Why Fans Think 1 of Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour' Dancers Is Joining 'DWTS'

Jan Ravnik, celebrated for his choreography on Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, is poised to join Dancing With the Stars Season 34, replacing pro Gleb Savchenko.

  • On Wednesday, journalist Kristyn Burtt reported via TikTok that Jan Ravnik is being linked to Dancing With the Stars Season 34 as a new pro dancer, with the full cast revealed on September 3 and the season premiering on September 16.
  • Ravnik's high profile on Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, which ran from March 2023 to December 2024, helped his profile grow amid Gleb Savchenko's exit sparking fresh casting chatter for DWTS Season 34.
  • Ravnik's Eras Tour work established his reputation, performing choreography highlights like "Lavender Haze" and thanking Taylor Swift for `changing my life` after the tour ended.
  • Neither Jan Ravnik nor ABC have confirmed his addition to Season 34, but Reddit and social media fans reacted with comments like `Fresh blood` and jokes about his name; Robert Irwin, Alix Earle, Jen Affleck, and Whitney Leavitt are confirmed.
  • The potential casting highlights a crossover from pop tours to ballroom TV, as Kristyn Burtt teased a "new era" and described the male newcomer as "high profile" and "Dancing With the Stars adjacent" on August 20, fueling speculation about Jan Ravnik.
