Tori Spelling is getting a jump start on perfecting her pas-de-deux and other dance moves.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 51, is part of the cast of season 33 of Dancing With the Stars.
Tori arrived for the first day of rehearsals in a black dress with lace trim, black bicycle shorts, forest green leggings and yellow Converse.
She is the fifth 90210 star to join the dance compeтιтion after Brian Austin Green, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering and the late Shannen Doherty.
The daughter of Aaron Spelling and Candy Spelling revealed how she thinks Shannen would react to the news of her joining the show.
‘It’s definitely a hard time with doing the show and all the excitement and having lost Shan so recently.
‘But I remember she loved doing it and was totally in it,’ Tori told People about Doherty, who competed in the show’s 10th season and was eliminated first.
‘She definitely in life has inspired me that, you know, when you commit, you commit. And I definitely, this season, she has encouraged me to turn my power on,’ Spelling added. ‘So I’ll take that with me.’
Brian Austin Green competed on season 30 of the show and ended up having a baby and getting engaged to his pro dance partner Sharna Burgess.
He enthusiastically encouraged Tori to accept the offer to be on DWTS.
‘Brian Austin Green has known the whole time since I got that phone call,’ she said.
‘So the whole time, I was like, “I don’t know. What should I do? Should I do it?” And he was like, “You will be amazing. You need to do this.”‘
And Sharna, a former pro dancer on the show, ran through Tori’s options for partners and why each one would be good or bad for her.
Tori will be teamed with professional dancer Pasha Pashkov.
She will be facing off against celebrities including the Real Housewives Of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks, it was announced Wednesday on Good Morning America.
Other contestants on the next season include fake heiress and convicted con woman Anna Delvey, Julia Roberts’ brother (and Emma Roberts’ father) Eric Roberts and Olivia Culpo’s NFL ex Danny Amendola.
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model Brooks Nader, who was recently rumored to be dating Tom Brady, has also been cast.
NBA star Dwight Howard, Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher, former Bachelorette Jenn Tran, former Bachelor Joey Graziadei, Family Matters actor Reginald VelJohnson, Chandler Kinney of Pretty Little Liars: Summer School fame and Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik are in compeтιтion as well.
Tori’s casting on Dancing With The Stars comes five months after she filed for divorce from her husband Dean McDermott, with whom she shares five children -Liam, 17, Stella, 16, Hattie, 12, Finn, 12, and Beau, seven.
