Kym Herjavec is on her way! The former “Dancing With the Stars” pro has announced that she’s going to star in her very own cabaret show.

“Working with the incredible @thetoddschroeder on my very first cabaret show! Feels so amazing being creative again ! I have always loved to sing but I have always been to self conscious to sing in front of anyone! I will never be @tinaarena ( my fave ) but I’ll bring the razzle dazzle , feathers , fun stories, tambourines and maracas. I’m so excited about this next adventure… Stay tuned,” Herjavec captioned an Instagram post on October 5, 2023.

Herjavec, nee Johnson, competed on 15 seasons of “Dancing With the Stars” and won Mirrorball Trophies with Donny Osmond and Hines Ward. She left the program after dancing with her now-husband, Robert Herjavec, on season 20, but returned again for season 24 before retiring from the show for good.
