“Dancing with the Stars” has officially announced the cast for the upcoming season, and one of the competing celebrities is from Massachusetts.
With the Season 34 premiere under two weeks away, the ABC dance competition show announced the full cast on “Good Morning America” on Wednesday, Sept. 3, with competing celebrities including influencers, reality stars, athletes and more.
Last season, “Dancing with the Stars” had three competitors representing New England, all of whom made it to the finale: Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik of Worcester, Olympic rugby medalist Ilona Maher of Burlington and former New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola.
New England will once again be represented on the show this year by one Massachusetts-born celebrity, with many fans already speculating she will advance far in the competition. Here’s who she is, as well as the full cast list for Season 34 of ‘Dancing with the Stars’.

“Dancing with the Stars” stars: Pro dancer Gleb Savchenk and Hilaria Baldwin.
This season, Hilaria Baldwin will represent Massachusetts on “Dancing with the Stars.” Married to Hollywood legend Alec Baldwin, the entrepreneur, podcaster and author was born in Boston. Though she spent a lot of time in Spain during her childhood, Baldwin was raised in Beacon Hill, attending The Cambridge School of Weston for high school.
Many “Dancing with the Stars” fans think Baldwin’s active lifestyle will help her in the competition, as the star is a former yoga instructor who co-founded yoga studio chain Yoga Vida. While she doesn’t teach yoga much anymore, Baldwin often posts exercise content across her social media.
Additionally, Baldwin has an extensive background in ballroom dancing, first trying the sport as a child and eventually competing with New York University’s ballroom team. However, Baldwin stopped dancing 16 years ago after breaking her hip, which may pose a challenge in the competition.
