The Dancing with the Stars Live tour will begin on January 22 in Akron, OH, at the Akron Civic Theatre.

There will be a few celebrity guests, as their names will be announced in the coming months.

The DWTS executive producer, Ryan O’Dowd, has shared some insight into the upcoming tour, saying that the live show gave their professional dancers the chance to connect and also enabled them to directly interact with the very people who cheer for and vote for them each week. He added:

“That connection, coupled with the exhilaration of experiencing these performances live, makes the tour a truly unforgettable experience for fans nationwide. Dancing with the Stars has been captivating fans for two decades, and the passion for the show has never been stronger. Last year, the tour sold out in every city for the first time in franchise history, so we extended the run and sold those shows out as well. More than anything, it’s incredible to see the fandom and energy on the road.”
