This week’s Dancing with the Stars theme is….Famous Dances. The pairs will recreate iconic dance routines from the movies and music videos. For instance, Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough will recreate the iconic “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” routine from Dirty Dancing. According to Derek, DWTS alum, Jennifer Grey, will be helping the pair get ready to Rumba! In case you’ve been hiding under a rock: Jennifer starred in the beloved 80’s hit and knows a thing or two about lifts!
Also Alex Pena-Vega tweeted a photo with a snake, apparently preparing a very faithful recreation of the “Slave 4 U” music video by Britney Spears.
