The cast of Dancing With the Stars knows it takes two to tango.
Ahead of season 34 of the ABC competition series, 14 celebrity contestants—including Robert Irwin, Alix Earle, Whitney Leavitt and more—have officially been matched with the pro dancers who will mentor them on the dance floor this fall.
Indeed, Alix hard-launched her partnership with Valentin Chmerkovski by giving her followers a sneak peek into their undeniable chemistry.
In a video shared to TikTok Sept. 3, Valentin spun the influencer around while wearing the most fabulous purple ensembles. And in the caption, Alix added a simple, “Surprise!!!”
Meanwhile, Robert revealed the identify of his partner that same day, when Witney Carson popped out from behind him in a TikTok video set to Cortisa Star’s “Fun.”
He added in the caption, “LETS GO WITNEY.”
And while some fans predicted Robert would be paired with pro dancer Rylee Arnold, she ended up finding her perfect match in Pentatonix’s Scott Hoying.
“I feel like immediately we just became besties,” Rylee told E! News of her partner. “He walked through the door, and we just clicked. That’s the first thing that just helps so much in the dancing relationship is just making sure that you enjoy each other and enjoy each other’s company.”
Similarly, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star couldn’t contain her excitement after finding out she would be sharing the stage with Mark Ballas, who is returning to the show after he announced his retirement following his season 31 win alongside Charli D’Amelio.
“When I saw that it was Mark, like jaw wide open,” Whitney recently told People of the moment she found out who her partner was. “In my mind, I was like, play it cool, play it cool, play it cool. But internally, I was like freaking out.”
As for who else is linking up? Other pairs include Jen Affleck and Jan Ravnik; Hilaria Baldwin and Gleb Savchenko; Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa; Baron Davis and Britt Stewart; Dylan Efron and Danielle Karagach; Corey Feldman and Jenna Johnson; Danielle Fishel and Pasha Pashkov; Elaine Hendrix and Alan Bernsten; Lauren Jauregui and Brandon Armstrong; and Andy Richter and Emma Slater.
