Dancing With the Stars is almost upon us for the 15th time.

But, as you well know, this is the first-ever all-star season—and that means the stars you love and a few that you just love to hate are back for another shot at the mirror-ball trophy.

Some celebs, like Bristol Palin, Kirstie Alley and Emmitt Smith, are returning to the ballroom with their original partners, while others—whoever danced with Julianne Hough, for instance—will be taking a turn with someone new.

Plus, there's only one Cheryl Burke to go around—and three of her former partners, two of them past champions, are competing. (Emmitt Smith got to keep her!)

And, one more winning pair—chosen by your votes—is going to be announced Aug. 27.

So, we've got the first photos of almost all of the duos right here, so check 'em out and start getting excited for season 15, premiering Sept. 24 on ABC.
