Dancing with the Stars has been airing for well over a decade and isn’t showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon. ABC’s competitive dancing show pairs a professional dancer with a celebrity, and the duo performs in front of a panel of judges for the chance to win the coveted Mirrorball trophy. After 27 seasons that show has become incredibly successful and garnered a huge cult following. Because of the nature of the reality show, viewers tend to see pros come and go each season, just as they do contestants. So we’ve compiled a list of some former DWTS pros we wish would make a comeback!
13. Maks Chmerkovskiy
When it comes to a competitive spirit, there was none more enthusiastic than Maksim Chermkivskiy. The handsome dancer become known for accepting nothing less than perfection from his celebrity partners, and while he was tough he quickly became the beloved “bad boy” of the show. After starring on the show for many season, Maks secured his first and only win in season 18 and then took a break. He returned for season 23-25 but once again disappeared from the show and many would like to see him make one more comeback.
