The popular TV celebrity dance competition Dancing With the Stars is launching its spin-off show, Dancing with the Stars: Juniors on Sunday, October 7. Similar to the original show, 12 celebrities will perform choreographed routines with professional ballroom dancers, but on this show both the celebrities and professionals are kids. Some of the celebrity kids have reached fame on their own including black-ish star Miles Brown. Others are children of celebrities including Sophia Pippen, 9-year-old daughter of NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Chicago Bulls). Pippen and his wife of 21 years, Larsa Younan, are in the DWTS audience cheering on their daughter. So is Younan’s best friend, Kim Kardashian West and her two little ones.
This isn’t Younan’s first time on TV. She starred as herself on the Bravo reality show The Real Housewives of Miami in 2011, the same year Kim Kardashian married NBA player Kris Humphries. Younan was there at the wedding which was filmed for Keeping Up with the Kardashians. (DWTS star Julianna Hough was at the wedding, too, among many other celebs.) Dancing with the Stars: Juniors airs Sundays at 8pm on ABC, right before a new season of Shark Tank.
