Get ready for a night of emotional moments when the DWTS celebrities dance to a song that represents the most memorable year of their lives. Speculate on why the stars chose the particular songs that they did. Most of them are pretty easy to figure out. What could be more obvious than Suzanne & Tony dancing to the “Three’s Company” theme? Or Michael & Peta performing the Rumba to “Not My Father’s Son” from Kinky Boots. Also, along with the songs, we have dance styles via Pure DWTS.
And as a SUPER SPECIAL BONUS, check out this week’s rehearsal video from
