You can expect your favorite and least favorite competitors to show up, especially if they’re one and the same. Dancing With The Stars Junior, meanwhile, will pair the children of celebrities with pro-junior ballroom dancers in a pint-sized version of the flagship series. The cast of DWTS Junior, which is set to debut spring 2018, will be announced at a later date.
