Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron cleared up questions regarding the next season of DWTS on twitter. A four week “mini-season” of DWTS will air mid-season, followed by season 26 in the fall.
That was my stunt double ? But there will be a mini-Spring season (4 Weeks). Not “DWTS Junior.” More info Tuesday

Season 26 of @DancingABC will be next Fall. The 4 week mini-season in the Spring is a bite size, spray tanned spin-off

And you can probably thank American Idol for that! Will the mini-season air before American Idol premieres on March 11? Word is, Idol will air on Mondays as well as Sundays, at least during some of the season.
Details are pretty sketchy at this point. When will the announced Jr. version of Dancing with the stars air? Tom promises more information on Tuesday’s grand finale. Stay tuned!
