Dancing With the Stars veteran Derek Hough thought he wouldn’t be able to come back for Season 20 – due to his commitment with Radio City Music Hall’s New York Spring Spectacular. But he will! Season 20 will be Hough’s 15th season on the show. He’s the only professional dancer to win 5 Mirror Ball Trophies. This season he’s partnered with former Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Nastia Liukin. (The pair won’t lack for athletic ability!)
Other celebrities vying for the Mirror Ball are Shark Tank’s Robert Herjavec (with Kym Johnson), football player Michael Sam (with Peta Murgatroyd), and daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, Rumer Willis (Val Chmerkovskiy), among others. The Dancing With the Stars season 20 premiere airs March 16 at 8 p.m. on ABC. Here are the 11 couples competing in season 20 of Dancing With the Stars:
- Noah Galloway (Men’s Health 2014 Ultimate Guy) with Sharna Burgess
