The ‘Dancing with the Stars’ season 16 cast was revealed this morning on ‘Good Morning America,’ a mix of entertainers, reality stars, comedians and athletes.
They are comedian Andy Dick, standup funnyman D.L. Hughley, Baltimore Ravens player Jacoby Jones, country singer Kellie Pickler, reality celeb and designer Lisa Vanderpump, boxer Victor Ortiz, country singing veteran Wynonna Judd, Disney star Zendaya Coleman, Olympic skater Dorothy Hamill, soap star Ingo Rademacher, Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman and ‘Bachelor’ Sean Lowe.
Fans of the long running show will be disappointed to learn that several pro dancers are not returning: Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Chelsie Hightwoer, Louis van Amstel, and Anna Trebunskaya.
These popular pros will begin training their new celebs this week: Derek Hough, Cheryl Burke, Tony Dovolani, Karina Smirnoff, Peta Murgatroyd, Val Chmerkovskiy, Kym Johnson, Mark Ballas and our personal fav … Tristan MacManus.
If past seasons are any indication, the pairings of Hough-Pickler and Ballas-Raisman will be worth watching. These two pros are extremely competitive.
The new season premieres on March 18, 2013 on ABC. Check out the rest of the cast below:
