This live production will showcase a mix of classic ‘DWTS’ moments from the current season and brand-new routines choreographed exclusively for the stage. The upcoming tour features some of the show’s most beloved pros, including Brandon Armstrong, Alan Bersten, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Jenna Johnson, Daniella Karagach, Pasha Pashkov, Emma Slater, Ezra Sosa, Britt Stewart, and Hailey Bills. Each performer brings their unique style and spark, from fiery Latin numbers to elegant ballroom pieces. Returning to lead the creative charge is Emmy Award-winning choreographer Mandy Moore, known for her work on ‘La La Land’ and ‘Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.’
Under Moore’s direction, the 2026 production will feature reimagined fan-favorite dances, new costumes, and a cinematic stage experience. For longtime fans, one of the most heartwarming parts of this tour is the reunion of married pros Valentin Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson. They will perform together for the full run for the first time in five years. The pair took time off to start their family, welcoming their first child in early 2023. Now, they’re bringing their son along for the ride, marking his first cross-country adventure.

“We took a moment to have a child and enjoy our off season,” Chmerkovskiy shared in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. “But man, what a treat to be back on the road and to do it at a time when the show is in its peak again and experiencing this incredible renaissance with a whole new audience. I'm very excited to get out on the road.” Johnson added, “We get to show him [son] all of America and show him what mommy and daddy do for a living. It's, it's very special that we get to do this as a family.”
