DANCING WITH THE STARS SEASON 34 - LET’S GOOOO! Robert, you are going to absolutely shine in the ballroom. I wish I could express the magnitude of how proud I am of you and everything you have achieved.

Following a strong run last fall, ABC has renewed the long-running competition show for a 34th season. DWTS has also named its first castmember for the coming season: conservationist and TV host Robert Irwin. The rest of the celebrity cast and their professional partners will be announced closer to the season premiere.
