Tyler Hartman is a local and lives in Chestertown. He made his Dance with the Stars debut two years ago and is returning this year with a vengeance!

Tyler is the Sales Director for Bohemia Manor Winery and a longtime social dancer. He can regularly be found on the dance floor at local bars, clubs, and events. He’s most at home with Latin styles like salsa and bachata, but his dance experience also includes swing, tango, merengue, and line dancing.

Tyler is excited to trade the social dance floor for the stage once more, teach his Star a few moves, and—most importantly—put on a great show for a great cause!
