Celebrity and professional two-steppers featured on both past and current editions of ABC's Dancing with the Stars will soon be waltzing to a city near you, as winter tour dates and locations for the third season of Dancing with the Stars - The Tour were recently announced.

The 37-city North American tour will kick-off December 18 at Seattle's KeyArena and will conclude on February 10 at Philadelphia's Wachovia Center, with tickets for various shows going on sale between Saturday, November 10 through Monday, November 12.
Dancing with the Stars professionals Alec Mazo, Derek Hough, Brian Fortuna, Kym Johnson, and Karina Smirnoff are currently scheduled to perform at all of the winter tour's stops.
Three of the show's fifth-season couples -- Wayne Newton and two-time mirror ball trophy winning professional Cheryl Burke; Marie Osmond and professional Jonathan Roberts; as well as Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas -- will perform at several of the tour locations.
In addition, third-season runner-ups Joey Lawrence and Edyta Sliwinska as well as second-season celebrity champ Drew Lachey will also be included on several of the stops throughout the tour. Former Dancing with the Stars professional Louis van Amstel will choreograph the tour for the third straight season.

Each two-hour show on the tour will recreate the ABC reality competition series' actual stage for the audience, using "intimate nightclub style table seating" on the floor. Featuring both celebrity group and solo dances -- along with sets from the professional dancers -- the show will also incorporate never-before-seen rehearsal footage and exclusive interviews and out takes.
Along with AEG LIVE, Dancing with the Stars - The Tour is produced by BBC Worldwide and Frontline Management Group. Addition information is available on the tour's dancingwiththestars.aeglive.com website.
