Hey All! :)
Dancing with the Stars is finally back! Instead of the usual full Spring season, we are being treated to a special four week event that brings ten athletes from a variety of sports together to compete in the world of ballroom dancing. This quick mini-season will include multiple dances and eliminations each week with a level of competitiveness never seen before. And this morning on Good Morning America, we had the live cast reveal.
I am really excited to be back with you all to blog another season and I will also be sticking around to recap the upcoming Summer reality-competition show, So You Think You Can Dance. So much dancing over the next five months! Before this special season gets underway, let’s do a quick poll. Hey, I wouldn’t be me without some good polls, right? :)
Take a look at the official cast photos below (with the exception of one star who wasn’t able to do an official photo yet) and based on what you know/feel about them and their professional partners, who is your pre-season favorite? Feel free to comment also with any thoughts. I will be back here on Monday, April 30th @8PM Eastern for the start of it all. I hope you guys will join me for the ride.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (NBA legend) and Lindsay Arnold
