Dancing With the Stars fans can breathe a sigh of relief — Jenna Johnson and Corey Feldman are officially kicking off rehearsals.
“Corey + Jenna have entered the tik tok chat @Dancing with the Stars,” Johnson, 31, captioned a TikTok video shared Monday, September 8.
In the clip, Johnson and Feldman, 54, goofed off in a dance studio while lip-synching to a viral audio about being “best friends.” At the end of the video, the duo jumped up and down in a circle while holding hands.
The update came shortly after Johnson revealed she hadn’t seen Feldman since the season 34 DWTS cast was announced on the September 3 episode of Good Morning America.

“I love the show so much, I love being part of it, I’m so grateful to be asked back, and I’m excited for this season. Going off that, so many people have been, like, ‘Where are your TikToks with Corey? What’s happening?'” Johnson shared via her Instagram Story on Saturday, September 6. “To be completely honest, I actually haven’t seen him since Good Morning America.”
Johnson explained that Feldman “had some previous work engagements and personal stuff going on” following their GMA appearance.
“So I haven’t seen him since [we were in] New York, and I am eagerly awaiting him getting back so we can get back into the studio to dance and then to do all the content things,” she continued. “I’ve been loving all the couples posting. It’s been so fun to see.”

The choreographer told fans she was feeling “a little anxious and eager” to start rehearsing, adding that she was already “obsessed” with the new group of celebs competing this season.
While Monday’s TikTok video was the first for Johnson and Feldman, other celeb contestants and their pro partners have been flooding fans’ FYPs with content since the cast reveal. Mark Ballas is making his return to the DWTS ballroom this season with Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt, who’s already putting her social media expertise to use while rehearsing.
Leavitt’s costar Jen Affleck is also competing for the mirrorball trophy this season with first-time pro Jan Ravnik. “WE READYYYYYYYYY @Dancing with the Stars #DWTS @Jen Affleck,” Leavitt captioned a TikTok in August, declaring in her video, “MomTok has arrived!!!!”
Along with the reality stars, DWTS season 34 features Dylan Efron, Jordan Chiles, Elaine Hendrix, Baron Davis, Alix Earle, Robert Irwin, Hilaria Baldwin and more.

Johnson is the reigning champ of the ballroom going into the season thanks to her big win with partner Joey Graziadei last year. Following the cast announcement, Johnson spoke exclusively to Us Weekly about how she’s prepping for the new competition.
“I think every season is new as a clean slate, especially with different partners that you’re given,” she told Us. “And I am so passionate about giving each partner the best experience possible. So this is a different journey. I’m obviously so grateful for last year and the win, but this is new. This is different. My intentions are different, so I’m excited.”
Feldman acknowledged at the time that “the schedule is hard,” but he’s happy to have Johnson by his side. “I’m having so much fun already,” he told Us.
Dancing With the Stars premieres on ABC and Disney+ Tuesday, September 16, at 8 p.m. ET, with new episodes streaming the next day on Hulu.
