For awhile there were questions whether Dancing With the Stars could return for season 29, but it is and with big changes! Ahead of a cast announcement it was revealed that ABC had parted ways with hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews and had hired Tyra Banks in their place. It was then revealed that season 29 would premiere on September 14 and along with a new host was promising one of the biggest and best casts yet. On September 2, Good Morning America exclusively revealed the celebrity cast and it is certainly big! It was already revealed that the pros this year include: Peta Murgatroyd, Val Chmerkovskiy, Jenna Johnson, Sharna Burgess, Artem Chigvintsev, Keo Motesepe, Daniella Karagach, Britt Stewart, Brandon Armstrong, Cheryl Burke, Sasha Farber, Pasha Pashkov, Gleb Savchenko, Emma Slater and of course reigning champion Alan Bersten. While we have to wait to see what pros they are partnered with, from actors to reality stars and of course athletes, here are all the celebrities competing on season 29:
Vernon Davis
Football players have seen success on the dance floor and for season 29 the former NFL star trying to take his fancy footwork from the grid iron to the hardwood is Vernon Davis. The former tight end has played for the San Francisco 49ers, the Denver Broncos and the Washington Redskins and with a Super Bowl win under his belt he is looking to add a Mirror Ball trophy to his shelf.
