“Exciting News! Announcing my brand new National Tour ‘DANCE FOR THE HOLIDAYS,’” Hough captioned an Instagram post on July 30. “Get ready for amazing dancing, stunning choreography, uplifting performances, live music, and an epic production,” the caption continued.

Hayley Erbert Will Be Supporting Her Husband but Not Dancing This Time Around
In 2023, Hough enlisted his wife, Hayley Erbert, to be a part of the Symphony of Dance tour. The ballroom pros had been traveling all over the country until the beginning of December when Erbert suffered a medical emergency. At that time, Hough canceled the remainder of the tour until further notice.
In an update posted to his Instagram feed on December 8, 2023, Hough said he and Erbert were going through an “incredibly unfathomable and life changing time.” Erbert underwent a craniectomy after doctors found a hematoma.
On February 14, 2024, Hough took to Instagram to announce that the tour was back on.
“Hey, everyone! So, I am so thrilled to be announcing the continuation of my Symphony of Dance tour,” Hough said. “This includes the rescheduled dates from December and some brand new dates. So, for any fan that still has tickets from the December dates, those will still be valid for the rescheduled shows,” he continued.
Fortunately, Erbert was feeling well enough to dance. For the holiday tour, however, it seems as though Erbert will be taking a break.
“My babe is going back out on the road! But this time… it’s for the holidays,” she captioned a post on her Instagram Stories on July 31.
