This milestone season marks the show’s 20th year, promising a dazzling display of talent, determination, and star power. The cast, a vibrant mix of athletes, comedians, influencers, and musicians, has been hard at work rehearsing to captivate audiences from the very first dance.
Veteran judge Derek Hough praised this season’s lineup as “unbelievable,” highlighting the strong dance backgrounds many contestants bring to the competition. “I think the ladies are really strong from a dance experience,” he noted, underscoring the competitive edge that will raise the stakes this year. Co-host Julianne Hough echoed this sentiment, anticipating “great dancing” and memorable performances that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
The cast shared candid reflections about their training journeys as they prepared to step onto the dance floor. Social media influencer Alix Earle admitted that ballroom dance was a new challenge despite her previous dance experience, describing rehearsals as “a little humbling so far.” Actress Danielle Fishel expressed enthusiasm about sharing the stage with Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, saying, “When I found out Jordan was on the season, I was like, oh my gosh.” Meanwhile, wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin playfully compared the physical demands of dancing to his experience with crocodile catching, quipping, “Croc catching is easy compared to this.”
Jordan Chiles brought a flair of excitement about the technical elements she hopes to incorporate, mentioning the potential for flips and choreography that will put her gymnastics skills to the test. The diverse talents and backgrounds of the Season 34 cast promise a dynamic and engaging competition filled with surprising moments and artistic growth.
