Dancing with the Stars 2025: Season 34 Week 7 Halloween Night dance styles and song choices
The remaining couples get into the spooky spirit for Halloween Night. Two-time Mirrorball champion Cheryl Burke returns to the ballroom as guest judge. “Halloween Night” premieres TUESDAY, OCT. 28 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT/PDT, 7:00-9:00 p.m. CDT), simulcast LIVE across both ABC and Disney+ in local time zones and next day on Hulu. The show is produced in front of a live audience by BBC Studios.
The night will feature performances to “Sympathy is a knife” by Charli xcx featuring Ariana Grande and “The Dead Dance” by Lady Gaga; and Jan Ravnik and Jenna Johnson will perform a routine to “CANCELLED!” by Taylor Swift.
The dance marathon returns
Then, it’s the return of the dance marathon, “Dance Monster-thon.” All nine couples are set to join the ballroom floor at the same time, first dancing a Hustle and then the Lindy Hop. The judges will tap out couples from the marathon, one at a time. Couples earn additional bonus points based on how long they remain in the dance marathon, and the last couple standing will be crowned king and queen of “Dance Monster-thon.” Bonus points from the dance marathon will be added to the judges’ scores from the first round of dance to determine a final combined leaderboard of the night.
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.
How to vote
