Hosts: Samantha Harris, Tom Bergeron
Premise: Teams made up of one celebrity and one professional ballroom dancer compete against each other in a wide variety of ballroom and Latin dance styles to win the mirror ball trophy.
It seems like dancing, in one form or another, has been on television pretty much non-stop eons, and now, the granddaddy of all dance shows,
Dancing with the Stars, is back on the air for the third time since last fall for a seventh season.
Each season of
Dancing with the Stars has brought the level of competition up a level. Last season, former Olympic figure skater
Kristi Yamaguchi and her professional partner
Mark Ballas had a nearly flawless season, earning the most perfect 30s of any other pair in the show's history. Will
Dancing with the Stars be able to find a celebrity who can top Kristi and Mark's ability? We'll just have to wait and see.
The new cast of semi-obscure stars who will foxtrot and tango their way into our hearts will be officially announced on August 25 on
Good Morning America. Season 7 of
Dancing with the Stars will begin with a three-night premiere event on September 22.
Will you watch the new season of Dancing with the Stars?
