Aaaand Here's the Complete "DWTS" Cast

September 1, 2015

We’re about to kick off Season 21 of “Dancing with the Stars.”

SEASON. TWENTY-ONE. OF “DWTS.”

That’s a lot of stars and a lot of dancing, friends. But somehow this show manages to reel me in, season after season. (I say we go for 50.)

A few weeks back, we heard about the pros participating in this newest “DWTS” iteration. (The list is stacked.) But the “DWTS” people had been playing coy about the star contestants, as they tend to do.

Until this morning
.

Here, ladies and gentlemen, is the full cast for Season 21, which premieres Monday, September 14. To help you figure out who to pick for your annual “DWTS” bracket, I’ve included—where possible*—GIFs indicating each star’s dancing ability. (You’re welcome.)
