One day after season 21 of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars crowned its winner, the network’s announced fan favorite Alek Skarlatos has signed up for the Dancing with the Stars: Live! – Dance All Night Tour. Skarlatos will be on the tour with his season 21 partner Lindsay Arnold. Also confirmed for the tour are Alan Bersten, Sharna Burgess, Brittany Cherry, Artem Chigvintsev, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Jenna Johnson, Keo Motsepe, Peta Murgatroyd and Emma Slater, with more DWTS favorites to be announced soon.
“This year has been a whirlwind of emotions and activities, and I can’t think of a better way to cap it off than to tour America with my DWTS family while being able to greet everyone who has been so supportive of me during this year. This has been an experience of a lifetime,” stated Alex Skarlatos.
Army National Guard Specialist Skarlatos earned hero status after stopping a man from opening fire and killing passengers on a train from Amsterdam to Paris. His actions earned the American hero the United States Army Soldier’s Medal and the Legion of Honour award from France.
