Throughout the first evening, the celebrity and pro duos will perform the time-honored dances that include the Quickstep, Paso Doble, Cha Cha, Foxtrot, Jive, Salsa or Tango.

How to Vote

For DWTS week 1, there will be no elimination but there will be a special premiere viewer vote. Voting is available via abc.com and SMS/text. And for premiere only, the vote will close at 5 a.m. EDT, Tuesday, Sept. 22.

Both the viewer votes and the judges’ scores from the premiere will carry over and be combined with judges’ scores and viewer votes from week two. In the following weeks,  the live vote combined with the judges’ scores will be revealed during the broadcast.

Beginning in week two, the live votes will occur each episode only during the live broadcast in the ET/CT time zones (but fans in all U.S. time zones may vote within that window).
