DWTS 27 Week 4 Recap – Live Blog and Performance Videos

Hey Dancing Fans,

Welcome to week four of season twenty-seven of Dancing with the Stars. Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews returned as hosts, while Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, and Bruno Tonioli returned as judges. Check out all the song and dance style spoilers HERE.

This week is trios week! It is done a little bit different than normal. Usually, a pro joins the pair or a former contestant of that pro. This season it is either past contestants (not all with the same former pro) or other celebrities. It is sure to be an interesting night.

The troupe is opening up the show with “Faith.”
