ABC Season 29 of "Dancing With the Stars" is here, but one of the celebrity dancers will be kicked off after their first performance.
Last week was Disney night on Dancing With the Stars, but this week’s performances may be just as iconic with many of the stars choosing to dance to upbeat pop songs.
Two couples have been eliminated so far this season, and one more will be sent home at the end of tonight’s episode, with one of the bottom two couples being saved by judges Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli.
Tonight’s show will begin with a comedic PSA cold open, and then Skai Jackson will offer up a tribute to her friend and fellow actor who died in 2019, Cameron Boyce. AJ McLean will also spend some time talking about the history of the Backstreet Boys and his journey with the band.
