A “Jersey Shore” bro, a Real Housewife, a Bachelorette, a drag queen superstar and a TikTok influencer are all going for the Mirror Ball.
The new celebrity dancers for the upcoming season of “Dancing with the Stars” were announced Thursday, including Vinny Guadagnino, Selma Blair, Wayne Brady, Jordin Sparks, “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” reality star Teresa Giudice, drag queen Shangela and “Good Morning America” weatherman Sam Champion.
“When it comes to the actual choreography, I would love to maybe do a little nod to why I am even here and what got me here, but I think I’m really going to work on the technical parts of ballroom dance,” Charlie D’Amelio, who will dance alongside her mom, said on “Good Morning America” Wednesday when her name was announced.
“Dancing with the Stars,” hosted by Tyra Banks and Alfonso Ribeiro, moves to Disney+ for the first time this season after more than 15 years on ABC. Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, Derek Hough and Carrie Ann Inaba will return as judges.
Other dancers include actor Joseph Baena, country singer Jessie James Decker, “90210″ alum Trevor Donovan, “CODA’s” Daniel Durant, “Charlie’s Angels” star Cheryl Ladd, “Sex and the City’s” Jason Lewis and former “Bachelorette” Gabby Windey.
Season 31 premieres Sept. 19.
