\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tMirrorball champs or not,\u00a0Dancing With the Stars\u00a0has featured some impeccable professional dancers in the years since the ABC competition series premiered in 2005. Derek Hough, Cheryl Burke and Maksim Chmerkovskiy are among the talent who have lit up the ballroom. Some of the show\u2019s stars went on to achieve major success in their careers while [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Johnson further teased whether Chmerkovskiy, 38, will be back in the ballroom this fall.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would assume we would want [this season] to be a family affair, yeah,\u201d Johnson quipped.<\/p>\n
DWTS <\/i>is a complete \u201cfamily affair\u201d since Johnson and Chmerkovskiy danced alongside his sister-in-law, Peta Murgatroyd<\/strong>. The married couple also often brings son Rome, 16 months, to visit them at work.<\/p>\n\n![\"Jenna](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Jenna-Johnson-Wants-to-Return-for-Dancing-With-The-Stars-Season-33-With-Her-Whole-Heart.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")

It\u2019s so funny, I have all of these little videos of him sitting on the judges\u2019 table or there was \u2026 a lunch break on show day and no one was in the ballroom, but like the lights were flashing, lasers were going,\u201d Johnson recalled. \u201cWe just like put him in the center of the stage to see what he would do and he just like started dancing and was loving it. I think we have a little performer<\/a> on our hands.\u201d<\/p>\nJohnson, however, is not pushing her son to follow in her and Chmerkovskiy\u2019s footsteps.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will support him on whatever he wants to do, but initially I was really hesitant about wanting him to dance or I guess feeling that pressure that he needed to dance and like walk in our footsteps,\u201d she said on Thursday. \u201cWe\u2019re a very dance-heavy family, but there is something to say when it\u2019s just like naturally in them and anytime there\u2019s music, he is moving and grooving, he\u2019s clapping, he\u2019s smiling. So we\u2019ll see. I want it to be like the most natural effect. I don\u2019t wanna force him into anything or put him into it, but if he loves it, how can I stop him?\u201d<\/p>\n
