“Dancing with the Stars” pro dancer Jan Ravnik has a promise for fans. If he gets to the Season 34 finale with his celebrity partner Jen Affleck, the Taylor Swift Easter eggs will be in abundance in the ballroom.
Speaking with People magazine following his Disney Night dance with “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star, Ravnik teased that he has choreography inspired by his stint as a backup dancer on Swift’s Eras Tour ready to go.
“We already [talked] about it,” he said of a future TSwift DWTS dance with Affleck. “I think that was the first day [when] we [talked] about it, about the weeks and what our wishes are,” the ballroom pro added.
Ravnik, who climbed a ladder during the “Lavender Haze” segment of the Eras Tour in 2023 and 2024, urged fans to keep him and Affleck on “Dancing with the Stars” if they want to see more.
After Affleck suggested, “And maybe we’ll bring out the ladder,” Ravnik teased, “And some other things that you’re going to be very surprised.”
