Dancing With The Stars LIVE Tour Announced, Schedule And Ticket Information
Dancing With The Stars announced a LIVE tour tonight. You can read all about the new show HERE. Tickets go on sale very shortly. Be sure to read the link for the schedule and more.
ETA: ABCMedia net has issued a press release. You can read it in full at this link. Below is a take with a statement from Mark Ballas and Witney Carson.
The all-new DANCING WITH THE STARS: LIVE! Tour will feature a cast of the television show’s most popular competitors, treating audiences to exciting and romantic performances. Dancing with the Stars dancers will choreograph brand new never-before-seen numbers and re-create some of the show’s most memorable moments. As announced during Monday’s broadcast, Mark Ballas and Witney Carson are the first two dancers revealed to be on the tour. Further announcements will be made throughout the season.
Mark Ballas said, “I’m looking forward to hitting the road and being able to perform live across North America. See you there!”
Witney Carson added, “I’m so excited to be a part of ‘Dancing with the Stars: Live!’ I can’t wait to meet our fans and dance live for them!”
Well, this explains the lawsuit. If I heard correctly they said Witney & Mark would be touring with this, so I may have to go see it just for them.
Any info on who is going on tour? Please let me know, so I can get tickets.
I clicked on HERE above like it said and found out DWTS Live Tour will be 38 minute drive from my address on January 19, 2015. Oh my gosh, I wonder who all is going to be in the show besides Witney & Mark. No cameras are allowed to be used of any kind. I wonder if there will be much Ballroom Dancing. If it’s anything like this Season 19, there won’t be much, since we have 2 weeks left and there haven’t been many Paso Dobles, V. Waltz, A. Tango, Tango or even just Waltz. These are all my favorite dances I love to watch. Seems like the show is getting away from Ballroom even in the music selections. They will loose a lot of viewers in the 40-80 age range who have watched this show faithfully from Season One.
How many stops are the same as Move Live tour? Will these be like the cruises and have different pros for stop? I do not see a pro doing all stops. I am interested to see if this affects the cast for season 20. If I was a troop member for season 19, I would want to keep my name fresh with ABC.
Stoli, the new Move Live On Tour won’t take place until next summer. So, you should be ok to go to any of the DWTS Live shows if you want since they take place from the end of December until the middle of February.
KKat, it’s definitely going to be interesting to see how this show will go down? I wonder if it will include celebs with their original partners? It’s going to be interesting. I’d love to see BWAT this winter as I love that show too. We’ll see.
I love Mark and Witney, but I need more names! Haha! Hope Derek does a show or two!
Stoli and sorry I misunderstood your question on the Move Live On Tour (I still haven’t quite woke up yet). I haven’t looked except for Denver(closest to me) which is the same stop as what the Move Live On Tour did. I wish they would explain more on it all.
I think a lot of us members here will be having a lot of ??? Vogue. I was also wondering if their will be all Pro Dancers from the show or Celebrates from previous seasons plus S19 along with Pro Dancers. Yes, SWAT would probably be a great show from what I have read from those who have made it to SWAT. But, they would probably never come close to my area. Is this the first tour that DWTS has ever had? I’ve always thought that it would be great to see a Season live in their studio in L.A. where it’s televised, but I live in the East. Too far!
I’m really interested to see what celebs they get and if the pros sign up for the entire tour or just portions of it.
EEK! So excited! It’s coming to Cleveland, OH! To the HardRock Rocksino on Jan 18th, which is a Sunday AND on my weekend off! Oh how I want to get Front Row VIP tickets but they aren’t available yet! Wonder if Derek will go? He’s gonna be doing the DWTS Cruise on Holland at some point and with the Move Live 2 Tour not happening till Summer…hmm.
Regardless, I’M going to this show!
I don’t think anyone would advise Derek to do this tour from a business stand point. It dilutes his and juliannes drawing power for summer.
Then there’s the whole exhaustion thing and the need to do other things thing. 🙂
@Lauren #1- I had the exact same reaction as you did upon reading this news – so THIS was the motivation behind the lawsuit by BBC Worldwide against BWAT. The tour will be near my hometown – although I enjoy DWTS, not sure I am interested enough is seeing this tour. It will depend a lot on who is in the cast.
based on the vegas show and cruise, i predict sabrina bryan and carson kressley will be two possible celebrities. From this season, maybe jonathan bennett?
@jordan: besides the ones you mentioned I winderbif they r going to get Joey fatone from the Vegas show. I just hope they get a good group from a bunch of seasons though.
Please no Sabrina Bryan, Carson Kressley or Joey Fatone…I’m SO OVER them, it’s not funny :{
KellyK, I agree. They need new names if they want this to work.
I loved that Derek’s show was right in Chicago, but I will probably try to go to the Merrillville night or maybe Milwaukee.
I don’t mind if they have Carson, Sabrina, or Joey – but I would love if they got some newer folks, too. Apolo or Ralph, ideally, but probably not likely.
The VIP ticket prices were finally posted for the Denver area. OMG, I am freaking out for how expensive they are. I’m shocked they’d be that high. I sure hope they are planning to have some big named pros and celebrities or I don’t that is going to fly?
Does anyone know how much the vip tickets are??
Now we have Val, Keo, Witney, Mark, and Alfonso with Janel making special appearances. Hmm…I have a ticket for the 7:30pm show at the Cleveland OH Hard Rock Rocksino!!
Can’t WAIT!! Especially now that Alfonso and Witney JUST WON Season 19!!!
Ok Kelly # 20, Front Row VIP are $500. I’m saving my money for Julianne and Derek’s Move Live Tour 2 next summer!!! I’ll definitely get Ultimate VIP for that again!
Alfonso Ribero will be on the tour as well
