Dancing With The Stars  – Judge Carrie Ann Inaba Reflects On Past Season

Turning to social media, Dancing With The Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba posted a look back at season 31. And she expressed appreciation to those who helped make it a memorable year for her. Carrie Ann posted a recap video that included fellow judges Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough, noted Yahoo.

“I want to thank everyone who was a part of last year,” shared the DWTS judge. “All in all, it was a really good year. It was a year of growth, learning how to work with my body and health, removing what doesn’t work,” she pointed out. “And DWTS came back with a boom!”

However, Carrie Ann confessed that it did feel “grueling” occasionally. But the DWTS personality called it “her favorite season in a long time.” And she praised “every single person who worked on @dancingwiththestars this year” for working “harder than they ever have before. It was a thrill,” added Carrie Ann. As a result of the change from ABC, the DWTS judge feels she enjoyed an “intoxicating refresh.”

DWTS – Season 32 Features Change

But as the Dancing With the Stars judge looked ahead, she pointed out that change “is inevitable.” And Carrie Ann added, “So grateful to be a part of the lasting legacy that brought dance back into the mainstream conversation. As we know, life is always changing,” she shared. “And even though change can be scary it’s the very essence of being alive.” 

But Carrie Ann vowed to embrace the changes that season 32 will bring. And she shared that when “you embrace [change], it embraces you back.” DWTS fans will get the chance to experience significant changes when the new season begins. For example, rather than Tyra Banks, Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro will co-host.

And other changes will occur in season 32. For instance, DWTS will return to ABC after moving to Disney+ from the network. And the judging panel will change as well. Prior to his death, Len Goodman had shared his retirement plans. As a result, Derek Hough will join Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli. The panel might stay at three judges or DWTS may decide to rotate guest judges.
