STATE COLLEGE — Stephen Nedoroscik, a former Penn State men’s gymnast and Team USA bronze medalist, will return to his alma mater next year, on Thursday, Jan. 23. However, this time instead of returning for classes or a pommel horse routine, he will arrive to co-host “Dancing With the Stars: Live! 2025.”
Nedoroscik was the first male gymnast to be chosen to dance on Dancing with the Stars and made it to the season 33 final. Nedoroscik and his dancing partner Rylee Arnold placed fourth this past season.
“Dancing with the Stars: Live!” is a three-month tour that will start on Tuesday, Jan. 7, of next year, at the Altria Theater in Richmond, Virginia. The tour will include professional dancers from DWTS dancing to choreographed numbers with some of season 33’s favorite celebrities joining them on the tour.
The live show will feature Arnold alongside other dancing professionals, Alan Bersten, Brandon Armstrong, Britt Stewart, Daniella Karagach, Emma Slater, Ezra Sosa, Gleb Savcgenko and Pasha Pakov.
Second and third place-winning celebrities will also attend specific shows on the tour. Illona Maher, a rugby player for Team USA in the Paris Olympics won a bronze medal for the United States in the Paris 2024 Olympics. Maher was the runner-up for season 33 with her partner Bersten.
Chandler Kinney, an actress best known for her roles in Disney’s Z-O-M-B-I-E-S and Pretty Little Liars won third place this season with her partner Armstrong. Kinney will also be on tour with some of the professionals.
For certain shows, Joey Graziadei, the former bachelor and winner of DWTS season 33 will perform with his partner Jenna Johnson.
The Thursday, Jan. 23, performance at the Bryce Jordan Center will have a performance by Grazaidei and Johnson.
