A new trailer for Dancing With The Stars season 31 has been released, and it teases appearances by some fan favorite professional dancers. On September 19, after 17 years on ABC, Dancing With The Stars will premiere on Disney+, where it will stream commercial-free in both Canada and the United States. This unprecedented move will make Dancing With The Stars the first live-streaming reality show in America.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting details about Dancing With The Stars season 31. Tyra Banks will return to host for her third season, joined by co-host Alfonso Ribeiro, who comes home to the ballroom after winning season 19 in 2014 with his professional dance partner, Witney Carson. All four judges, Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough, will return for season 31. The new cast will be revealed on September 8 on Good Morning America.
In the newest promo for Dancing With The Stars season 31 released by ET, some of the possible returning professional dancers were revealed, including Daniella Karagach, Pasha Pashkov, Artem Chigvinstev, Witney Carson, Brandon Armstrong, and Cheryl Burke. Since they appear in the trailer, fans can probably assume that they will participate in the season. Daniella won the previous season of Dancing With The Stars alongside her partner, NBA star Iman Shumpert. She was also nominated for an Emmy for her work on the season.
The promo begins with a family watching Dancing With The Stars on Disney+, revealing some of the pros. After the theme music plays, a little girl says, “Dancing With The Stars is on Disney+?!” Married couple Daniella and Pasha then take center stage as Daniella says, “Let the magic of dance come alive.” She spins out of the television and into the family’s living room, sprinkling pixie dust. The pros then appear in the living room where they dance with the family. A Mickey Mouse-shaped mirrorball hangs from the living room ceiling. A voiceover says, “Let the magic of dance take over your world.” The family then judges the dances, with everyone giving 10s, except for the grandmother who says, “We can’t expect perfection on the first try.” The little girl then shouts, “Encore!”
Dancing With The Stars season 31 will bring a lot of change to the show, but seeing these familiar faces of the professional dancers in the new trailer is exciting for fans. All of them are fan favorites who have been with the show for many years. Although the move to Disney+ might be a shock for some viewers, once they get used to it, they will find that the streaming platform will give the show even more opportunities to bring the magic of dance to people everywhere.
Dancing With The Stars season 31 premieres Monday, September 19 on Disney+.
