The Dancing With the Stars live tour is one of the most exciting parts of the entire DWTS season, and it’s officially returning for 2026. If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing DWTS’s biggest dances live and in-person — without the commercial breaks — the live tour is the ultimate fan experience. Think of it as DWTS without the TV cameras — it brings all the energy of the ballroom straight to the stage.
The DWTS live tour is built around the professional dancers rather than the celebrities, which means the cast typically includes fan-favorite pros from the most recent season, along with returning DWTS staples. Although the pros are the ones headlining the performances, leading group numbers, and recreating routines inspired by the show, there are occasional surprise celebrity performances throughout the tour. The production is fast paced and very theatrical, with new choreography, costume changes, and chances for the dancers to show off their personalities in a way you don’t always see when they are competing.

The 2026 cast has officially been announced, and this year’s lineup is stacked with fan-favorite pros. Emma Slater, Val Chmerkovskiy, Britt Stewart, Alan Bersten, Brandon Armstrong, Jenna Johnson, Pasha Pashkov, Daniella Karagach, Ezra Sosa, and Hailey Bills are all confirmed to hit the road. While the tour is led by the pros, DWTS has occasionally brought celebrities along for select stops in past years, so surprise appearances are always a possibility.
