\n\tEXCLUSIVE: <\/strong>Dancing with the Stars<\/a> is gearing up to celebrate a big milestone next week, and Deadline has some exclusive details on what\u2019s in store.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn honor of the show\u2019s 20th anniversary, the November 11 episode is dedicated to commemorating two decades of the ABC<\/a> competition series \u2014 which we now know will include some familiar faces from seasons past. <\/p>\n

\n\tAhead of the show, Deadline has an exclusive look at the remaining couples\u2019 assigned dances styles and songs for the individual competition. Those are below.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut before we get to that, we can also exclusively reveal that there\u2019s an exciting twist for the relay round this season: For the first time ever, celebrities will dance without their professional partners, instead joining forces with a returning Mirrorball champion to perform a Quickstep, Viennese Waltz or Jive. <\/p>\n

\n\tNo word yet on which previous Mirrorball champions will be back in the ballroom, but we do know that original host Tom Bergeron will be the night\u2019s guest judge<\/a>. That\u2019s enough of a shocker already, considering his unexpected exit five years ago, that it seems safe to expect some interesting surprises among the other returners. <\/p>\n

\n\tAs we learned during Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night<\/a>, Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas received immunity from the relay races since they had the highest combined judges\u2019 scores of the season thus far, so they will not participate and will automatically receive two bonus points. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe remaining couples, along with their dance styles and songs, are the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n
