All-Stars Dance Pool
The All-Stars Dance Pool features some of the best and most popular dancers that have been featured on previous seasons. They will act as partners for the top ten to eleven contestants in seasons seven and eight, and will rotate every week. Each of the dancers represents one specific style of dance and will only dance in that genre with a partner. They will not choreograph any routines but will learn like the contestants do. These are the all-stars Nigel Lythgoe announced on his official Twitter account.
- Unlike season seven's all-stars, at least one past-season winner will be invited back to perform.

^1 Only the first season of the show provided an official percentage breakdown of the final vote. For the remaining seasons, second through fourth place finalists are based only on the order in which they were announced, which may not reflect the official vote breakdown.
^2 Season 7 featured only three dancers as finalists at the end of its run. Although Torbert technically finished fourth, he was eliminated the week prior to the finale.
