Maksim Chmerkovskiy On 'Dancing With The Stars'
Maksim Chmerkovskiy is back for "Dancing with the Stars" season 23 after a long hiatus from the show. He confirmed his return during an interview with "Good Morning America" on Thursday. He's excited to get back on the dance floor after getting into the perfect shape, IBTimes reported.
Maksim Chmerkovskiy took a break from "Dancing with the Stars" after winning season 18. He is now expecting a child from fellow "Dancing with the Stars" alum Peta Murgatroyd. While he won season 18 with Olympic ice skater Meryl Davis, the veteran dancer isn't set into winning the grand prize this season.
"I'm not running after multiple Mirror Balls," Maksim said of his goals for "Dancing with the Stars" season 23. "That's not where my focus is."

It would be great to see Maksin together with his brother Val competing on the same floor when "Dancing with the Stars" hits the TV screens on September. He also said that this season will be different from the previous ones and he's looking forward to it.
Ryan Lochte In "Dancing With Stars" Season 23
Meanwhile, multiple sources from US Weekly are claiming that Olympic champion Ryan Lochte will appear on "Dancing with the Stars" season 23. This was after he was allegedly robbed in Rio. According to the report, it will be good for Lochte to join the reality show.
There were also other reports claiming that Ryan Lochte had wanted to join "Dancing with the Stars" for years. He has been in talks with the show's producers before. An Olympic winner like him would be a good addition to "Dancing with the Stars" season 23.
"Dancing with the Stars" season 23 will air on Sept. 12, 2016, ABC. The rest of the cast for the upcoming season will be announced on "Good Morning America" on Tuesday, August 30.
