Break out your sunglasses, because you're about to be blinded by sequins.

Dancing With the Stars' new cast is hard at work in the dance studio prepping for their big ballroom debut on Monday, March 17, but that doesn't mean they didn't take some time away from rehearsals for a fun photo shoot with their professional partners.

ABC has unveiled the official Season 18 casting portraits, which gives us our first look at the new castmembers, including Australian teen heartthrob Cody Simpson, Big Time Rush boybander James Maslow and Real Housewives fan favorite NeNe Leakes, in action...

While Leakes, Drew Carey and Billy Dee Williams had a little fun in their glitter-bombed photos, former NHL star Sean Avery is all business in his portrait. And how gorgeous do former teen dreams Danica McKellar (Winnie Cooper 4eva!) and Candace Cameron Bure (Forever our favorite DJ!) look? Plus, DWTS fans will be happy to see Maksim Chmerkovskiy back in action after sitting out the past two seasons. But the celebs may find themselves taking new partner portraits after week three as America, for the first time, has the chance to change the pairings with the new "Switch Up" voting twist.

In case you forgot, here's the rundown of the new DWTS cast set to hit the ballroom in Season 18:
