Witney Carson is putting her dancing shoes back on.

The professional dancer, 30 — who welcomed her second child last May — took to Instagram to announce her return to Dancing with the Stars for season 33 after a two year hiatus.

‘I am back on Dancing With the Stars, and I cannot wait to get back on that dance floor. Just you wait until you meet my partner. You guys are going to die,’ she said in the video.

And she added she is ‘so happy to be back’ to her Instagram Story, saying, ‘The cat is out of the bag.’

The So You Think You Can Dance alum has previous competed in 13 DWTS seasons, notably winning first place with Alfonso Ribeiro in season 19.

In a special clip shared with Good Morning America on Thursday morning, she teased her dance partner’s identity even more.

‘He will sweep you off your feet. We are so ready to get that Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy,’ she said gushing over his skills.

Dancing with the Stars wrote on the joint post, ‘We can’t wait to see you back on #DWTS, @witneycarson! Stay tuned for the reveal of the entire cast and pairings for the new season next Wednesday on @goodmorningamerica!

Fans went wild over the choreographer’s return to the reality show as the announcement racked up over 65k likes and hundreds of comments.

The wife of DWTS vet Brandon Armstrong, Brylee, excitedly penned, ‘Yay wit!!! The ballroom isn’t the same without you! ❤️’

DWTS co-host, Julianne Hough, chimed in saying, ‘So happy to have you back @witneycarson ❤️.’

She first graced the show’s stage in 2018 dancing alongside Australian singer Cody Simpson, but did not finish in the top three.

In seasons 20 through 28 she coached and her various partners like The Bachelor alum Chris Soules, Big Time Rush star Carlos PenaVega and Malcolm in the Middle actor Frankie Muniz.

In 2021 she welcomed her first child with husband Carson McAllister, but that did stop her from dancing the night away in season 30 with WWE wrestler Mike ‘The Miz’ Mizanin.

She last competed in season 31 with partner Wayne Brady before announcing her departure from the hit show to focus on her family.

She said at the time: ‘We definitely thought and prayed about it for a while, but we will not be doing Dancing With the Stars this season. And, as much as that pains me to say, I just felt very at peace with it.

‘You guys know that family is the most important thing to me, and we just really felt that moving our entire family across the country right now was not for us,’ she shared.

Although the full cast of the hotly anticipated season will be revealed on Wednesday, Olympic medalist Stephen Nedoroscik is confirmed to one of the first contestants, per GMA.
