Let's face it: the real stars of "Dancing with the Stars" are the dance professionals who coach their "celebrities" through their paces and who create choreography to best showcase their Vanilla Ices or their Ryan Lochtes or their Amber Roses.

So it's wonderful that those pros get to highlight their own talent when the "Dancing with the Stars: Live" tour travels the country every year. The latest version is coming to Mohegan Sun Arena for performances on Friday and Saturday, and it'll feature Val Chmerkovskiy, Lindsay Arnold, Alan Bersten, Sharna Burgess, Artem Chigvintsev, Hayley Erbert, Jenna Johnson, Keo Motsepe, Gleb Savchenko, and Emma Slater. Super talents, all.

Joining this illustrious group will be Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez, who won the latest season of "Dancing with the Stars."

Dancing with the Stars: Live!, 8 p.m. Fri. and Sat., Mohegan Sun Arena; $45; 1-800-745-3000.
