The ten remaining couples prepare for the most emotionally charged night of the season. For “Dedication Night,” each celebrity will perform a routine in honor of an influential person in their life, bringing deeply personal stories to the ballroom floor. With routines including a Viennese Waltz, Contemporary, and Foxtrot, the performances are designed to be as meaningful as they are technical.
Two-time Mirrorball Champion Kym Johnson returns as a guest judge, bringing her expert eye to a night where emotional connection is just as important as perfect footwork. For the first time, the family and friends being honored will join the couples on the floor, making for some powerful moments. From Robert Irwin paying tribute to his mother Terri to Danielle Fishel dedicating her Jive to “Boy Meets World” co-star Bill Daniels, the evening is set to be a moving tribute. But who will channel that emotion into a performance that keeps them in the competition?
Dancing with the Stars airs Tuesday October 14, at 8/7c on ABC and streams live on Disney+.
