SALUTE TO VIENNA NEW YEAR’S CONCERT Extending the holiday spirit for just one more day, this production channels the romance of classic Vienna, with costumed ballet and ballroom dancers swirling to the strains of Viennese waltzes and operatic arias performed by singers and a full orchestra. Jan. 3. $35-$125. Symphony Hall. 888-266-1200, www.bso.org

DANCING WITH THE STARS: LIVE! The TV show takes to the road for the “Dance All Night Tour.’’ Top billing goes to Army National Guard Specialist Alex Skarlatos, who will be joined by season 21 partner Lindsay Arnold. The tour cast also includes Alan Bersten, Sharna Burgess, Brittany Cherry, Artem Chigvintsev, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Jenna Johnson, Keo Motsepe, Peta Murgatroyd, and Emma Slater. Jan. 7. $48-$92. Citi Shubert Theatre. 800-982-2787, www.citicenter.org

BALLETBOYZ Though this show is weeks away, it will probably sell out.

The troupe presents the Boston premiere of “The Dawn’’ for this first visit here in over a decade. Jan. 30-31. $35-$68. Cutler Majestic Theatre. 617-876-4275, www.world music.org KAREN CAMPBELL
