Partway through, they were joined by dancers in the background.
Fans noticed some familiar faces and figured they would be the pros, or at least some of them, for Season 33.
The dancers in the back appear to be Pasha Paskov, Daniella Karagach, Emma Slater, Sasha Farber, Britt Stewart, Rylee Arnold, Brandon Armstrong, and Alan Bersten.

X user @HoughKin shared the video and wrote, "DWTS releases trailer for next season! Omg I see some familiar faces dancing in the background. Does that mean they will be back as pros?"
"Obsessively watching to see what pros are in the background," an Instagram user wrote.
"I spy Pasha, Daniella, Emma, Sasha, Britt, Alan, Rylee, and Brandon," said another.
"Was that @ryleearnold1 dancing with @brandonarmstrong ?!?!" asked a fan.
Only eight pros were seen in the video, but the show usually casts 10 to 14 pairs, so some might be missing.
A lot of fans were wondering where Artem Chigvintsev, who has been on the show since Season 18, was.

SECRET LEAKED?
The pros and celebrities have not yet been confirmed for Season 33 of DWTS.
However, Julianne might have leaked one possible contestant on Good Morning America on Tuesday.
GMA host Michael Strahan asked Julianne if there is anyone she would like to see on the show since she is casting it this season.
"I don't know if there are rumblings about this, but I think internally, everybody's talking about one of the Kelce brothers would be amazing," she said.
Travis, 34, and Jason Kelce, 36, are two brothers who play for the NFL.
"I mean Jason's like, not playing, right? Did I just drop something?" Julianne asked.
Jason announced his retirement at the end of the 2023/2024 season, after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The DWTS host went on to say that she is the "same as everyone else" and won't know who is cast on the show until it is revealed to the public.

The full cast announcement is expected to be announced in August.
