It's been a long wait for the fans, but Dancing With the Stars is finally returning to the road after almost two years, and it's time to share information about the upcoming tour with fans. Following the cancellation of the majority of the 2020 tour, the upcoming tour will definitely be a celebration. It will feature a number of pros and special guest stars, and these VIPs will be traveling across the country in 2022. The tour's cast will show off their talents as the televised dancing competition hits a remarkable milestone. DWTS returned for a 30th season earlier this fall.
The tour, which was first announced back in October, will start in early January. The first show will be in Richmond, Virginia. It will run until the end of March, with a final show in Modesto, California. The 66-show tour also includes stops in Boston, Nashville, Atlanta, and Seattle. Fans will love watching the show's stars strut their stuff, and some amazing celebs are going to be in the mix. Plus, new ticket options will make it easy for attendees to enjoy personalized experiences.
Alan Bersten, Gleb Savchenko, and Artem Chigvinstev are set to appear, along with married couples Sasha Farber and Emma Slater and Pasha Pashkov and Daniella Karagach. Former DWTS troupe dancers Brandon Armstrong and Britt Stewart were brought in as pros for seasons 27 and 29, and they are also set to appear. Alan and Emma will both be returning for their seventh tour since 2015, while Artem, Gleb, and Sasha will be appearing in their fifth tour. Newcomers Pasha and Danielle, who have both been competing for the Mirrorball Trophy since 2019, will be coming back for their second tour.
Kaitlyn Bristowe was recently announced as the first guest star of the DWTS tour, and she will be appearing on stage with the pros until the middle of March. The Bachelorette star Kaitlyn from DWTS is currently on her own podcast tour. She was famously blocked from competing on Dancing With the Stars back in 2015, but her five-year wait to compete was well worth it. She and Artem took home the Mirrorball Trophy last fall. Although Kaitlyn has been announced as a special guest, it's still unclear how many more contestants will be appearing with the pros once season 30 comes to an end.
Prior tours have included a number of contestants from multiple seasons, including Kate Flannery from The Office, To All the Boys film series star Jordan Fisher and The Bachelor franchise's Joe Amiable and Hannah Brown. Respectively, Hannah and Jordan have both taken home the grand prize, with Jordan winning the title alongside Lindsay Arnold in 2017. With Alan, Hannah was crowned "Mirrorball Champion" in 2019.
Tickets for the tour are currently available at DWYTtour.com, so they can be purchased online, along with VIP packages. The packages, which have seemingly been revamped since the 2020 tour, now include a host of options, including front row seating, Q and A sessions with the Dancing With the Stars tour cast, group photos, autographed programs, and crowd-free merchandise shopping.
