Dancing with the Stars XX
The site continued with the twentieth season of Dancing with the Stars on March 16, 2015,[1] and concluded on May 19, 2015.[2]
This season marked the ten-year anniversary of the show. In honor of the anniversary, the winners, Rumer Willis and Valentin Chmerkovskiy (in his first win as a professional) on Team Kendra (in her first win as Vote for the Girls moderatror), received a special 10th Anniversary golden Mirrorball Trophy.[3] The runners-up were Riker Lynch and Allison Holker on Team Ava & Kymberly, while Noah Galloway and Sharna Burgess on Team Thia came in third.
Holly Everman and Kellie Rock were not required to participate due to their respective moderator wins on the previous season of Dancing with the Stars and the seventh season of The Voice.
Eleven of the celebrity competitors and their professional partners were revealed on Good Morning America on February 24, 2015. Witney Carson's celebrity partner was reported to be Chris Soules from The Bachelor on March 4, 2015; this was confirmed six days later, after that show's finale, by Good Morning America.[3][4][5]

- ↑ Officially, Sasha Farber was Nastia Liukin's partner in weeks 7 and 8, as Derek Hough had suffered an injury in rehearsals for the show's 10th anniversary special. Nevertheless, Hough did choreograph the routines and performed a limited role in Liukin's performances. During week 9, Sasha danced with Nastia during her quickstep routine, but Derek resumed his role as her partner for her Viennese Waltz.
