    The cast members of “Dancing with the Stars” will bring their ballroom moves onto the Benedum Center stage in Pittsburgh once again in February.

    The Dancing with the Stars: Live! tour will come to the city on Feb. 4, 2025, featuring professional dancers Emma Slater, Alan Bersten, Brandon Armstrong, Britt Stewart, Daniella Karagach, Gleb Savchenko, Pasha Pashkov and Rylee Arnold.

    Celebrity guest stars from Season 33 of the reality competition show will be announced at a later date, according to a release. This season includes “pommel horse guy” Stephen Nedoroscik, Bachelorette Jenn Tran, Bachelor Joey Graziadei, Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher and more. However, not all of the stars from the season will be included in the tour.

    The live show will include numbers from this season, as well as new dances. Mandy Moore, who choreographed Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour and “La La Land” will return to choreograph this year’s tour, according to a release.

    “Directing this tour is one of my favorite times of the year. … It’s like returning home to family,” Moore said in a statement. “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.”

    Tickets to the live Pittsburgh show will go on sale Friday for the public, with presale starting at 10 a.m., and Wednesday for Mirrorball Members and VIP Packages. All tickets and can be purchased at dwtstour.com.

    “’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,” said Ryan O’Dowd, BBC Studios executive producer for Dancing with the Stars. “Watching the TV show is brilliant, but when you … feel the exhilaration of some of the most powerful performances ever seen on the dance floor, it’s a whole new phenomenon.

    The reality competition show, which airs weekly on ABC and Disney+ with next day viewing on Hulu, features Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough as co-hosts, and Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough at the judges’ table.

    Since 2005, vote totals have been kept secret, but following the Sept. 24 episode when convicted felon Anna Delvey and “Beverly Hills, 90210” star Tori Spelling were both eliminated, ABC said more than 14 million fan votes were received — the most on a single episode in series history, according to Deadline.
