It's time to once again put on your dancing shoes, as Season 33 of Dancing with the Stars will be hitting our TV screens on September 17 on ABC and Disney+.
Hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, the long-running reality competition show pairs celebrities with trained ballroom dancers to compete in themed choreographed dance routines that are judged by a panel of renowned experts.
This year, celebrities competing for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy include Beverly Hills, 90210 actor Tori Spelling paired with Pasha Pashkov, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks competing with pro Val Chmerkovskiy, actor Eric Roberts—Emma Roberts' father and Julia Roberts' brother—dancing with Britt Stewart, Olympic rugby star Ilona Maher competing with Alan Bersten and more.
Who can forget that Anna Delvey has also been cast, with many fans of the show mad that the long-running ballroom competition is featuring a convicted criminal on the dance floor. Delvey was convicted of grand larceny on multiple counts in 2019, after years of pretending to be a socialite and using that ruse to scam $275,000, People reported. The grifter was released in 2021 after serving four years, though she has been on house arrest. She will be wearing an ankle monitor throughout the competition.
If you want to keep up with the contestants, as well as any behind-the-scenes information, your best bet is to follow the stars and their dancing partners on Instagram.
Here Newsweek has compiled the Instagram accounts of the Season 33 cast if available.

Koine 'Koko' Iwasaki Nyemchek Absent
Dancing With the Stars pro Koine "Koko" Iwasaki Nyemchek previously broke her silence on not being part of the Season 33 lineup.
The new cast was revealed on Good Morning America on September 4—but Iwasaki Nyemchek's name was noticeably absent.
"Waking up to seeing this season 33 cast of Dancing with the Stars, I'm excited for this cast and my friends!! I won't be doing this season, but you know I'll be cheering my people on :) also YES TO EZRA!!!" the So You Think You Can Dance alum shared via her Instagram Stories, referring to pro Sosa—who is paired with convicted con artist Delvey.
"While I feel I'm entering this new phase in life, my love for dance and my excitement for what's to come are stronger than ever," she added. "The next steps in my journey are unfolding beautifully, and I can't wait to share them with you all in time. I am really happy and feelin really aligned 🤓 Cheers to it all!!"
In July, Iwasaki Nyemchek married fiancé Kiki Nyemchek. The pair met while competing against one another on season 14 of SYTYCD in 2017—where she placed second and he came in fourth. They confirmed their romance in 2018 and got engaged in 2022, the same year they were on the Dancing With the Stars Tour and Iwasaki Nyemchek became pro for season 31 of the hit ABC show.
