ABC

Your dream of seeing the Carlton Dance live and in person is about to come true.

The newest Mirrorball champion, Alfonso Ribeiro is joining the upcoming “Dancing With the Stars” live tour along with his partner, Witney Carson. Ribeiro made the announcement during Tuesday night’s Season 19 finale, where the TV actor beat out “Pretty Little Liars” star Janel Parrish and “Duck Dynasty” daughter Sadie Robertson.

As TheWrap previously reported, the stage production, “Dancing With the Stars Live!” will take the ballroom out on the road and feature several of the professionals seen on the ABC series. In addition to Carson, the tour will also include Mark Ballas, Emma Slater, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Sasha Farber, Keo Motsepe and Kym Johnson. The tour, which launches on Dec. 27 in Niagara Falls, N.Y., will visit 39 cities across North America.

Absent from the list of dancers joining the tour is Cheryl Burke, who on Tuesday announced her retirement from the series. Executive Producer Rob Wade told TheWrap: “Cheryl has been on the show for close to 10 years. She has done a great service to the show and I think she feels that it’s time for her to move on.”

“Dancing With the Stars Live!” is produced by Faculty Productions in association with BBC Worldwide. General tickets are now on sale through www.dwtstour.com
