‘Dancing With the Stars’ announces 2026 Live Tour: Everything to know about the pro dancers, cities and dates

<p><em>Dancing With The Stars</em> has officially crowned the winner of Season 33. The hot favourites Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnso were picked as the winners of season 33 of DWTS.</p>

<p>The decision came after scores and voting from the November 20 semifinals were combined with live viewer votes and scores from the finale.</p>

<p><em>Dancing With The Stars</em> awards the Len Goodman Mirrorball trophy to its finale winners.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Also, this year, yet again the voting record was shattered during the finale. The finale night for <em>DWTS</em> opened a bit differently for season 33 as half an hour of pretaped segments of the judges breaking down the finalists’ journies. Then there was a segment where all celebrities of the season returned for an opening number and danced to Madonna’s popular track “Holiday”.</p>

<p><em>Dancing With The Stars</em> like all previous years had some notable names participate. Amongst them was Anna Delvey, the woman whose life became the subject of a Netflix show<em> Inventing Anna</em>- a miniseries on how she lived a high-society life by frauding people and making them believe that she was a real-life heiress to a German legacy. Anna came to the<em> DWTS</em> stage during the word “nothing” during her dance to Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing.”</p>

<p>Later, rumoured couple Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber and partners-turned-couple-turned-exes Gleb Savchenko and Brooks Nader danced to Peaches &amp; Herb’s “Reunited.”</p>

<p>Also, <em>DWTS </em>season 32 winners Xochitl Gomez and Val Chmerkovskiy danced to Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club.” Then, Mark Ballas returned to dance the “Libertango” by Tango Bardo with Derek Hough, honouring the way the Argentine Tango began — between two men.</p>

Dancing With The Stars gets its season 33 winner

<p>It’s back to business for all productions in Hollywood as the Writers Guild of America managed to get a lucrative deal with the studios, ending the months-long strike that put a pause on all kinds of projects. While we don’t know the details of the deal, it has managed to end the 146-day strike and will act as a push button for all major works in Hollywood.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now that the deal is through, among the first things to resume is <em>Dancing With the Stars</em> which is ready with its premiere date. ABC confirmed that <em>Dancing With the Stars</em> will premiere on September 26, and will be available live on Disney+.</p>

<p>Before the deal was through, ABC had put a plan in place to postpone the show’s premiere amid backlash from the WGA. Celebrity cast members were feeling heightened pressure and had growing concerns about participating in the show, as WGA members were picketing <em>Dancing With the Stars</em>&nbsp;rehearsals, in an effort to delay the show or have celebrities bow out.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-we-did-it-hollywood-reacts-to-tentative-deal-ending-months-long-writers-strike-639302">We did it! Hollywood reacts to tentative deal ending months-long writers strike</a></p>

<p>Amid the backlash, one cast member, actor Matt Walsh announced that he would pause his participation in the show amid the ongoing WGA strike. According to fresh reports, the actor is back on the show.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, not all’s well in Hollywood still as the SAG-AFTRA members continue to strike. But SAG-AFTRA is backing the cast of <em>Dancing With the Stars</em>. They said that the members who are on the show are not violating union rules by participating in the show.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“They are required to go to work, are not in violation of SAG-AFTRA strike rules, and we support them in fulfilling their contractual obligations,” a SAG-AFTRA spokesperson said.</p>

WGA deal ends strike: Dancing With The Stars sets premiere date

<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky&nbsp;is a man of many talents. In the past few weeks, Zelensky&nbsp;has been admired for his leadership even as Russia continues to invade Ukraine.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Zelenskky was known to be a popular stand up comedian but Twitter is now going ga-ga over his dancing skills.&nbsp;<br />
An old video from 2006 has surfaced online which had Zelensky as one of the participants of the country's version of 'Dancing With The Stars'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Fans from Twitter to TikTok can't get enough of Zelensky’s perfect moves — including one number that saw him and his partner Olena Shoptenko donning full blindfolds as they mentally counted steps, hitting their marks with perfection.<br />
<br />
"I actually fainted tho ," one Tik Tok user captioned a clip of Zelensky and Shoptenko performing.&nbsp;</p>

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is a man of many talents. In the past few weeks, Zelensky has been admired for his leadership even as Russia continues to invade Ukraine. Zelenskky was known to be a popular stand up comedian but Twitter is now going ga-ga over his dancing skills. An old video from 2006 has surfaced online which had Zelensky as one of the participants of the country's version of 'Dancing With The Stars'. Fans from Twitter to TikTok can't get enough of Zelensky’s perfect moves — including one number that saw him and his partner Olena Shoptenko donning full blindfolds as they mentally counted steps, hitting their marks with perfection. "I actually fainted tho ," one Tik Tok user captioned a clip of Zelensky and Shoptenko performing.

Spice Girl Melanie C to join the 30th season of ‘Dancing With The Stars’

<p>American television personality Tyra Banks would love to see a 'Real Housewives'&nbsp;star win the mirror ball trophy despite a report from earlier this week that claimed she wanted to ban the women from competing on 'Dancing with the Stars'.<br />
<br />
According to a&nbsp;news agency, the 46-year-old star`s longtime publicist, Elana Rose of the Rose Group, told the outlet on Thursday, "This is 100 per cent untrue. She`s a huge fan of the `Housewives` and everyone knows Tyra is a businesswoman first. As a businesswoman, why would she say anything against the `Housewives`? She has nothing to do with the casting."<br />
<br />
Banks even "just tried to get one of her really good friends on the 'Housewives!'&nbsp;She watches the shows. She loves them."The model turned mogul is also quite familiar with some of Bravo`s stars as she used to model with Cynthia Bailey and Eva Marcelle got her start on 'America's Next Top Model'.&nbsp;We`re told she`s also a huge fan of NeNe Leakes.Banks` affinity for the network doesn`t stop there.<br />
<br />
Rose said, "She loves Andy [Cohen]. She`s been on `Watch What Happens Live` several times. She`s a huge fan of the Clubhouse."As reported by Page Six, the Tyra Banks Company Chairman and CEO most recently visited the clubhouse as a guest alongside Marcille in February. Perhaps Banks will take former `RHONY` star Bethenny Frankel up on her offer to chat on her new podcast, `Just B with Bethenny Frankel.`<br />
<br />
The 49-year-old Skinnygirl mogul Frankel tweeted on Thursday,&nbsp;after criticising the now-debunked report,&nbsp;that she`s "welcome anytime as she has built a successful brand on her own in her own way."</p>

Sean Spicer's debut on 'Dancing with the Stars'

It was a hair-raising day for Louis Smith at the Rio Olympics on Saturday.<br />
<br />
But rather than his fluid movements over the pommel horse providing the excitement during men&#39;s qualifying, it was the hair tied up on top of his head.<br />
<br />
&quot;People are calling it a man bun. I don&#39;t call it anything, I just tie it up,&quot; grinned the British showman whose toned back is covered with tattoos of two angels and a message for his late grandmother.<br />
<br />
&quot;I was growing it and I hadn&#39;t put any hair spray in it for training so it was flopping around everywhere. I went to one of the girls in training and asked for a hairband and I just tied it up.<br />
<br />
&quot;I caught myself in a mirror and thought, &#39;It looks all right,&#39; so I&#39;ve just been doing this every day as it&#39;s so convenient.&quot;<br />
<br />
The man who waltzed to victory in Britain&#39;s version of &#39;Dancing with the Stars&#39; after claiming a silver medal at the 2012 London Games on his signature apparatus was happy with his new look as it saves time with his daily beauty regime.<br />
<br />
&quot;You get out of the shower, tie it up and it&#39;s done. Before I had to condition it, had to straighten it, had to hair spray it back,&quot; he added.<br />
<br />
&quot;I haven&#39;t seen anybody else with this hairstyle before and it&#39;s nice to be different.&quot;<br />

For the record, he was heading for another pommel horse showdown with world champion Max Whitlock after the British duo topped the provisional standings in the apparatus.<br />
