News anchors for "Good Morning America" announced on Aug. 13 the twelve dance couples set to compete on the all-stars season of "Dancing With The Stars."

The list of celebrities and their dance partners who will return to the ballroom to compete for the mirrored ball trophy are:
Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke

Carson Kressley, Sabrina Bryan and Kyle Massey are the three celebrities to choose from to fill the 13th slot. The celebrity who wins most votes will be announced, along with who will be his or her partner, live on Good Morning America on Aug. 27.
