It\u2019s time to party! Dancing with the Stars is celebrating 20 incredible years of dazzling moves, unforgettable moments and show-stopping performances with the return of former host Tom Bergeron<\/strong> joining the party as a special guest judge for the \u201c20th Birthday Party\u201d episode, alongside Carrie Ann Inaba<\/strong>, Derek Hough<\/strong> and Bruno Tonioli<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Choreographed by Derek Hough<\/strong> and set to a reimagined live version of the \u201cDancing with the Stars Theme\u201d by Ray Chew,<\/strong> the opening number brings together current pros and troupe, plus six original pros from Season 1: Alec Mazo<\/strong>, Ashly DelGrosso<\/strong>, Louis van Amstel<\/strong>, Jonathan Roberts<\/strong>, Charlotte Jorgensen<\/strong> and Edyta \u015aliwi\u0144ska<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Then, the show honors the beloved DWTS performers we\u2019ve lost over the years with a moving performance to \u201cAlways Remember Us This Way\u201d by Lady Gaga<\/strong>, choreographed and performed by Ezra Sosa<\/strong> and Rylee Arnold<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc83\ud83c\udffb\ud83d\udc83\ud83c\udffb<\/strong><\/a>SIGN UP for our Dancing with the Stars newsletter to get access to exclusive news, interviews, songs, recaps and more<\/strong><\/a>\ud83d\udd7a\ud83c\udffc\ud83d\udd7a\ud83c\udffc<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n In the first round on competition on Tuesday night, each of the remaining seven couples will showcase a new style to a song inspired by an iconic freestyle performance from past seasons.<\/p>\n Later in the evening, the Relay Dance competition returns. In this challenge, one couple performs the first half of a song, followed by a second couple who completes the second half. The judges then decide the winner of each relay, with the victorious couples of each relay earning two bonus points apiece. Last week, with the highest total scores for the season, Whitney Leavitt<\/strong> and Mark Ballas<\/strong> received immunity and will not have to participate in the relay dances. They will automatically receive two bonus points as part of their immunity.<\/p>\n The relay round adds an exciting twist for 2025: 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 Robert Irwin, Witney CarsonDisney/Eric McCandless<\/p>\n Related:\u00a0<\/strong>\u2018Dancing with the Stars\u2019 Reveals the Theme Nights for Season 34<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Social media personality Alix Earle<\/strong> and partner Val Chmerkovskiy<\/strong> will perform a Foxtrot to \u201cSingin\u2019 in the Rain\u201d by Matthew Morrison<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin<\/strong> and partner Witney Carson will perform a Foxtrot to \u201cFootprints in the Sand\u201d by Leona Lewis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n From The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Whitney Leavitt<\/strong> and partner Mark Ballas <\/strong>will perform an Argentine Tango to \u201cCell Block Tango\u201d from Chicago The Musical.<\/p>\n Reality TV star and content creator Dylan Efron<\/strong> and partner Daniella Karagach<\/strong> will perform an Argentine Tango to \u201cAin\u2019t No Sunshine\u201d by Bill Withers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Related: Who Went Home on Dancing with the Stars Last Night?
