A video posted by the official “Dancing with the Stars” Instagram account and tagging co-host and former Mirrorball Trophy winner Alfonso Ribeiro has given fans a sneak peek into what is to come in Season 34.
Alfonso Ribeiro Celebrates the Return of ‘Dancing with the Stars’
As fans prepare for Season 34, which is set to premiere on September 16, there have been a few promotional videos released to generate excitement. This includes a clip on Instagram showing Ribeiro looking very stylish in a black suit, white shirt, and black bowtie, as he addresses he cameras. “Hey, everyone,” he says. “I just want to say how excited we are to have everyone back on Season 34. Our 20th year on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’”
He continues, “It’s going to be fantastic. I can’t wait for you guys to come take the ride with us this season.”
The caption on the post reads, “@therealalfonsoribeiro is ready for Season 34 of #DWTS! Watch the premiere Tuesday, September 16 on @abc and @disneyplus! Next day on @hulu.” However, the caption for the post offers no further clues. Is another big announcement coming? Do we know which professional dancers will be signing on for this season? How about celebrity contestants?
Fans have been waiting very patiently for the contestants to be announced, and so far, there are only four. Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin (whose sister Bindi Irwin competed on and won Season 21 alongside Derek Hough), social media influencer Alix Earle, and “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt. Are these great stars? Absolutely! But fans are also ready for more!
DWTS Fans Are Ready for a New Announcement
Comments on the video include, “So excited!!! I’ve been looking forward to the show for a while now!!,” and “Soooo can’t wait Let’s Go!! Love Love DWTS!!”
Although it’s always great to see anything with Ribeiro, DWTS fans are also calling for a new announcement about the upcoming season, given that it will premiere in less than a month. “WHERES THE ANNOUNCEMENT!!” a fan wrote, and their comment has been liked hundreds of times in agreement.
“Okay, can we get the “stars/pros” announcement? I’m happy they’re back and hosting but we’re ready THE announcement!” another fan wrote.
Professional dancer Emma Slater also appeared to poke fun at the video with a playful comment. She wrote, “Love this announcement,” followed by three crying with laughter emojis.
