Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming tour, including the full cast, from the official press release.
Los Angeles, CA (March 7th, 2018) - Two of the hottest stars from 2017’s "So You Think You Can Dance," FOX’s hit summer competition series, are joining Maks, Val & Peta, the sensations from ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” on their brand-new tour, “Maks, Val & Peta Live On Tour: Confidential.”
Chris “Kiki” Nyemchek and Koine “Koko” Iwasaki, finalists from Season 14 of the Emmy Award-winning, “So You Think You Can Dance,” are hitting the stage with Maks Chmerkovskiy, Val Chmerkovskiy, Peta Murgatroyd and a dazzling cast of the industry’s best dancers in this highly anticipated new show, “Maks, Val & Peta Live on Tour: Confidential.”
The tour, launching March 19, will see this extraordinary group conquer 49 cities in America, with a spectacular dance show, driven by a narrative of true love, family and stories that up until now, have remained confidential.
Kiki Nyemchek, 26, first started training with Maks and Val at the age of seven and has continued to learn and perform with them ever since.
“After finishing an amazing season on ‘So You Think You Can Dance,’ where I finished top four, I am super stoked to be on this tour,” said Kiki. “I was lucky enough to do ‘Our Way,’ and feel very privileged to be joining them again.”
Koko Iwasaki added; “I first worked with Val last year on ‘So You Think You Can Dance,’ where he taught me to salsa. It was one of my favorite dances on the show. I’m honored that Val is trusting me to be on the team and learning a whole new style of dance for the tour is very exciting.”
“Maks, Val & Peta Live On Tour: Confidential” is being co-created by Maksim and Valentin Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd. “Confidential” is produced by Faculty Productions.
