Popular TV show, Dancing with the Stars, created a live tour in 2006. The tour continued on for a few years and then disappeared. Later, the show was rebranded in 2014 and brought back for audiences to enjoy in 2015. Since then the tour has been thriving and reaching new heights. 

The goal of the live tour is to showcase performers from the previous season while also highlighting the professional dancers and their talents.  Unlike the edited episodes seen on TV, the real time performances add a different feel to the show. 

Behind the scenes, there is a lot of time and effort that goes into the shows. The dancers travel across the whole country of America and Canada by bus in order to include audience members from all over. Oftentimes, they perform multiple shows across multiple nights in the same city. Their days are full with rehearsals followed by the exciting live performances. 

The show is choreographed by Mandy Moore, who is known for her productions like La La Land. The different dance styles include: ballroom, latin, and contemporary. They produce group performances and duets. 

This year specifically, the tour started performing in January and will continue into early May. The tour kicked off in Akron this year and will visit many different cities across the US and Canada. 

Although the travel can be grueling, the cast members have said that it pays off. They believe that the immediate feedback from the live audience creates a sense of satisfaction that the TV could never replace. 

Tickets can be purchased online, but the shows are majorly popular which could result in few amounts of tickets left. They even offer VIP packages which include front row seats and back stage passes to meet the dancing pros. 

Overall, this show has become a popular endeavor for fans of the dance world.
