Carrie Ann Inaba’s Instagram Story Briefly Reveals DWTS Season 34 Pro Lineup

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 28, 2025 - Longtime Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba inadvertently leaked the professional dancer roster for Season 34 on her Instagram Story Wednesday night before quickly deleting the posts, sparking fan excitement and speculation.

According to screenshots shared by entertainment outlets, Inaba’s Story featured two slides titled “DWTS Season 34 Male Pros” and “Female Pros.” The revealed male professionals included Alan Bersten, Ezra Sosa, Val Chmerkovskiy, Pasha Pashkov, Mark Ballas, Gleb Savchenko, Brandon Armstrong and newcomer Jan Ravnik, while the female roster consisted of Britt Stewart, Daniella Karagach, Rylee Arnold, Witney Carson, Emma Slater and Jenna Johnson.

Fans on Reddit and other social media platforms reacted with amusement, joking that Inaba “must think she can’t be fired for breaching her NDA” and celebrating the early confirmation of their favorite pros. Many noted that the lineup aligns with prior insider reports, particularly those shared by journalist Kristyn Burtt.

In addition to the pro reveal, the celebrity cast for Season 34 has been announced in stages: wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin and influencer Alix Earle were confirmed in April and May, respectively, followed by The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt in July. Rumors also suggest actress Hilaria Baldwin is set to join the competition, though ABC has yet to officially confirm her participation.

ABC will unveil the full celebrity-pro pairings during a special segment on Good Morning America on Sept. 3, with the season premiere slated for Tuesday, Sept. 16, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+, and streaming next day on Hulu.
