Dancing With The Stars episode 1 recap.

The 25th season of Dancing With The Stars kicked off last night, featuring a cast that includes former NBA player and coach, Derek Fisher, former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens, WWE superstar, Nikki Bella, actor Frankie Muniz and more.

On last night's show, each of the contestants was tasked with performing a salsa, foxtrot, tango or cha cha, and no one was eliminated.

Here's what Derek Fisher told US Magazine ahead of his dancing debut,

“I’m nervous but, like, anxious slash excited,” Fisher told Us “[I’m] used to the quick movements but I think sometimes in sports, you can get away with certain things and still get through the drill but in dance, you can’t do that. Every detail matters so you just have to be really sharp and on point. It’s tough, but it’s fun though to try and figure it out.”
