Perez will join regular judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli for Monday night’s show, as the remaining Season 33 couples pay tribute to Soul Train. Perez started her career as a dancer on the classic variety show, so she knows what she’s talking about.
ABC reports that Soul Train Night will also feature an opening number set to the song “T.S.O.P. (The Sound of Philadelphia)” by MFSB featuring The Three Degrees, choreographed by Luam. The routine will feature guest dancer Popin’ Pete of The Electric Boogaloos.
