Following a shocking end to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night, season 34 celebrates the 20th anniversary of Dancing With the Stars — but what performances are in store for viewers?
ABC unveiled details before the Tuesday, November 11, episode regarding the evening, which sees past emcee Tom Bergeron as a guest judge with Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli.
Hough, 40, will choreograph the opening act, which will be performed to a revamped live rendition of the DWTS theme by Ray Chew, and will feature current pros and the troupe in addition to six original pros from season 1: Alec Mazo, Ashly DelGrosso, Louis van Amstel, Jonathan Roberts, Charlotte Jorgensen and Edyta Śliwińska.
Afterward, the show will commemorate departed DWTS performers through a routine set to Lady Gaga’s “Always Remember Us This Way,” with choreography and performance by Ezra Sosa and Rylee Arnold.
Partner dances, displaying a fresh take on a previous freestyle dance, include a Foxtrot from Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy, a Cha Cha by Jordan Chiles and partner Sosa and more. Later, the Relay Dance makes its return before an intriguing new twist occurs, with celebrities dancing sans their pros, instead pairing with a returning Mirrorball winner to execute a Quickstep, Viennese Waltz or Jive.
