DWTS Hosts Tease Big Change Ahead of Season 34: ‘We’ve Never Done This’

Fans of “Dancing with the Stars” will soon see a new side of show hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough. On August 15, a post on the ABC celebrity ballroom competition’s official Instagram page featured the two co-hosts teasing something fans have never seen before.

“We’ve done the cha-cha. We’ve danced the samba… the foxtrot… the quickstep. The jive!” Hough and Ribeiro said in the video. “But we’ve never done this.”

The clip then panned to Ribeiro winking at the camera before making hip-hop style dance moves with Hough. The clip was set to the Technotronic song “Pump Up the Jam.”

The caption to the post read: “It’s our #DWTS hosts like you’ve never seen before. 🤭 This Monday, @therealalfonsoribeiro and @juleshough have something special coming your way to hype you up for the season premiere!”

“Dancing with the Stars” Season 34 premieres September 16 on ABC.
