‘Dancing With the Stars’ Cast: Meet Season 35 Celebs and Pros


โ€œDancing With the Starsโ€ Season 34 set a high bar โ€” and the Season 35 cast is delivering.

On Wednesday morning, the celebrity and pro partners were revealed for the Emmy-nominated reality competition, including multiple reality breakout stars, athletes and actors.

It also includes Jenna Dewan and Harry Shum Jr., both of whom have extensive dance backgrounds; Dewan began her career as a backup dancer for Janet Jackson, has hosted โ€œWorld of Danceโ€ and โ€œFlirty Dancing,โ€ and served as a judge on โ€œCome Dance with Me.โ€ Shum Jr. has performed as a backup dancer for Beyoncรฉ, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey.

On the pro side, last yearโ€™s winner, Witney Carson, will return โ€” and dance while pregnant โ€” with Guillermo Rodriguez. This season marks a big return for another pro dancer, Sharna Burgess, who will re-join the cast for the first time since 2011. She competed for 14 seasons total and won once. This season, sheโ€™s partnered with Tyler Cameron. Additionally, โ€œDancing With the Stars: The Next Proโ€ winner Adele Zaikman joins the cast and will dance with Conner Leavitt.

New to the pros this year is Hailey Bills, who was a troupe member last year. She will be half of the second-ever same-sex partnership, dancing with Sarah Jane Nader.
