Dancing With The Stars will celebrate a two-night special in the week of October 17. Themes, song, and dances have already been revealed for the upcoming two episodes. Be prepared for not one, but two eliminations in the upcoming week.
What To Expect On DWTS Stars’ Stories Week
The DWTS week kicks off on Monday, October 17 with the Most Memorable Year Night. The night is all about the celebrities of this season and a year that is both memorable and holds great meaning to them. Viewers can expect to see backstories both happy and sad. Keep the tissues ready, because you might need them.
DWTS‘s Stories Week continues on Tuesday, October 18 with the highly anticipated Prom Night. In addition to the couple’s prom night dance routines, they also need to perform two more dance styles. On top of the pair’s assigned styles of the week, they are required to dance the Hustle and the Lindy Hop to select songs. The best couple of the night will be crowned prom king and queen.
The celebrities and professional dancers have got their work cut out for them for the upcoming week of the competition. A couple will go home each night, which means two teams will go home by the end of Tuesday. The unfortunate couple eliminated on Monday night will not get to perform their prom night routine.
