The penultimate Dancing with the Stars 30 episode will feature this season’s six remaining couples battling it out in two rounds of dances for a spot in the finale, as they also face a double elimination live, MONDAY, NOV. 15 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EST), on ABC.
Host Tyra Banks will walk out to “Savage” by Megan Thee Stallion. Choreographed by Liz Imperio, there will also be a special performance in which some of this season’s pros will dance to “Suéltate” (from Sing 2) by Sam I featuring Anitta, BIA and Jarina De Marco from Illumination’s new film.
For their first-round dances, celebrities will repeat a dance style they struggled with earlier in the season with a new song as their redemption dance. The judges will mentor each of the couples. Len Goodman will mentor Amanda Kloots, JoJo Siwa and Melora Hardin; Carrie Ann Inaba will mentor Suni Lee; Bruno Tonioli will mentor Cody Rigsby; Derek Hough will mentor Iman Shumpert.
For the second round, couples will perform another style of dance as they each vie for a spot in this season’s finale.
