'Dancing with the Stars' Season 22 Switch-Up pairs revealed!

Dancing with the Stars' Switch-Up couples for next week's show have been determined.


ABC has announced whom Dancing with the Stars fans have paired off for "Switch-Up Week," which airs Monday, April 18.

The show's Switch-Up format forces each celebrity to rehearse and perform a routine with a brand new pro dancer. The twist takes the celebrities and pros out of their comfort zones and really puts their skills to the test. Season 22's original celebrity and professional pairings will resume the following week.

On Good Morning America Wednesday, Ginger Zee was introduced to her temporary Switch-Up partner for next week -- Mark Ballas.

"I'm so excited," Zee, who's been working with Val Chmerkovskiy since the start of the competition, said as Ballas was welcomed on the set. "This is so good!"


"He's at the top of the leaderboard too. This guy is so creative, so amazing. I can't wait to work with you," the meteorologist told Ballas.

"I think the whole [point] of the Switch-Up is seeing how well you can do with such a short amount of time," Ballas explained on GMA. "We've been spending every day with someone and you get to know someone really well, but [Ginger and I] have hung out a little in the hall and Val and I are great friends. He's already given me [a lecture]."

After letting out a little laugh, Ballas revealed his salsa dance with Zee will feature a lot of fierce "booty shaking."
