Hello all! I thought it’d be fun that before the official All-League Teams are announced that the subreddit vote for their own choices. Just nominate 7 athletes for First Team and 7 for Second Team, and based on the votes from the sub I will announce your all’s choices for the All-League team tomorrow. Voting will close around 12pm EST tomorrow so I can have time to make graphics for the chosen teams. Have fun!
I’ve been keeping a list of current players that have signed contracts elsewhere for 2027 and wanted to share:
Note: I didn’t include players like Maddie Waak, Aleksandra Jegdic, Morgan Perkins, etc. that didn’t finish out the season and seem obvious not to return
Mimi Colyer- Signed elsewhere, TBD what league
Reagan Cooper- Signed Internationally (Italy)
Rachel Gomez- Signed Internationally (Germany)
Flormarie Heredia Colon- Signed Internationally (Brazil)
Bre Kelley- Signed Internationally (Germany)
Maggie Mendelson- Continuing with College Basketball
Britt Rampelberg- Signed Internationally (Germany)
Zoe Weatherington- Signed Internationally (Greece)

If anyone knows of anyone else that has signed contracts internationally or with LOVB, or have made public statements about not returning please let me know.
I will continue updating this thread as I get more information
Per AvidVolley who’s a knowledgeable poster on VolleyTalk, Nika Markovič is rumored to be joining MLV and going to Grand Rapids. She’s a 6’1 Opposite from Slovenia and has been playing professionally since 2019.
Hello all! Thank you to everyone who voted yesterday. Lets get to results.
In order of how many votes they received, the following dances have been voted into the Hall of Fame for the second class:
Drew Lachey and Cheryl Burke’s Freestyle
Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas’s Viennese Waltz
Meryl Davis and Maks Chmerkovskiy’s Tango
James Hinchcliffe and Jenna Johnson’s Viennese Waltz. Choreographed by Sharna Burgess
Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke’s Argentine Tango
Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff’s Trio Jazz with Witney Carson
Nyle DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd’s Freestyle
Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya’s Paso doble
Iman Shumpert and Daniella Karagach’s Contemporary
Robert Irwin and Witney Carson’s Premiere Jive
Witney now leads all pros with 4 entries in the DWTS: Hall of Fame. 3 she choreographed and one as the additional pro in a trio. Maks and Jenna sit at 3 each for 2nd place. Cheryl, Anna, Karina, Peta, Sharna, and Daniella had their first routines inducted. The dance that narrowly missed the Top 10 was Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough’s Freestyle which would’ve been Derek’s first dance inducted.
Here is a playlist of the 21 dances that have been inducted into the DWTS: Dances Hall of Fame between this vote and the original vote if you wanna watch the Hall of Fame routines: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtnA3e2-v0CW_kF8bIiArzPOU13vdV50Q&si=w-ytwShONa5GzHfE
There will be a 3rd class vote at some point in the future. Dances that have been nominated twice and not yet inducted will not be included in the 3rd vote, nor will dances that didn’t get enough votes to justify being nominated again. If there are dances not yet inducted that you feel strongly should be a nominee for the 3rd vote you can comment them or DM me them and I will keep that in mind when choosing the dances.
Also please comment your opinion on if couples who have dances already in should have a 2nd dance eligible for the Hall of Fame when the 3rd vote happens
