The Dancing kids are in good hands.
ABC revealed the judges for the upcoming Dancing with the Stars: Juniors spin-off during Good Morning America on Monday. They are: Olympic figure skater and reigning Dancing with the Stars champion Adam Rippon; Dancing with the Stars pro Valentin Chmerkovskiy; and choreographer Mandy Moore (not the Mandy Moore from This Is Us).
Rippon won a bronze medal as part of the figure skating team at the Winter Olympics earlier this year, and then took home the Mirrorball Trophy during Dancing with the Stars: Athletes, where he was partnered with Jenna Johnson.
Chmerkovskiy is a two-time Dancing with the Stars winner, first with Rumer Willis and then with Laurie Hernandez.
Moore is an Emmy-winning choreographer who has worked on Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance and plotted the steps for the movie La La Land.
