Get ready for a spine-tingling evening of dance and drama as the ballroom transforms into a haunted haven on 'Halloween Night'! This special episode, airing on October 28th, promises to be a thrilling treat for fans of 'Dancing with the Stars'.
But here's where it gets controversial... the return of the 'Dance Monster-thon'! All nine couples will battle it out in a dance marathon, showcasing their endurance and skills. With a guest judge, the esteemed Cheryl Burke, joining the panel, the competition is sure to be fierce.
The night's performances will feature a haunting twist with eerie makeovers and chilling routines. Get ready for some spine-chilling moves as the couples dance to songs like 'Sympathy is a Knife' by Charli XCX and Ariana Grande, and 'The Dead Dance' by Lady Gaga. And this is the part most people miss - Jan Ravnik and Jenna Johnson will perform a routine to 'CANCELLED!' by Taylor Swift, adding a touch of drama to the evening.
The 'Dance Monster-thon' will be a highlight, with all couples taking to the floor simultaneously. First, they'll Hustle, and then Lindy Hop their way to victory. The judges will eliminate couples one by one, and the last standing pair will be crowned the kings and queens of this monster-sized dance-off! The bonus points earned in this marathon will be added to the judges' scores, creating an exciting combined leaderboard.
Fans can participate by voting during the live simulcast. Online voting is open to all U.S. fans, and those with participating wireless carriers can even vote via SMS. The live viewer votes will be combined with the judges' scores, creating a thrilling elimination round.
During the dance marathon, couples will perform a Hustle to 'Murder on the Dancefloor' by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and a Lindy Hop to 'A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)' by Fergie, Q-Tip, and GoonRock. It's a dance-off like no other!
