Live Nation Press Release

Following last year’s fan-frenzy that led to a sensational sold-out tour, “Dancing with the Stars” is back on tour to heat up the winter with a dazzling, sexy, high-energy, brand-new live production! This year’s all-new stage show, which includes a stop at Shea's Buffalo Theatre in Buffalo on Jan. 21, 2025, will feature your favorite professional dancers from the hit television series performing glittering new numbers as well as some of the showstoppers featured in season 33.

Audiences at “Dancing with the Stars: Live!” will have the opportunity to experience the breathless excitement, the athleticism, and the artistry they see in the TV show’s famed ballroom live, up-close, and personal. The tour delivers an unforgettable night of electrifying dance performances from world-renowned dancers who topped the leaderboard, including Emma Slater, Alan Bersten, Brandon Armstrong, Britt Stewart, Daniella Karagach, Gleb Savchenko, Pasha Pashkov, and Rylee Arnold.

“It is such a honor to be able to produce the ‘DWTS’ live tour once again and get to collaborate with the sensational pro dancers, celebs, and creative team to bring this show to life,” said Jared Paul of Faculty Inc. “We love getting to see fans of all ages fill the venues and get to experience all the excitement that ‘DWTS’ has to offer. We at Faculty promise to deliver a brand-new, next-level show in 2025 that is sure to bring the ballroom to life in the fan’s hometown.”

“Dancing with the Stars: Live!” is also thrilled to announce that Emmy Award-winner Mandy Moore (Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour,” “La La Land”) will be returning to choreograph and direct this year’s tour. 

“Directing this tour is one of my favorite times of the year,” she said. “I have a longstanding history with the ‘DWTS’ brand and these dancers – it’s like returning home to family. The collaboration with these world-class performers presents an amazing opportunity to highlight their inimitable talent, their athleticism, and it’s what truly makes them artists.”

Ryan O’Dowd, executive vice president of entertainment and music at BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions and BBC Studios executive producer for “DWTS,” said, “ ‘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. 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.”

Tickets for “Dancing with the Stars: Live!” go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 11, at DWTSTour.com.
