Spoilers ahead for anyone who hasn't yet watched Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro on ABC or with a Disney+ subscription. And that’s the challenge that got a dance couple sent home this week, in the fourth episode of DWTS: The Next Pro when Jenna Johnson came to guest judge. Meaning fans are that much closer to the September 15th premiere of Dancing with the Stars Season 35 on the 2026 TV schedule. After a round of DWTS: The Next Pro speed dating, where everyone partnered with each other to see how things felt, Adele Zaikman picked A.J.
