WATCH: Ilona Maher's surprise DWTS Tour appearance leaves Alan Bersten in shock

DWTS choreographer Alan Bersten was stupefied as his dance partner Ilona Maher made a surprise appearance at the DWTS live tour. Bersten was hosting one of the stage shows as part of the current DWTS live tour.

Out of nowhere, Maher made an appearance, leaving both Bersten and the audience shell shocked. The crowd went crazy, setting stage for an impromptu performance. Maher dropped a two-word reaction as she posted the video on her Instagram profile, writing,

"Surprise Vegas"

In another video, Maher was seen cheering for Bersten, who was dressed as a cowboy. All of a sudden, the choreographer invited her on stage. Maher wrote about the moment on her Instagram profile,

"What a coincidence…. Thanks to @britainnielson for capturing this"

A few days ago, Bersten got a photo clicked with fellow choreographer Brandon Armstrong, who lifted him up for an important sequence during the rehearsals for the current tour. This drew comparisons with the iconic lift made by Maher during the 33rd season of 'Dancing with the Stars' during October 2024. Bersten also joined the trend by sharing the photo on his Instagram profile with the following caption:

"Sorry @brandonarmstrong but @ilonamaher lifted me better."

Alan Bersten and Ilona Maher are accompanying the DWTS live tour, which will wrap up by April 2025.
