Last year, nearly all Dancing With the Stars pros packed their bags for the nationwide tour alongside several fan-favorite celebrities from season 34, including winner Robert Irwin, runner-up Alix Earle and more. One familiar face was missing on stage at the time as Arnold announced her decision to not be involved in the tour while focusing on her health. (She later surprised fans while appearing for select dates, sharing that she was “so happy” to be participating.)
“So sad I won’t be on the DWTS tour this year,” she explainedevealed. “Being on tour the last two years was seriously the most amazing experience ever. I’ve made the best memories and met the best people.”
She continued, “This year, I had to make the hard decision to sit it out and focus on my health, especially with managing my Type 1 diabetes, which can be tricky on the road. I’m gonna miss it SO much, but I’ll definitely be cheering everyone on and can’t wait to come watch.”
Arnold’s BFF and fellow DWTS pro Sosa publicly supported her decision at the time, writing
“The decision you made to put your health first is such a strong and mature one, and I honestly admire that so much,” he wrote at the time. “It takes real courage to do that in this industry, and I hope you know how inspiring that is. … Love you always. 💖.”
While pros Chmerkovskiy and Johnson took a hiatus from the full tour for five years, the married couple returned — and hit the road with their 3-year-old son, Rome — after last season.
“We took a moment to have a child and enjoy our offseason,” Chmerkovskiy told <a href="https://comicvibe.com/amc-entertainment-holdings-amc-shares-just-moved-so-what-is-driving-attention-now/” title=”AMC Entertainment Holdings (AMC) Shares Just Moved, So What Is Driving Attention Now?”>Entertainment Weekly in 2025. “What a treat to be back on the road and to do it at a time when the show is in its peak again and experiencing this incredible renaissance with a whole new audience. I’m very excited.”
Deal of the Day
For Johnson, the tour is an avenue to create pieces that aren’t possible on television.
“We are elite at what we do, and to have the opportunity to dance with each other and really exercise our choreography and our brains, it’s such a treat for us,” Johnson said. “We prioritize the celebrities during the season, and the tour is an opportunity for the pros to do what we do best. It’s such a creative space. We get to partner with each other on such a high level.”
Dancing With the Stars season 35 airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
