For the first round of regular dances, the professional partners will choose the songs for the celebrity contestants. The pairs will dance either a tango, salsa, Argentine tango, contemporary or waltz routine.
And for the second round dubbed "Iconic Dance," the couples will take on and reinterpret an iconic routine from a previous Dancing with the Stars season. Either a jazz, paso doble, jive, tango or Charleston routine will be performed by each couple.
The "Iconic Dance" scores will be added to the pairs' individual dance scores for a final tally on the judges' leaderboard.
At the end of the night, one more couple will be eliminated based on the judges' scores and home viewer votes cast during the last November 6 episode.
