The lineup for the 19th season of "Dancing With The Stars" has been revealed and it will feature 13 new celebrity contenders ready to show their moves on the dance floor. This year's cast is a good mix of celebrity names, including a few that 90s kids will reminisce over.
One anticipated return for this season is veteran DWTS cast, Julianne Hough, who will be returning to serve as the fourth judge in this season's panel. She will be joining Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Len Goodman.
One particularly exciting celebrity contestant is "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" actor, Alfonso Ribeiro. The comedian, who played Will Smith's shorter and dorky cousin, Carlton, will be showing the world how his dance moves have improved over the years.
"We will absolutely give the fans what they would love to see, which is the Carlton dance," said Ribeiro on "GMA" via ABC when he discussed his routines. "I gotta give the audience a reason to keep me on," he teased.
It'll be exciting to see if and when the 42-year-old actor will be laying down his trademark "Carlton Dance" during this season's dance battles.
The announcement was made Thursday morning on "Good Morning America".
Below is the complete list of the 13 celebrity pairings, compiled by The Hollywood Reporter. They will be competing for America's heart and the competition's mirror ball trophy:
- Randy Couture and Karina Smirnoff
- Michael Waltrip and Emma Slater
- Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy
- Sadie Robertson and Mark Ballas
- Antonio Sabato, Jr. and Cheryl Burke
- Alfonso Ribeiro and Witney Carson
- Tommy Chong and Peta Murgatroyd
- Jonathan Bennett and Allison Holker
- Lea Thompson and Artem Chigvintsev
- Tavis Smiley and Sharna Burgess
- Lolo Jones and Keo Motsepe
- Bethany Mota and Derek Hough
- Betsey Johnson and Tony Dovolani
Hough, 26, will have a lot of great input to provide to the panel as the pro has already taken home two mirror-ball trophies during her career as a contestant on DWTS.
Leading the way each night will be alum host, Tom Bergeron, who will be joined by the beautiful Erin Andrews.
Catch season 19 of "Dancing With the Stars" which premieres Sept. 15 on ABC.
