Dancing With The Stars fans recently witnessed an emotional tribute to the late Len Goodman, bringing back beloved former pro dancers. Amid the heartfelt remembrance, Louis Van Amstel dropped a subtle hint that has fans buzzing with excitement about a potential return to the show.


Louis Van Amstel Shows Interest in a Possible Return

The tribute to Goodman, who passed away in April 2023, took place this past week. Various DWTS alumni, including Maks Chmerkovskiy, Kym Johnson-Herjavec, Tony Dovolani, Karina Smirnoff, Anna Trebunskaya, Edyta Śliwińska, Van Amstel, and Mark Ballas, graced the ballroom once again.

However, it was Van Amstel’s Instagram post and his response to a fan’s comment that added a new layer of excitement to the event. When commenting back to DWTS fans on Instagram, the dancer admitted that he may be coming back to the ballroom again, “without it having to be a tribute.” This has sparked speculation about his potential return to DWTS.

His comment hints at his interest in rejoining the show as a professional dancer in a non-tribute capacity. While this remains speculative, it is a tantalizing prospect for fans who have fond memories of Van Amstel’s previous performances on DWTS. For those who may not remember, Van Amstel’s last DWTS appearance was on Season 31 with partner Cheryl Ladd.


Van Amstel was a beloved and charismatic presence during his time on the show, and his return would be a thrilling development for fans and the DWTS community.

Tony Dovolani pointed out that contemporary dances provided a platform for deeper expression and allowed the pros to balance these modern performances with a classic dance to honor Goodman, a pivotal figure in their lives.


Van Amstel, who made a memorable return to the ballroom last season, spoke about the bittersweet experience of the tribute. He emphasized his admiration for Goodman, who was able to conclude his remarkable career on DWTS. When asked about the prospect of being paired with another celebrity in a future season, Van Amstel responded with a hopeful “From your lips,” accompanied by a smile.
