Val Chmerkovskiy talked with People today at the D23 Expo about the next season of Dancing With The Stars. He said he doesn’t know who his partner is yet, but, he can’t wait to be surprised. Below is more….

With the next season looming, does Chmerkovskiy, 29, have a particular dance partner in mind?

“I like the surprise element, honestly,” he says. “I don’t know who my partner is, and I don’t want to know until I find out because there is a magic in the surprise element. I just want somebody who wants to be there and wants to work hard. I don’t mind anything else, how you look, in shape, out of shape, your celebrity status or not. I just want to work with a person that I am inspired by and that together we will be able to create something special.”
