AceShowbiz - Witney Carson, a beloved professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars, has announced her return to the show for season 33. Carson has been absent from the show since Season 31, where she and her partner Wayne Brady placed third. Her return has sparked excitement among fans who have long awaited her presence on the dance floor.
Carson's last appearance on "DWTS" was alongside Alfonso Ribeiro, whom she guided to victory in Season 19. Her return coincides with the announcement of Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik as the first celebrity competitor for season 33. The full cast will be revealed on Good Morning America on September 4th.
Carson's hiatus from "Dancing with the Stars" was prompted by her desire for stability and to prioritize her family. After welcoming her first child in 2021, she decided to focus her attention on her newborn. Now, with her children slightly older, she feels ready to return to the competition.
Carson's return has been met with enthusiasm from fellow pro dancers, including Riley Arnold, Lindsey Arnold, and Julianne Hough. While Carson's exact partner for Season 33 is yet to be revealed, she has already begun practicing at the "DWTS" studio.
Meanwhile, Lindsay Arnold has addressed speculation about her own return to the show. She explained that while she is open to the possibility in the future, she is currently enjoying her time as a mother and is not guaranteed to be cast in every season.
Season 33 of "Dancing with the Stars" premieres on September 17th and promises to be another exciting installment with the return of fan favorites and the introduction of new talent.
