Disney Channel sensation Milo Manheim — who rose to fame for his role of Zed in the musical Zombies — will hit the ballroom as this season’s youngest cast member at 17. However, he’ll be in good company with teacher and partner Witney Carson.

Comedian Nikki Glasser, for her part, is sure to bring some laughs to the hit ABC series while she learns the ballroom ropes with Gleb Savchenko.
