Val Chmerkovskiy Talks About The New Season Of Dancing With The Stars, Creating Something Special, And More
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.”
More at People including his thoughts on Rumer Willis, wanting to act someday, and more.
why is it all I I I I? Sorry feels like too much emphasis on what Val wants to do. 🙁
That’s who Val is, mishti. “me me me me, I I I I” That’s why the difference between he and Derek (and their fans) is so stark.
Well He is being asked about himself, so his responses seem fine to me
Interesting that he wants to act at some point in the future…I knew that’s Maks’goal, but I didn’t know Val was interested
Val already talk about winning back to back – probably, he knows Shay will be his partner–he always gets those who can dance. Shay follows him, so, all pll go to him.
If Val had a Drag name he would have been Mimi Imfirst
Sounds like Val is talking about Derek instead of himself lol. He had ONE partner who’s a non dancer in his entire career on DWTS. And that’s not counting the fact that she was a student of his studio. He got lots of “help” from the producers. “I like the surprise element”? Yeah, he likes it alright, until he gets someone like Ricki Lake or Amy Purdy then his claws (and his fans) come out on every social media out there throwing shade after shade.
*than
Ughh!!!! He is already tweeting RT comments about backtoback wins all he cares about is winning no matter how and just copy Derek in everything. He is chasing Derek actually trying to get his fame and achievement.
When he has says he does not care about color, size, shape that means he does why else would that thought even cross ur mind if u dont care. HE says if Catlyn did the show and he was her partner it would be great but adds in the end they would not match physically?
One win and he is acting as if he the best around there. I would not even compare Derek and Val anymore Derek is in a class of his own which Val can never achive.
LOL Nathan!!
+1!!!
It seems most of the current and many of the past pros have interest in continuing careers in the entertainment world such as hosting and acting.
Nathan – Love it. Mimi Imfirst Brilliant. Hopefully he will be Mimi firstout this season.
He’s so full of crap, probably already knows he has another ringer.
Talking about “special moments”. It has been a very long time since we have had a “Free your mind — Paso Doble” or “Hey Pachuco — Quickstep (Helio one)” and those Iconic moments. Everything seems so forced and the magic can no longer just “happen”. You know what I mean? Simple Ballroom and Latin to well known tracks with fantastic technique and add in a couple of brilliant lifts. Then job’s a gooden. That is special.
Oh boy I probably sounded like Len then. You will all probably disagree with me but after a moments thought it is how I feel.
any ideas what this is for? the new season?

Don’t know why it would be for the new season. Someone in the comment suggested Sway. Don’t know…don’t much care.
Nathan — I’m more wistful about the loss of an open competition, where really anyone could win.
Loving comment #5, Nathan! LOL
