They’re ready to rumba!
The complete Dancing with the Stars lineup of professional dancer-celebrity pairs was announced Monday on Good Morning America. The list features new pro dancer Anna Demidova, who won last season’s professional dance contest, as well as the return of fan favorite Louis Van Amstel. Many of the pairings were leaked on celebrity Twitter posts and Facebook pages following the announcement of season 9’s stars.
Nobody was more surprised to find out his partner than Ashley Hamilton. The 34-year-old actor, comedian and singer-songwriter will follow in his father George Hamilton’s footsteps. He’s paired with Edyta Sliwinska, who taught his dad to dance on the show’s second season.
“My partner is a bigger celebrity than I am,” Ashley said.
Rehearsals are now underway for all 16 couples, who will hit the ballroom on Sept. 21 for Dancing’s season 9 premiere on ABC.
