PEOPLE’s Emmys Weekend Dinner with ‘Dancing with the Star’ Cast: Exclusive Photos

It takes two to tango — which is why PEOPLE and the Dancing with the Stars cast came together for an intimate dinner before the 2025 Emmys.

Following years of devoted coverage to the iconic ABC show and our latest cover with contestant Robert Irwin, PEOPLE hosted stars of the upcoming DWTS season at Cucina Alba in West Hollywood, California, on Friday, Sept. 12. Host Alfonso Ribeiro, as well as judge Bruno Tonioli, joined People Inc. executives and season 34 contestants in celebrating the premiere of the show’s latest installment.
