“Dancing With the Stars” just added an Eras Tour alum to its ensemble. Jan Ravnik, who most recently toured with Taylor Swift as part of the pop star’s dance squad on her sold-out tour, has joined the cast for Season 34 as a new addition to the show’s roster of professional dancers.
The dancer’s celebrity pairing was not revealed when his casting was announced on Good Morning America Thursday.
ABC previously announced a host of celebrity contestants, including Robert Irwin, influencer Alix Earle, and “Secret Lives of Mormon Housewives” stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt. The full cast will be announced Sept. 3 on “Good Morning America.”
Ravnik’s additional projects include the 97th Academy Awards, Swift’s “The Eras Tour Movie,” “Mariah Carey Christmas: The Magic Continues” and more. In addition to Swift, he has also performance onstage with Paula Abdul at the Billboard Music Awards and her Las Vegas Residency and well as part of Mariah Carey’s Christmas Tour, and with Bruno Mars.
