Dancing With The Stars Season 33 is just a few short weeks away. Right now, many fans are eagerly awaiting to see the full cast list, which comes out on September 4. But will fan-favorite dancer Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy make the cut?

Pro dancers never know about their involvement with the show up until the last possible moment. But with the cast list coming out next week, things are coming down to the wire.

So what does Jenna Johnson think that DWTS Season 33 has in store for her?

Jenna Johnson Plays Coy About Her Upcoming Involvement

Every summer, pro dancers train and hope for the chance to appear on DWTS in the fall. Many seasoned pros receive an invite to return, but it’s not always the case.

More than likely, Jenna already has a rough idea of whether or not she’ll return this fall. But until the official cast announcement comes out, she isn’t allowed to say much.

“I don’t know yet,” the dancer told PopCulture recently. “But I would absolutely love to return to this season. I think it’s a gift and an honor every single time you’re asked back as a professional on the show. So I still get butterflies while waiting for the call, so hopefully, I’ll find out soon.”

As a fan-favorite dancer who consistently performs well, DWTS producers have every reason to ask Jenna back. As for her dream partner, she previously said she wanted Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce. Those sentiments echoed through her PopCulture interview too.

“I have yet to have a football player, so I think that could be really exciting,” the 30-year-old added. “I feel like the athletes do really well on our show because they understand the work ethic. But honestly, every year, I’m just looking for somebody to be down for the experience.”

Will This Be A Season Full Of Athletes?

Many DWTS fans think Season 33 will have plenty of athletes in the ballroom. Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik was the first confirmed celebrity contestant. Several other Olympians are rumored to join, including Jordan Chiles and Ilona Maher. And if Jenna gets her wish, retired footballer Jason Kelce will also join in.

Most Dancing With The Stars seasons feature a few athletes, but Season 33 could be filled with them. The full cast list debuts on Good Morning America on September 4, so fans won’t have to wait much longer to find out.

Are you hoping to see Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy return to Dancing With The Stars this fall? Will she get her dream partner in Jason Kelce? Share your own thoughts and opinions in the comments.
