Longtime “Dancing With the Stars” pro Val Chmerkovskiy flew to Philadelphia to catch the DWTS Live! Tour. The Mirrorball Trophy winner was in the audience for the majority of the show, cheering on his wife, Jenna Johnson, and his friends who are in the show.
At one point, Chmerkovskiy found himself on stage, which was a real treat for fans in the audience. Based on a video that was shared on Reddit, it appears Alan Bersten brought Chmerkovskiy on stage as his partner for some square dancing.
Chmerkovskiy put on a cowboy hat and danced around with Bersten for the fun number.
