Fans rejoice over the return of two veteran DWTS pros
DWTS insider Kristyn Burtt leaked the pro dancer cast list a few weeks early. But there were some last-minute changes, as there are every year. For starters, Sasha Farber has been moved up to pro dancer status and will not participate in the troupe as previously reported.
But there’s more good news to share — two fan-favorite DWTS pros are back!
Mark Ballas and Louis Van Amstel will both compete as pro dancers this year. Mark hasn’t competed on Dancing With The Stars since Season 25 and Season 21 was the last time fans saw Louis Van Amstel.
Newer fans may not be as familiar with Louis, who competed in 10 total seasons. However, he played a more active role near the show’s beginning. Mark Ballas has competed in 19 total seasons and won the Mirrorball Trophy twice. Fans are definitely excited to see what these seasoned DWTS pros can bring to the table this year.
