"Dancing with the Stars" season 19 is nearly upon us, and updates regarding the professional cast have been revealed.

As some fans may know, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and last year's winner, will not be returning to "Dancing With the Stars" for season 19 saying, "I feel like it's time."

According to E! Online, Sharna Burgess and Henry Byalikov will also be exiting the cast, along with season 17's Tristan MacManus and Tyne Stecklein.

In a shocking turn of events, contemporary dancer Allison Holker, who captured America's hearts on season 2 of "So You Think You Can Dance," will be joining the cast of ballroom dancers.

"I was shocked by Allison's inclusion as a professional ballroom dancer this year," wrote Djaye. "I absolutely love her and she was great doing ballroom on 'So You Think You Can Dance.'"

"It will be interesting to see how this works. My feeling is that she'll be a great help with the increasing contemporary pieces on the show and Derek and Mark will help her choreograph the ballroom stuff."
