iamvalc: This is one of my favorite pictures I’ve ever taken on dancingabc .. because it perfectly showcases how big the village, how epic the effort, and how beautifully diverse the dancing with the stars family really is. This show was never about me or any single person, as a matter of fact it’s not JUST a television show at all. It’s become somewhat of a family tradition in so many households. I’m posting this because today is the premier of Season 26 of #DWTS and its the first season I will not be a part of since I joined this awesome family 7.5 years ago. It’s an unusual feeling but at the same time one of major gratitude and excitement. I’m proud of this show and every single person that makes it so, whether I am part of it or not. I hope EVERYONE tunes in tonight and continues to support the show that changed not just my life but an entire world of dance along with millions of everyday people whom have graciously invited us into their living rooms every Monday night and as I’m learning everyday touring this beautiful country meeting y’all… dancing with the stars and its family has become your family too.

Tune in tonight at 8pm… and let’s make it the best season yet.
Ah, it is. It's the first day of autumn! A time for hot chocolatety mornings, and toasting marshmallow evenings, as best of all, leaping into *leaves*!
