The season doesn’t start for another month, but I figured I’d start a thread since there was an announcement yesterday regarding this season’s pro dancers.  
ABC has announced these 10 pros for season 20:

Mark Ballas  
Sharna Burgess  
Val Chmerkovskiy  
Kym Johnson  
Witney Carson  
Artem Chigvintsev  
Tony Dovolani  
Allison Holker  
Peta Murgatroyd  
Emma Slater

There will be 2 more pros, as yet unnamed. Derek Hough is taking a break, Cheryl Burke left after last season, and it looks like Karina Smirnoff has also decided not to return, so it won’t be any of them.

Nice to see Kym back! And my favorite–Sharna. And I hope Emma gets paired with someone with a chance this season.

The celebrities will be announced on Feb. 24. Has anyone heard any likely suspects?

Season 20 premieres on March 16.
