"I am so proud of what our team did in London this past summer, and excited to be a part of their post-Olympic celebration in Des Moines," said Johnson, who won the DWTS Mirror Ball trophy in 2009. "Derek and I are so thankful for the support we are receiving on 'Dancing with the Stars' and excited to be involved in the Kellogg's Tour stop in my hometown. It is going to be a lot of fun."
Johnson, who won balance beam gold at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, has advanced to the third round of the DWTS all-star show with partner Hough. The Oct. 12 Des Moines show will be the duo's second appearance at the 2012 Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics Champions.
Tickets for the Tour may be purchased through the venues hosting the Kellogg's Tour across the country. Ticket prices range from $25-$240 and vary by market and seat location. Platinum and Gold VIP Packages are available in most markets and include special athlete access and a commemorative gold medal.

Due to athletes' schedules and personal commitments, the cast will vary from stop to stop. 1996 Olympian John Macready and 2004 Olympian Mary Sanders are also part of the Kellogg's Tour. The cast of gymnastics champions will be joined by local gymnasts at each tour stop.

The zone will feature activities which will help increase strength, flexibility and cardiovascular stamina. Kids can have fun and gain knowledge about the importance of fitness by participating in some of the same activities as their gymnastics idols.
