Rylee Arnold and Stephen Nedoroscik Take PEOPLE Behind-the-Scenes of the “Dancing with the Stars” Tour (Exclusive)

'Dancing with the Stars' Live runs through April 5, with season 33 winner Joey Graziadei, Chandler Kinney and Ilona Maher also set to join for performances

Dancing with the Stars: Live! is officially back — and Rylee Arnold and Stephen Nedoroscik are bringing PEOPLE along with them as they kick off this year's shows.

After the 2025 tour's opening night in Richmond, Virginia was postponed due to water services issues, the shows kicked off in Baltimore, Maryland on Thursday, Jan. 9 with Nedoroscik, 26, as the co-host. The Olympian will be performing at all 81 performances through April 5, and will be joined by some of his former competitors, including season 33 winner Joey Graziadei, runner-up Ilona Maher and Chandler Kinney, who finished in third place, at various stops along the way.

Arnold, 19, is joined by eight of her fellow pros on tour, including her BFF Ezra Sosa, Alan Bersten, Brandon Armstrong, Britt Stewart, Daniella Karagach, Emma Slater, Gleb Savchenko and Pasha Pashkov. Jenna Johnson, who won season 33 with Graziadei, will also be hitting the road for a few appearances.

Friends for Life

Nedoroscik and Arnold are more than just dance partners — they're bonded for life.

Following the DWTS finale in November, the Olympian gushed about his partner, whose "positivity, kindness, and determination made every second of this experience worthwhile."

"Looking back on our first rehearsals, when I was timid, to now ending the show with a perfect score, it is unbelievable what you have taught me," he wrote of Arnold. "Thank you for not only being the best dance partner, but also an indispensable friend
