Dancing With The Stars' professional dancer Louis Van Amstel, who is an original member of the DWTS cast and back for his fifth season, recently opined on his new dance partner Kelly Osbourne and the upcoming season.
Returning to the beginning, Van Amstel that in the first season in 2005, there were only six couples -- and he danced with Trista Sutter.
But in this upcoming season, the number of celebrity dancers has escalated to 16, the largest cast ever. From the beginning to now Van Amstel said that DWTS has been a whole lot of fun -- and he has had the pleasure of gliding across the dance floor with such stars as Lisa Rinna, Monique Coleman and Priscilla Presley.
Van Amstel and his new partner Kelly Osbourne have already started rehearsals. "The format of the show has not changed," said Van Amstel. "You get a celebrity with little or no training." And then laughed and joked to abclocal. "I have my work cut out for me this season. We have so much fun. She's a little naughty, so am I. We're a good team."
Van Amstel also revealed that the show will be spicing things up a bit. "They've added dances none of us has ever done," he said. "There's double elimination in the middle, some weeks where people at home do not vote at all."
Another change this season is that limits have been placed on rehearsal time. "I think it's actually a good thing, too many injuries," explained Van Amstel. "I'm about health. You need to make sure you warm up, cool down, do other activity than just dance."
The first episode of Dancing With the Stars will air on Monday, Sept 21.
