Are you ready for it?
Jan Ravnik—who gained attention as a backup dancer on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and subsequent concert movie—is joining the cast of Dancing with the Stars as a pro dancer for the upcoming 34th season, set to premiere Sept. 16.
“I traveled all around the world with the Eras Tour and now I’m coming to the ballroom stage with Dancing With the Stars,” he announced on the Aug. 28 episode of Good Morning America. “The Mirrorball never goes out of style and we are ready to win it.”
The Los Angeles-based dancer and choreographer was one of 16 dancers to grace the stage with the Grammy winner for her nearly two-year long tour—an opportunity he was thankful for from the start.
“I’m beyond grateful to be part of @taylorswift Eras Tour,” he wrote via Instagram in March 2023 alongside photos from his first show. “Still can’t put into words how I feel after yesterdays opening night!”
He continued, “I never thought that small town boy from Slovenia could come so far, but here we are.”
