Iman Shumpert Joins DANCING WITH THE STARS – DARE TO BE DIFFERENT'! Tour Coming To The Duke Energy Center!

America's favorite dance show is back on tour this winter to celebrate its 30th Season with "Dancing with the Stars - Dare to Be Different." The tour will stop in Raleigh at the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts on February 27, 2022.

This year's all-new production will feature fan-favorite professional dancers thrilling audiences with all of the breathtaking dance styles seen on ABC's hit show Dancing with the Stars. The show continues its legacy of performing showstopping routines from the TV show alongside new numbers choreographed specifically for the live show, ranging from time-honored dances like the Quickstep and Foxtrot to sizzling Latin styles like the Cha Cha, Salsa, and Tango. In this year's state-of-the-art production, audiences will have the opportunity to experience the excitement, glitz and glamour they see in the ballroom every Monday night live in their hometowns.

The tour delivers a spectacular night of pulse-pounding dance performances from world-renowned dancers including Brandon Armstrong, Alan Bersten, Artem Chigvintsev, Sasha Farber, Koko Iwasaki, Daniella Karagach, Pasha Pashkov, GLEB SAVCHENKO, EMMA SLATER, and Britt Stewart, and Sofia Ghavami!*

From our pros: "After being separated from our fans for almost two years, the Dancing with the Stars: Live! Tour is BACK, and we couldn't be more excited to finally see you IN PERSON! While these past two years have thrown many obstacles our way, we've emerged from those challenges with a renewed sense of self: stronger, prouder, more resilient, and more courageous. That's why the theme of this year's tour is Dare To Be Different. When presented with unprecedented times, we are called to break the mold. So why not embrace the qualities that make us who we are? Every one of us is bold, strong, vulnerable, passionate and iconic, and now it's time to unleash our inner trailblazer by doing what we love most: dancing. NOTHING beats getting to bring a smile to your face and celebrating this community of fans, the reason DWTS has been running for 30 SEASONS and why this experience is so special for us. That is why we tour and why we're fired up to be bringing you this fully revamped live experience. We will never take it for granted. So, whether you're a new fan or a DWTS OG, join us as we go big and find the magic in live connection once again."

We are also THRILLED to announce that alongside previously announced season 29 Mirrorball Champion Kaitlyn Bristowe and season 30 fan-favorites Amanda Kloots and Jimmie Allen, NBA superstar and Season 30 Mirrorball Champion Iman Shumpert will be joining for half of the tour.

World-renowned choreographers Marty Kudelka and Pam Chu will co-direct the all-new show.
