DWTS Celebrates 20 Years with Freestyle Remixes and Relay Dance Twist
11 Nov
Summary
- DWTS season 34, episode 9 features a 20th anniversary celebration
- Contestants will reinterpret iconic freestyle performances from past seasons
- Relay dance competition pairs celebrities with returning DWTS champions
On November 11, 2025, Dancing with the Stars is set to celebrate its 20th anniversary with a special episode in the show's 34th season. The remaining seven contestants will compete by reinterpreting iconic freestyle performances from previous seasons, honoring the milestone.
Later in the night, the episode will also feature the return of the "Relay Dance" competition, which will see the celebrities paired with returning DWTS champions like Rumer Willis and Apolo Anton Ohno, rather than their regular professional partners. The relay will include performances of the quickstep, jive, and Viennese waltz.
The celebratory episode will feature a special guest judge, former DWTS host Tom Bergeron. Performances will be set to songs like "Cell Block Tango," "Singin' in the Rain," and "Get Up" by Ciara and Chamillionaire. The opening number, choreographed by Derek Hough, will be a remix of the DWTS theme.
However, the ongoing dispute between YouTube TV and Disney may still pose a challenge for some viewers looking to watch the anniversary episode live. While DWTS airs on both ABC and Disney+, YouTube TV subscribers may need to explore alternative options like Hulu, fuboTV, or Sling TV to access the show.
