The Dancing With The Stars tour just announced a major cast shakeup.
On Saturday, February 28, pros Jenna Johnson, Daniella Karagach, Britt Stewart, and Brandon Armstrong announced via Instagram they will miss upcoming tour dates to participate in an undisclosed project.
However, the pros won’t all be absent at the same time. Armstrong is set to step away from March 3–10, followed by Stewart (March 6–13), Johnson (March 11–17) and Karagach (March 14–20).
While this may be bad news for DWTS fans, Stewart told them not to worry, as a "very familiar beloved pro" will be stepping in while the four dancers are away. The video did not announce who that pro is, but fans are speculating it's either Rylee Arnold or Jan Ravnik.
