‘Dancing with the Stars’ spoilers: Dance styles and songs for ‘Oscars Night’
“Dancing with the Stars” continues season 33 tonight with an ode to classic cinema on “Oscars Night.” So what can we expect from the event? Well, the evening will begin with an opening number choreographed by professional dancers Britt Stewart and Alan Bersten to “Hooray For Hollywood” by Richard A. Whiting, Boston Pops Orchestra, and John Williams. Then the 13 celebrity contestants and their pro partners will dance the following routines before the night ends in a dreaded double elimination.
— Super Bowl Champion Danny Amendola and pro Witney Carson will perform a Jive to “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins.
— Fashionista and entrepreneur Anna Delvey and pro Ezra Sosa will perform a Quickstep to “Suddenly I See” by KT Tunstall.
— “The Bachelor” Joey Graziadei and pro Jenna Johnson will perform a Rumba to “Shallow” by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.
— NBA Champion Dwight Howard and pro Daniella Karagach will perform a Foxtrot to “City Of Stars” by Ryan Gosling.
— TV star Chandler Kinney and pro Brandon Armstrong will perform a Rumba to “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish.
— Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher and pro Alan Bersten will perform a Salsa to “(I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life” by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.
— Model and cover girl Brooks Nader and pro Gleb Savchenko will perform a Quickstep to “9 to 5” by Dolly Parton.
— Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik and pro Rylee Arnold will perform a Paso Doble to “Superman – Main Theme” by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
— Reality royalty Phaedra Parks and pro Val Chmerkovskiy will perform a Foxtrot to “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” by Jennifer Hudson.
— Movie star Eric Roberts and pro Britt Stewart will perform a Waltz to “The Godfather Waltz” by Nino Rota and Carlo Savina.
— TV icon Tori Spelling and pro Pasha Pashkov will perform a Rumba to “This Is Me” by Keala Settle and “The Greatest Showman” ensemble.
— “The Bachelorette” Jenn Tran and pro Sasha Farber will perform a Tango to “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)” by Fergie, Q-Tip, and GoonRock.
— Sitcom and movie actor Reginald VelJohnson and pro Emma Slater will perform a Paso Doble to “Ode To Joy” by Beethoven.
Since there was no elimination in the first week of competition, the judges’ scores and viewer votes from week one will be combined with the scores and votes from week two to determine who stays in the competition and who goes. That means, for instance, that Roberts and VelJohnson have their work cut out for them after landing at the bottom of the week one leaderboard, while Kinney and Howard have a bit of a buffer after getting the top scores in week one. But of course we’ve seen some of the best dancers go home early if they don’t generate support from “DWTS” fans watching at home. So no one is truly safe. Which routines are you most looking forward to?
