Dancing with the Stars 16 (Courtesy Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Dancing with the Stars returned for its sixteenth season. Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke Charvet returned as hosts, while Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli returned as judges. The Harold Wheeler orchestra and singers also returned to provide the music throughout the season. The season premiered on March 18, 2013. Fractional scores did not continue this season. This was the only time that a contestant has withdrawn in the first results show.

Couples

The cast of eleven and their professional partners was announced on February 26, 2013 on Good Morning America, with Jacoby Jones's participation confirmed two days earlier on February 24 during a network promo for the series airing during the 85th Oscars as a tease for the GMA announcement. This season saw its youngest contestant to date: 16-year old Disney star Zendaya. The previous youngest contestant was Shawn Johnson in season 8 when she was only 17 years old. Professional dancers who participated in the previous season, who will not be returning include Valentin Chmerkovskiy's brother Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Chelsie Hightower, Louis van Amstel, and Anna Trebunskaya.

Lindsay Arnold, a contestant from season nine of So You Think You Can Dance was introduced as a new professional along with Troupe member Sharna Burgess. Gleb Savchenko, who recently participated as a professional on season twelve of the Australian version of Dancing with the Stars, was also announced as a new professional.

Witney Carson, also a contestant from season nine of So You Think You Can Dance, and Julian Tocker will join Oksana Dmytrenko, Henry Byalikov, Emma Slater, and Sasha Farber as the fifth and sixth members of the Dance Troupe.

Two weeks following the cast announcement, Bachelor Sean Lowe was revealed on GMA as the 12th contestant this season partnering with Peta Murgatroyd.

After only two dances, Dorothy Hamill withdrew from the competition due to a potential severe back injury. She is the third celebrity to withdraw due to an injury, after Misty May-Treanor in season seven and Tom DeLay in season nine.
