Dancing With the Stars Season 32: Celebs and Pros Gear Up
The word that perfectly sums up the feelings of the Dancing With the Stars Season 32 cast about their pro dancer partners is “excited.” Mauricio Umansky, a star from Buying Beverly Hills, was thrilled to learn he’d be dancing with the former mirrorball trophy winner, Emma Slater. He exclusively shared with Us Weekly on September 13, shortly after the cast reveal on Good Morning America, “Emma’s an absolute veteran and so good.” He praised Slater as the best pro, an excellent teacher, communicator, and choreographer, all while sharing his competitive spirit. He enthusiastically declared, “We’re just gonna go crush it and we’re gonna create magic.”
Some of the pros were equally thrilled about their celebrity pairings for the upcoming season, premiering on Tuesday, September 26. Daniella Karagach couldn’t contain her excitement about dancing with Jason Mraz. She and her husband, Pasha Pashkov, were big fans of the Grammy winner’s music, making her partnership even more thrilling. Karagach jokingly remarked that Pashkov was even more excited than her.
Jason Mraz himself noted that Karagach’s “new mom energy” helped him learn how to dance effectively, highlighting her no-nonsense teaching approach. Despite his initial jealousy over his wife’s partner, Pashkov expressed his excitement about dancing alongside Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix, particularly after her highly publicized breakup with Tom Sandoval.
Madix shared her anticipation, saying, “I have only heard the best things about Pasha, so I was really, really stoked to have him as my partner.”
The DWTS Season 32 cast promises an exciting lineup, and the competition is bound to be fierce. From celebrity partnerships to personal stories, it’s shaping up to be a memorable season.
Season 32 of Dancing With the Stars will premiere on Tuesday, September 26, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+.
