of celebrity novices.
Last season, Robert Irwin and his partner Witney Carson took home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
This season, there is quite the assortment of stars joining the fray. There are some -- like actors Jenna Dewan and Harry Shum Jr. -- that have dance experience, while also introducing athletes like figure skater Amber Glenn to the dance floor. Connor Leavitt is looking to follow in the footsteps of his wife, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt, who finished
sixth last season.
