“I was a little nervous about not dancing on the show at all last season”. They will also get to attend exclusive performances, take part in lessons with the ship’s professional dancers and watch a fashion show featuring real costumes worn by participants on the show. I was doing it for the last 10 years”, says Smirnoff, who took season 20 off to promote her book We’re Just Not That Into You: “Dating Disasters from the Trenches and to star in the indie film Tango Shalom opposite Lainie Kazan.

Although the pro cast list for “Dancing with the Stars” season 21 will be revealed in short order, fans will have to wait a bit longer to see which celebs will strap on their dancing shoes.

She is one of the most steady stars on the ABC hit.

Although DWTS pro-dancer Cheryl Burke told ET that it would be “amazing” to have Caitlyn on the show, her publicist said “no thank you” when asked if the I Am Cait star would participate in the show.

Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe, now engaged to Shawn Booth, is rumored to be one of the celebrities ABC is considering for the upcoming season of DWTS. She won the Mirrorball trophy with J.R. Martinez in season 13, came in second place with Corbin Bleu in season 17 and came in third with Jacoby Jones in season 16.

Co-hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews will return this fall along with judges Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, Julianne Hough, and Carrie Ann Inaba.

“I’m excited and a little nervous”, admits Smirnoff.
