The three-hour finale episode of Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars sees the five remaining couples competing for a chance at winning the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. To do so, they each dance three times in the most demanding finale yet: performing a Judges’ Choice dance, an Instant Dance, plus a Freestyle routine.
The five remaining couples are Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy, Robert Irwin and Witney Carson, Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach, Elaine Hendrix and Alan Bersten, and Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa.
Here’s how the dances break down: For the “Judges’ Choice,” the judges – Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli — provide coaching and insight to each couple as they tackle a final new ballroom or Latin dance style.

The “Instant Dance Challenge” is the ultimate test of improvisation: the couples have no knowledge of the dance style or the song until only minutes before performing it LIVE!
Freestyle: Finally, the couples leave it all on the ballroom floor with the iconic Freestyle round.
Kicking off the night is an opening number to “Never Can Say Goodbye” by The Communards, choreographed by Joey Pizzi.
All Season 34 couples return to the ballroom with additional performances to “Sugar on My Tongue” by Tyler, The Creator, “Applause” by Lady Gaga, and “I Don’t Dance” by Alexander Jean.
