The six remaining couples are returning to the ballroom floor for the Tuesday, November 12, season 33 episode to honor the ABC compeтιтion series with tributes to past iconic routines. The night will open with a number choreographed by Pasha Pashkov and Danielle Karagach. Later on in the evening, the pros will come together to recreate the first opening number that was ever performed on DWTS season 1. Fan-favorite stars from past seasons will also be making special appearances in the ballroom, according to ABC.
“In celebration of countless iconic performances from the past 32 seasons, each couple will pay tribute to past memorable dances while adding their own unique reinterpretation and flair for season 33,” ABC shared in a press release. “In a second round, the couples will tackle the ultimate test, an ‘Instant Dance Challenge.’ They won’t know the dance style or the song until approximately five minutes before performing it LIVE!”
