On the upcoming Monday, May 15 semifinals performance show on ABC, Rashad Jennings, Normani Kordei, Simone Biles, and David Ross will be tasked with learning two full dances.
First, the celebrity and professional pairings will each work closely with one of the Dancing with the Stars judges -- Julianne Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, or Bruno Tonioli.
In the special "Judges' Challenge," the judges will come up with a specific request for his or her assigned couple. When this challenge was done in the past, the judges came up with the entire creative concept, costumes included, for the routines.
In the second round of competition, each couple will perform a style of dance that is brand new to the celebrities. There's a first time for everything! The styles will be the rumba, quickstep, jazz, tango, jive, foxtrot or Viennese waltz.
