Tune into ABC on Monday Sept. 12 for an all new season of “Dancing With the Stars” at 8 p.m. ET. This fall, I was planning on being immersed in rehearsals for Singin’ in the Rain on Broadway, but due to successes of the shows now running, that project has been delayed because there simply isn’t a theater available.

It is all about the siblings on Dancing with the Stars 2016 this season, as now it is being reported that Julianne and Derek Hough will return to the ballroom this fall on Dancing with the Stars Season 23!

Derek explained on Instagram: “I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason”. “Singin’ in the Rain is still very much part of my future plans”.

There are less than three weeks more to go before “Dancing with the Stars” season 23 will finally premiere but the official cast list won’t be revealed until Tuesday, Aug. 30.

Lochte, Babyface and McCormick will reportedly join other confirmed “Dancing with the Stars” season 23 participants, including model Amber Rose, “General Hospital” star Emma Samms, “Wizards of Waverly Place” actor Jake T. Austin and “Little Woman” actress Terra Jole.

“It’s always great to be back with my DWTS family, coaching, creating and making lasting memories”, he said, adding that he’s still set to star on NBC’s “Hairspray Live!”. “Production has said to me, honestly, ‘People are complaining, so we’re going to give you this partner, because it seems more hard.’ Then I ended up winning”. No, she will be back behind the judges’ table, which she served as one of the judges during Season 19 through 21.
