They Sing, But They Don't Dance - Clint and Travis Say No to DWTS

The season 18 cast of Dancing with the Stars has been announced and two of country music's finest said "No thanks" to the show. US Magazine reported that both Clint Black and Travis Tritt were offered spots but turned them down.

Instead of getting any fancy country-style footwork, fans of the popular show will get a big combination of actors and athletes with only a couple of singers in the mix. The cast this year will consists of:

Actors:

Billy Dee Williams will be dancing with Emma Slater
Candace Cameron Bure (Full House) will be dancing with Mark Ballas
Danica McKellar (The Wonder Years) will be dancing with Val Chmerkovskiy
Drew Carey (Price Is Right) will be dancing with Cheryl Burke
NeNe Leakes (Real Housewives of Atlanta) will be dancing with Tony Dovolani

Athletes:

Amy Purdy (double-amputee snowboarding champ) will be dancing with Derek Hough
Charlie White (Olympic figure skater) will be dancing with Sharna Burgess
Diana Nyad (world record long-distance swimmer) will be dancing with Henry Byalikov
Meryl Davis (Olympic figure skater) will be dancing with Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Sean Avery (former hockey player with Detroit Red Wings, Los Angeles Kings, Dallas Stars and New York Rangers) will be dancing with Karina Smirnoff

Singers:

James Maslow (Big Time Rush) will be dancing with Peta Murgatroyd
Cody Simpson (Australian pop singer) will be dancing with Witney Carson

In the past, there have been some country crooners on the show. Billy Ray Cyrus, Chuck Wicks, Kellie Pickler, Sara Evans and Wynonna Judd have all danced their hearts out. In Season 16, Kellie became the first country singer to make the finals and the girl can dance almost as good as she sings!
