The ABC ballroom competition, streaming on Disney+ for the first time, is having a major schedule shake-up by airing two episodes this week: one on Monday and the other on Tuesday.
The overall theme for the week is “Stars’ Stories Week,” and Monday’s specific theme is “Most Memorable Year.”
For “Most Memorable Year,” the Season 31 celebrity contestants—which include the likes of The Bachelorette’s Gabby Windey, actor Wayne Brady and film star Selma Blair—have picked a year in which something memorable happened to them and will dance to a song that relates to the period.
On Monday, the top 12 couples will perform, and at the end of the episode Dancing With the Stars hosts Tyra Banks and Alfonso Ribeiro will reveal which duo has been eliminated.
The remaining 11 pairs will take to the dance floor once again on Tuesday for “Prom Night,” during which a second couple will be axed.
Tuesday will also see the contestants take part in a dance marathon where all 11 couples dance in the ballroom at the same time, featuring two styles: the hustle, which they will perform to “Hot Stuff” by Donna Summer; and the Lindy Hop, which they will perform to “Jump Jive an’ Wail” by the Brian Setzer Orchestra.
Bonus points will be awarded to couples based on the order in which judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough tap them out—and the last couple standing will be crowned prom king and queen.
Ahead of the two-night Dancing With the Stars special, Newsweek has everything you need to know about the dances the contestants are performing this week, as well as which song they are performing to.
