Due to what the show has described as “unprecedented demand,” the Dancing With the Stars: Live Tour has officially been extended. Nine additional dates have been added, allowing the tour to continue through April 19.
Among the newly scheduled stops, the production will return to Richmond, Virginia, and Buffalo, New York, to make up for shows previously canceled due to weather conditions.
Star-Studded Lineup Continues the Journey
Olympic bronze medalist and DWTS Season 33 finalist Stephen Nedoroscik will remain in his role as cohost. He will be joined by professional dancers Alan Bersten, Brandon Armstrong, Britt Stewart, Daniella Karagach, Emma Slater, Ezra Sosa, Gleb Savchenko, Pasha Pashkov, and Rylee Arnold, all of whom will continue their performances on tour.
Additionally, DWTS Season 33 Mirrorball champions Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson are set to join the tour beginning April 15 in Buffalo, New York, according to an official announcement.
A Playful Announcement on Social Media
The news of the extended tour was shared through an Instagram reel featuring Nedoroscik seated at his computer, surrounded by his fellow tour members. The text overlay humorously read, “Checking to see if the tour is extending…”
After a few moments of exaggerated suspense from the cast, the group erupted into cheers as they celebrated receiving confirmation.
Additional Tour Stops and Rescheduled Shows
Originally slated to conclude on Sunday, April 6, in Los Angeles, the tour will now continue just three days later with a return visit to Akron, Ohio, where the pros will take the stage on Wednesday, February 5. Additional encore performances will take place in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Rosemont, Illinois.

A Historic First for the DWTS Tour
The Dancing With the Stars: Live Tour has been an annual tradition since 2014, but this marks the first time in its history that the tour has been extended due to overwhelming demand.
DWTS Producers Excited to Bring the Experience to More Fans
In an October 2024 statement announcing the tour, Ryan O’Dowd, BBC Studios executive producer for DWTS, emphasized the significance of bringing the live experience to audiences nationwide:
“Dancing With the Stars is massively popular with millions of fans watching our TV show each week, yet so few are able to come to Hollywood and secure a coveted seat in our live studio audience.
With the DWTS Tour, we’re thrilled to unlock a rare and unique opportunity for our fans to experience live and in-person the magic they see each week on TV.”
He continued, “Watching the TV show is brilliant, but when you see gravity-defying feats right in front of you and feel the exhilaration of some of the most powerful performances ever seen on the dance floor, it’s a whole new phenomenon.”
Ticket Information
Tickets for the newly added dates will go on sale Friday, February 7, at 10 a.m. local time via DWTStour.com. Fans who had tickets for the previously postponed shows in Richmond and Buffalo should hold onto them, as they will remain valid for the rescheduled performances.
With a cast of beloved professionals, thrilling performances, and newly added tour dates, Dancing With the Stars: Live Tour continues to bring the energy and excitement of the ballroom to audiences across the country.
