'Dancing With the Stars' New Season Begins

After 14 seasons, 162 stars and more than 1,000 dances, Dancing With the Stars is back! The ABC show kicked off a special All-Star season on Monday night, Sept. 24, 2012.

It was the usual ballroom bonanza—glittering skimpy costumes, an enthusiastic audience prompted to clap endlessly, and Emmy-winning Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke-Charvet all dressed up and doing their host duties.

Judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli were back at the judges' desk once again to kick off the 10 weeks of competition. The first celeb will be sent home on Tuesday night, Sept. 25.
