Dancing with the Stars is a reality show airing on ABC in the United States. The show partners a celebrity with a professional dancer; the pairs compete to see who can become the best ballroom dancers and therefore win the grand prize of a mirror ball trophy. One pair is eliminated each week based on the number of votes from the American viewers combined with the judges' score.

This season Dancing with the Stars features the youngest and oldest competitors to ever compete on the show. ABC also notes that this season's competitors include "two Olympic gold medalists, a Grammy-winning singer, a television legend, an Oscar winner, and a Super Bowl champion."Official Site: New Cast Revealed
