ABC's dance show competition "Dancing with the Stars" is all set to bring in new dancing stars for its 23rd season. The cast list has not been revealed completely, but some names have already been made known while others remain a rumor for now.

According to a report, season 22 cast member and fourth placer Lindsay Arnold Cusick posted on her Instagram account a photo of her and her fellow professional ballroom dancer Sharna Burgess. She indicated in her post that they are back in the studio, rehearsing for the upcoming new season.

Aside from that, she also teased that the show will release a new promo video soon and that fans should stay tuned to find out about more details. Some are hoping that the new teaser would reveal returning professional dancers and the stars who will be swaying along with them.

However, even though the celebrity roster is still a mystery, rumors regarding this list have already surfaced. The one on top in the rumor mill is American artistic gymnast Simone Biles who recently clinched four gold medals during the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

The 19-year old athlete is rumored to be taking part of the competition since the show is popular for inviting Olympic stars to dance for the audience. Some of the Olympic stars that graced the stage of the show include Aly Raisman, Shawn Johnson, Nastia Liukin and Apolo Ohno.

The show would be an interesting one if Biles joins, but as noted in a report, the young gymnast will not be taking part due to other commitments. She did express her interest, though.

"I would love to do 'Dancing with the Stars,' but so far we have a three-month tour after the Olympics," Biles said in an interview. "I am not sure if I'll have the time," she added. But if given the chance, she said that she'd love to dance in season 24.

"Dancing with the Stars" season 23 will premiere on Sept. 12 on ABC.
