Dancing With the Stars Mixes Things Up in Season 8!

There are several new, big twists in the new season of Dancing With the Stars. For one thing, there are three real-life couples competing for the first time. There will also be a “Dance Off” between the two couples with the lowest scores each week too. That’s a big change!

Back this season is the Ballroom Kids Competition and the Stars of Dance segment. I think we’re in for a fresh, new season this time around when season 8 premieres on March 9!

Husband and wife Ty Murray and Jewel compete for bragging rights, while newly engaged professional dancers Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff go head to head. To top it off, country crooner Chuck Wicks teams with girlfriend and two-time “Dancing with the Stars” champ Julianne Hough. I’m thrilled that Julianne will be back after all. She said at the end of season 7 that she would be taking the season off.

I’m also thrilled that my very most favorite style of dance to do, East Coast Swing, will be a part of the season, along with the sultry Argentine Tango. Wow! This is going to be fantastic!!

I am searching everywhere for the list of pro dancers who will be paired with the new celebrity dancers and will post it as soon as I can find it. Stay tuned!!
