Dancing With The Stars has a new cast of characters, and they were photographed on Thursday with their professional dancer counterparts during a live airing of Good Morning America. While DWTS typically features former TV stars, a few well-known names, and a bunch of D-list actors and actresses, this year we actually have a YouTube star on the show courtesy of 18-year-old Bethany Mota. She will be dancing with Derek Hough.

And finally fashion designer Betsey Johnson will be dancing with Tony Dovolani. We don’t have a picture of the pair together, but she offered this fun tweet.

We don’t currently have pairing pictures or tweets for the other Dancing with the Stars competitors which include: Randy Couture (Karina Smirnoff), Tommy Chong (Peta Murgatroyd), and Tavis Smiley (Sharna Burgess).
One person we won’t see this year is Maks Chmerkovskiy. Despite being one of the more popular DWTS dancers, Maks decided to leave one of TV’s most popular dancing competitions.
Speaking about this years cast Executive producer Rob Wade said: “We’ve been around for 10 years, and we still have managed to find areas of stars that we’ve never had before.”
Are you ready for another season of Dancing With The Stars?
