But now that were enveloped in bright, shiny things once more, everything feels right.
Theyll each dance two routines over two nights before someone gets the boot.
Lets see how the new crop fares on night one.
DANCING WITH THE STARS – “Episode 2701 – “Dancing with the Stars” is back with a new, dynamic cast of 13 celebrities who are ready to move out of their comfort zones and hit the ballroom floor on a special two-night premiere. The competition begins with a two-hour season premiere, live, MONDAY, SEPT. 24 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network.

Shes given the subject a lot of thought.
This sudden interest in the undead is because her 17-year-old partner is an actor from the Disney original movieZombies.
For us oldies, Milo is also the son of actress Camryn Manheim.
He dances with so much gusto!
The judges warn him about controlling his limbs hes very tall but overall, theyre impressed.
Shes in great hands with Keo.
Shes in especially great hands with Keo in his blue-green sparkle suit.
), theres room for improvement.
Len didnt think the style suited her (disagree, dude).
Both Carrie Ann and Bruno want Evanna to work on her shoulders and extending her lines.
They score her pretty low.
Not like challenges are anything new to Danelle.
Um, yes shes blind but shes also aParalympic alpine skier.
Take that in for a second, it is incredible.
You cant teach chemistry, folks!
They perform a sexy, sultry salsa that I will immediately be rewinding and watching again.
So, they liked it.
Have truer words ever been spoken in the ballroom?
Isnt that what really matters?
Not on this show!
The judges are not impressed.
Bruno calls out Nikkis lack of hip action.
Alexis here has over 12 million followers (great for votes!)
and is doingDWTSbecause it was her late mothers favorite show.
Doesnt the jive seem like a rough pull for week one?
Maybe not with Alan, whom the judges all commend for his choreography.
And I shall commend him for working that paper ice-cream shop hat.
They lean hard into that recognition, and his first spin on the dance floor is allDukesthemed.
John is a big surprise of the night!
The singer is partnered with Brandon for his first season as a pro.
This is a delightful turn of events.
Our little Troupe Brandon is all grown up!
And, you guys, he gives good choreography.
What does this mean?
Still, its clear Carrie Ann, Bruno, and Len are all sweet on Tinashe.
Its only week one and already hes sporting a tuxedo with tails.
That boy came to win.
Two-time champion and newly betrothed (oh you havent heard thatVal and Jenna are engaged?
Have you been locked in a dark, empty room for several months?)
Val is partnered withFacts of Lifestar Nancy McKeon.
She wants to show her daughters that it’s crucial that you face your fears in life.
Her fear is fringe.
Or, maybe, doing something completely foreign to her in front of millions of people on live television.
One of those two things.
But she doesnt look scared!
She looks like shesliving.
She also looks a little like Mark Ballas.
Carrie Ann praises Nancy for her animated facial expressions shes a storyteller!
but Bruno, um, did not care for them.
Theres a good possibility neither of those things will happen.
The first, because Grocery Store Joe is really catchy and also his first routine is grocery story-themed.
The second, because he has a lot of trouble in his quickstep with Jenna.
Dont they know I, unfortunately, have no sway over the outcome of this show?
Choreography of my dreams.
The rest of it was fun, too!
all hope is not lost.
All 13 couples will be dancing the same style in a new routine tomorrow night.
Scores from both dances will be factored into the first elimination of the season.
So dance your little hearts out, you precious baby birds!
you’re free to do this!
