Celebrities will showcase their dancing skills
Bonner Bolton was given a one percent chance to walk again after being paralyzed following a frightening accident.
Bolton not only recovered but has gone on to have a successful modeling career. Charo appeared on numerous television shows in the 1960’s and 1970’s and is known for her trademark “Cuchi-Cuchi” expression, which eventually became a hit single. Chris Kattan is best known for his work on “Saturday Night Live” and the film “Night at the Roxbury,” starring opposite Will Ferrell. David Ross is a two-time World Series champion. Erika Jayne is a cast member of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” Heather Morris is known for her role as Brittany Pierce on “Glee.”
Who will impress the audience and judges this season?
Also putting on his dancing shoes is Mr. T, who rose to fame as B.A. Baracus in the television series “The A Team.” Although Nancy Kerrigan’s mission was to bring home the gold in the 1994 Winter Olympics, she is famously known as the victim of an assault plotted by skating competitor Tonya Harding and her then-husband.
Olympic Gold medalist and gymnast Simone Biles will also take on the dance floor. “The Bachelor’s” Nick Viall will be taking a break from love competitions, while Fifth Harmony’s Normani Kordei will be learning more dance moves. Perhaps Rashad Jennings is hoping to incorporate some gridiron moves on the dance floor as well.
