The cast has been revealed and there are lots of great choices. We've got Winnie from the Wonder Years, DJ Tanner from Full House, Sean Avery, Drew Carey, Lando Calrissian and many more.
I haven't seen her dance but I am anxious to watch Amy Purdy dance. I don't think there is anything that can hold her back and we will be surprised at what she can do on the dance floor.
