Hey there, dance enthusiasts! If you're a fan of "Dancing with the Stars," you're in for a treat. The DWTS Live! Light Up the Night tour is making its way around the country again in 2018, and it's shaping up to be even bigger and better than ever. This spectacular show will bring to life every style of dance seen on ABC's hit series, produced by BBC Worldwide Productions. From the fiery salsas to the graceful waltzes and electrifying group numbers, the tour will also feature original choreography by Emmy-winning choreographer Mandy Moore. Let's dive into the details!
Who's Lighting Up the Stage?
During the DWTS finale on November 21, it was announced that Season 25 stars Frankie Muniz and Jordan Fisher will be part of the tour! Joining them will be a star-studded lineup of 11 beloved pros and troupe dancers from Dancing with the Stars, including Lindsay Arnold, Alan Bersten, Sharna Burgess, Artem Chigvintsev, Keo Motsepe, Gleb Savchenko, engaged couple Emma Slater and Sasha Farber, Jenna Johnson, Hayley Erbert, and Brandon Armstrong.
Unfortunately, Witney Carson had to step back from the tour due to her father-in-law's aggressive battle with cancer. In an emotional Instagram post on December 13, she shared, "My heart hurts to tell you all that I will not be able to do the DWTS tour this winter. This is an extraordinarily difficult time for us, and I hope all of you can understand that my place is here with my family." She wished the tour all the best, adding, "I love my fans and I feel so devastated that I can’t be there, but know that my heart is there with you."
