Dancing with the Stars 12 (Courtesy Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Dancing with the Stars returned for its twelfth season on March 21, 2011. Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Len Goodman returned to the show as judges, while Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke returned as hosts.

Professional football player Hines Ward won the competition over actress Kirstie Alley and Disney star Chelsea Kane, who took second and third, respectively.

Overview

On the official website, a page gave people the chance to recommend celebrities they wanted to see on season 12 of the show through comments. Pro-dancer Derek Hough, who was the incumbent champion, did not return for season 12 in order to film an upcoming movie but returned for season 13.

The cast was revealed on February 28, 2011, during The Bachelor, and the professional partners were revealed on March 2, 2011. Hip hop artist Romeo, injured before the beginning of broadcasts of season two, and replaced during that season by his father, Master P, was one of the competitors in season 12.
