"This new rule will affect all couples as they will be required to switch partners at a point in the season. Never before have dance partnerships been split up during the course of competition."

Just last week, it was revealed by Us Weekly that Maksim Chmerkovskiy would be returning to the show after a two-season hiatus. This will be Chmerkovskiy's 15th season on Dancing With The Stars.
