Will The DWTS Pro Return To The Ballroom This Fall?

Although Louis van Amstel retired several years ago, many Dancing With The Stars fans would love to see him return. He last competed in Season 31 as a special request from his dance partner, Cheryl Ladd. This summer, many viewers spotted a clue that could indicate Louis will return.

The Dancing With The Stars Instagram account typically only posts happy birthday messages for current pro dancers. However, they included Louis Van Amstel’s birthday back in June.


If the seasoned pro is teaching ballroom classes during the summer, it might be a sign he’s keeping in shape for the upcoming season too.
