Monday night's Dancing with the Stars premiere will expose a host of familiar faces to the limelight once more, presenting an "All Star" lineup from past seasons. While season fifteen will be dancer Maskim Chmerkovskiy's last hurrah with the show, fans may be consoled by the fact that ABC is launching a Dancing with the Stars radio show.
ABC News Radio Vice President and General Manager Steve Jones confirmed that the station is "adding a new dimension to the Dancing with the Stars experience by offering on demand, digitial audio content that compliments the viewing experience and increases engagement between the audience and the cast."
Fans should expect exclusive interviews, behind-the scenes conversations, and show highlights after the show ends, extending the DWTS experience for those hungry for content. The station can be found at this site, and is accessible to smartphones as well as iPads. Now, let's move on to the stars of the show.
This season's cast is listed alongside their dancing partners below:
Apollo Anton Ohno will be paired with Karina Smirnoff, Bristol Palin with Mark Ballas, Drew Lachey with Anna Trebunskaya, Emmitt Smith with Cheryl Burke, Giles Marini with Peta Murgatroyd, Helio Castroneves with Chelsie Hightower, Joey Fatone with Kym Johnson, Kelly Monaco with Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Melissa Rycroft with Tony Dovolani, Pamela Anderson with Tristan MacManus, Sabrina Bryan with Louis Van Amstel, and Shawn Johnson with Derek Hough.
