Thirteen stars have officially danced their way into season 19 of a popular ABC show.



On Good Morning America, "Dancing with the Stars" hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews introduced the cast of the upcoming season. The stars come from all over the entertainment industry and beyond. There's a race car driver, a YouTube sensation, a fashion designer and more.



See each contestant, followed by his or her partner, in the gallery above.



So what can fans expect to see from these stars?



There are sure to be plenty of references to "Mean Girls" (Jonathan Bennett), "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (Alfonso Ribeiro), and "Back to the Future" (Lea Thompson), as stars from each are in the cast.



Though "Carlton" didn't do the dance that has come to be associated with his "Fresh Prince" character on GMA, he did tease that it will be among many moves he plans to bust out.



"At some point, we will absolutely give the fans what they love to see, which is the Carlton dance," said Ribeiro.



Sadie Robertson, of the "Duck Dynasty" Robertsons, said that of all her family, Uncle Si would be best to practice with.



The difficulty of the competition was not lost on the stars. Randy Couture said he expected the dance floor to be more difficult than the fighting ring.



When Janel Parrish of "Pretty Little Liars" was singled out as the dancer to beat, she credited training with partner Val for any edge she might have.





The new season of Dancing with the Stars begins Monday, Sept. 15 at 8 p.m. EST/7 p.m. CST on ABC. Who will you be rooting for? Let us know in the comments below.
