The tour kicked off on 7 January in Richmond, Virginia, and will conclude in Modesto, California, on 27 March.
Artem has been on DWTS since 2014 and has been partnered with a variety of celebrities, from Lea Thompson and Patti LaBelle to Mischa Barton.
For season 25 he was paired with WWE wrestler Nikki. In 2019 the couple became engaged and in 2020 they welcomed their first child together, a boy named Matteo.

The couple were due to marry on Thanksgiving last year but they postponed their nuptials because of the COVID-19 travel restrictions.
"The one promise I made [Artem] before we can plan is that his parents can attend," Nikki told ET at the time. "And with where the world's at right now, and trying to get two Russian parents into the country, it's almost impossible. So the day I can get two visas is the day we will set our date and say, 'I do.'"
"I think last year I said Thanksgiving, right? And I want to say next Thanksgiving," she added. "I can't believe it's been a year, but I really do want to get married. I mean, selfishly, I just want to have that, like, one big day about me. I can't wait for that and to wear that dress, but I do want to marry Artem."
