Taylor Swift Backup Dancer Jan Ravnik Joins Dancing With Stars Season 34

Jan Ravnik, a professional dancer known for his work as a backup dancer on Taylor Swift's Eras Tour and appearances in high-profile events such as the 2025 Oscars, is joining Dancing with the Stars for its 34th season. His addition was announced on Good Morning America and teased on the show's Instagram, with Ravnik expressing excitement about transitioning from global tours to the ballroom stage. He replaces longtime pro Gleb Savchenko, who was reportedly fired following allegations of cheating, with sources praising Ravnik for his talent, charm, and choreography skills. Ravnik's hiring was aided by his connection to DWTS choreographer Mandy Moore, who also choreographed Swift's Eras Tour. His background includes work with major artists like Mariah Carey, Bruno Mars, and Paula Abdul, as well as appearing in "The Eras Tour Movie." Fans and insiders alike view Ravnik as a strong and charismatic new addition to the DWTS family.
