"Every time I think I'll never do this again they suck me back in!" joked Rycroft, who has competed twice on the show. The singer said she's excited to travel by bus and "live like rock stars" with her husband and two children.

Pro dancers taking part in the tour include Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Witney Carson and Petra Murgatroyd. Performances will feature both new choreography and popular numbers from the show.

"The opportunity to go out on the road theater to theater and have the privilege to perform in front of our fans, getting to meet them and interact with them is an opportunity I couldn't pass up," Chmerkovskiy said.

"Dancing With the Stars" is now airing its 10th-anniversary season on Monday nights (8 p.m. EDT).
