Dancing With The Stars Teased A Major Announcement
On their social media sites, Dancing With The Stars teased a big announcement on Good Morning America, but kept the nature of the announcement very tight-lipped.
See the promo video for the “big” announcement below, which was scheduled to take place on Tuesday, February 10th.
Fans speculated as to what the announcement could be, including suggesting a season of Dancing With The Fans and throwing their own hats in the ring. Other guesses were another all-star season, going back to two seasons per year, and also, a cruise.
Another theory was that the show was announcing a spin-off to find the next professional dancer, according to DWTS insider Kristyn Burtt.
While Burtt does have some good insider information, the spin-off show was not the huge announcement.
Dancing With The Stars Announces First-Ever Fan Convention
With the Dancing With The Stars tour stopping in New York City for a few days, it was only right to have the announcement take place on Good Morning America on the morning of February 10! They even flew in some past pros, including a pregnant Lindsay Arnold and Sasha Farber, and other current pros who are not on the tour.
The show actually announced its first-ever Dancing With The Stars Con, a three-day fan convention that will be held this summer at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Springs, California from July 31-August 2.
The convention will feature some of your favorite pros and celebrities throughout the year, a live game show, amazing performances, interactive photo opportunities, live panels, exhibits, and so much more.
