From TikTok to the ballroom?

Charli D’Amelio and her mother, Heidi D’Amelio, are rumored to be joining the Season 31 cast of “Dancing With the Stars.”

TMZ reported Thursday that Charli, 18, and Heidi, 50, have been tapped to compete on the dance competition show’s upcoming season, which kicks off next month on Disney+.

According to the outlet, they’ll “appear as separate contestants,” competing against each other in hopes of winning the coveted mirrorball trophy.

Charli and Heidi’s TikTok dance skills – and impressive fan bases – will likely give them a clear advantage in the ballroom. Not to mention, all the additional support from Charli’s boyfriend – Travis Barker’s son, Landon Barker – and her sister, Dixie D’Amelio.

Charli has also previously worked with “DWTS” judge Derek Hough and his sister, former pro and judge Julianne Hough. The three teamed up for a “Dirty Dancing” tribute during the “Step Into… the Movies” special that premiered in March.

Page Six has reached out to reps for the D’Amelios for comment. ABC/Disney+ does not comment on casting rumors.

The full lineup of stars and pro dancers taking part in Season 31 will be revealed early next month on “Good Morning America.”

Judging from the first teaser trailer, it appears reigning mirrorball champion Daniella Karagach will be back, along with fellow pros Artem Chigvintsev, Witney Carson, Brandon Armstrong, Cheryl Burke and Pasha Pashkov.

Season 31 will mark the show’s official move to Disney+, after previously airing on ABC. Tyra Banks is returning to co-host with Season 19 winner Alfonso Ribeiro.

“I’m super excited. For me to be asked now to co-host with Tyra, and be part of the great crew and dancers and friends … to be able to be on stage with them and to be part of that family again, is quite special for me,” Ribiero told People following the announcement.

“I mean, these dancers are friends of mine at this point now. We really do all hang out together and talk outside of that show.”

“DWTS,” now commercial-free, premieres Sept. 19 on the streaming service.
