On Monday night, May 1 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC, the couples will dance a Charleston, paso doble, tango, Argentine tango, or salsa to songs that represent a particular movie genre -- including horror, action and romance -- in "A Night At the Movies."
Week 7 of the competition will kick off with an exciting opening number choreographed by four-time Emmy nominee Mandy Moore, who worked on the set of La La Land.
The super-sized routine will feature all seven couples and the DWTS Troupe performing to "Let's Go to the Movies."
Moore will join show judges Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba as a guest judge on the panel.

In addition, the broadcast will feature Dove Cameron, Cameron Boyce, Sofia Carson and Booboo Stewart from the Disney Channel original movie Descendants 2 performing a medley to "Rotten to the Core" and "Ways to Be Wicked."
The couple who earns the highest score from the judges in the first movie-genres round will win immunity from the subsequent Dance-Off as well as the double elimination, which will take place at the end of the night.
Six couples will therefore square off in the Dance-Off in attempt to receive additional judges' points.
