IT’S THE SIZZLING SEMI-FINALS SHOWDOWN ON ‘DANCING WITH THE STARS,’ NOV. 19

 

“Semi-Finals” – In the season’s penultimate episode, each of the five couples will take the stage to showcase two all-new performances as they fight for a spot in the finale. The all-new episode of “Dancing with the Stars” airs TUESDAY, NOV. 19 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST/PST, 7:00-9:01 p.m. CST), simulcasting LIVE across both ABC and Disney+ in local time zones and next day on Hulu.

Throughout the evening, each couple will perform one final ballroom dance style and one final Latin dance style as they battle it out for scores and votes. The pros and troupe will give a stunning performance to “Dance The Night” by Dua Lipa, choreographed by Sasha Farber and Ezra Sosa. Additionally, there will be a special performance to “greedy (Acoustic)” by Tate McRae, choreographed by Mandy Moore and featuring some of the professional dancers who will be joining the DWTS LIVE 2025 Tour.
