For everyone who was disappointed to see that Apolo Ohno wouldn’t be appearing on the Dancing with the Stars tour this summer should go out and buy their tickets now. The speed skating star and winner of the recent season’s Dancing with the Stars has decided to join up with the tour for five of the tour dates.

“After the show I started training again for the Olympics but realized quickly that I couldn’t go on without at least one more week of Samba,” Ohno, 25, said in a statement.

Of course, one does have to wonder if his appearances have anything to do with his rumored romance with his dancing partner Julianne Hough, who is on the tour with dancing partner Joey McIntyre (he was in the first season).

His first appearance on the Dancing with the Stars tour will be this Saturday in Raleigh, N.C. That is followed with Hershey, Pa., on July 2; Bridgeport, Conn., on July 3; Wilkes Barre, Pa., on July 5 and Atlantic City, NJ, on July 6. 6th.

Clarification: Julianne Hough IS paired up with Joey McIntyre for the Dancing with the Stars tour, he is not dancing with his former partner from season one (as someone stated in the comments). Kym Johnson injured her arm, and Julianne Hough replaced her as Joey’s tour partner. Kym is now partnered on tour with Joey Fatone. Confused yet My mistake saying Joey won season one, all these boy band guys confused me! But yes, Julianne Hough IS dancing with Joey McIntyre on tour… although I suspect she’d be dancing with Apolo Anton Ohno too!
