Hartford-born actress Jenna Dewan and New Milford native Jackson Olson will compete on Season 35 of “Dancing with the Stars.”
Dewan has danced professionally for more than two decades. She will compete with Val Chmerkovskiy.
Dewan currently stars in the police drama "The Rookie." She also appeared alongside her ex-husband, Channing Tatum, in the 2006 teen dance-drama "Step Up."
Dewan left Connecticut as a child and grew up in Texas.
ABC revealed the season’s full cast Wednesday on "Good Morning America."
Olson, a second baseman for the Savannah Bananas, joined the cast earlier this year. The Bananas are known for dancing on the baseball diamond between innings or when the mood hits them.
The 28-year-old played baseball at the University of Hartford. He will compete with professional dancer Emma Slater.
