The Eras Tour proved to be a proper training camp for dancer Jan Ravnik, who is ready to enter his Dancing With the Stars era. “I traveled all around the world with the Eras Tour and now I’m coming to the ballroom stage with ‘Dancing With the Stars,’” Ravnik told Good Morning America of joining the show as a pro. “The Mirrorball never goes out of style, and we are ready to win it.”
Ravnik’s partner on the series will be revealed in the lead-up to Season 34, set to premiere on ABC and Disney+ on Sept. 16, 2025. While he joins as a first-time pro, the list of celebrities participating in the new season is growing. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives‘ Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt will appear, as well as Hilaria Baldwin, Alix Earle, and Robert Irwin.
“I still can’t find the words to fully describe what I’m feeling. It’s like there’s this weight in my chest, a mix of gratitude, love, and sadness, because saying ‘thank you’ just doesn’t seem enough,” Ravnik wrote on Instagram when the 149-date Eras Tour came to an end. “I never imagined I’d be performing in front of sold out stadiums across the globe. Night after night, I got to share the stage with the most dedicated, creative, and passionate people.”
Ravnik spent each night on stage with fellow dancers Amanda Balen, Audrey Douglass, Kameron Saunders, Karen Chuang, Kevin Scheitzbach, Natalie Lecznar/Reid, Natalie Peterson, Raphael Thomas, Sam McWilliams, Sydney Moss, Tamiya Lewis, Taylor Banks, Tori Evans, and Whyley Yoshimura.
