Professional dancers Jen Affleck and Jan Ravnik are setting tongues wagging among fans of Taylor Swift with hints of potential performances on the hit show ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ Their recent Disney-themed routine on October 6th has sparked speculation after Ravnik made an appearance in Swift’s music video for “The Fate of Ophelia,” alongside other former Eras Tour dancers. The dynamic duo sat down with PEOPLE to discuss the possibility of choreographing a number to the pop icon’s tunes for an upcoming episode of the show.
Despite Jan Ravnik wrapping up his time on the Eras Tour, his connection to Taylor Swift’s music remains strong. The talented dancer was featured in the music video for “The Fate of Ophelia,” Swift’s leading single from her latest album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl.’ It appears that Ravnik is keen to inject some Swift-inspired moves into his collaboration with Jen Affleck, star of ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.’ Following their recent performance to “Friend Like Me” from Aladdin on the show’s Disney night, the pair confirms their intention to incorporate Swift’s music into their routines on ‘DWTS.’
Jen Affleck expressed her enthusiasm by stating that they will “absolutely” be dancing to Taylor Swift songs. Ravnik echoed her sentiment, revealing, “We already [talked] about it. I think that was the first day [when] we [talked] about it, about the weeks and what our wishes are.” The music video for “The Fate of Ophelia” was first showcased to fans at the album’s movie theatre release party on October 3rd before its official release by Swift two days later. The video features Swift’s backup dancers and band members from the Eras Tour, including Ravnik, who shared his excitement on Instagram with stills and clips from the production.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, October 6th, Ravnik expressed his gratitude, saying, “The Fate of Ophelia MV is OUT 🥳🎉 I’m so grateful to be part of this masterpiece 🧡🙏🏼” Affleck and Ravnik teased fans with the possibility of incorporating elements from the music video into their future performances on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ Affleck hinted at a potential nod to Ravnik’s performance on the Eras Tour, specifically his memorable “Lavender Haze” routine involving a ladder. The duo playfully suggested that more viewer votes could lead to a vibrant Swift-themed dance, with Affleck teasing, “And maybe we’ll bring out the ladder,” to which Ravnik added, “And some other things that you’re going to be very surprised.”
