‘Dancing With the Stars’ Premiere Week (Night 1) Songs and Dances

Fourteen celebrities will make their first appearance tomorrow night in the Season 34 Dancing with the Stars ballroom, as each is paired up with a pro partner in competition for this season’s Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

The duos will be scored by judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli as they perform a salsa, a cha cha, a tango or a jive. Who will make the top of the leaderboard? Of course, the judges’ scores only take the couples halfway to the finale. The other half will be viewers’ votes.

Fans will be able to vote during the live simulcast of the show in the ET/CT time zones. During this time, online voting will be available to fans in any time zone in the U.S., its territories and Canada via dwtsvote.abc.com. And fans on participating U.S. wireless carriers can also vote via SMS/text (fans in Canada cannot vote via SMS/text).

While the hit ABC reality series has already revealed nobody will be going home on Tuesday’s premiere, the first dance still matters! Live viewer votes from the first two weeks of competition will be combined with the judges’ scores from both weeks to determine which couples may be in jeopardy of elimination after two weeks of dancing.

Here’s a list of songs and dances the couples will be performing in the DWTS Season 34 premiere.
