Inaba isn’t the only DWTS regular missing from her usual spot. Former pro Sasha Farber, who partnered with The Bachelorette’s Jenn Tran last season, was not selected as a pro dancer for Season 34. Instead, DWTS brought on newcomer Jan Ravnik, a dancer from Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.

Although Farber won’t be dancing with a celebrity this season, the 41-year-old will still be involved in the show in some capacity. ABC confirmed on Monday, Sept. 15 that Farber will host a livestream to give fans a behind-the-scenes look during the DWTS premiere.

“Ready for more behind the scenes?” the caption for the DWTS Instagram post read. “We’re going LIVE on TikTok with @sashafarber1 TOMORROW to celebrate the #DWTS Premiere!”

Farber expressed excitement for his involvement, writing: “Can’t wait to showwwwww you guys around the ballroom and take you backstage !!!!!!!!!”

Dancing With the Stars Season 34 premieres on Tuesday, Sept. 6, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+. New episodes will also be available to stream the next day on ABC.com and Hulu.
