"Stars' Stories Week: Prom Night" - The two-night event continues with "Prom Night" featuring the 11 remaining couples performing dances to hits that bring them back to their high school proms.

The pro dancers and troupe will open "Stars' Stories Week: Prom Night" with a performance to "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" by ABBA. The evening will also feature the return of the Dance Marathon: all 11 couples will join the ballroom floor at the same time, first dancing a hustle and then a lindy hop. The judges will tap-out couples from the marathon, one at a time.

The couples will earn additional bonus points based on how long they remain in the Dance Marathon, and the last couple standing will be crowned Prom KING and Queen. Bonus points from the Dance Marathon will be added to the judges' scores from the first round of dance to determine a final combined leaderboard of the night.

This season, live online voting will be available in Canada. With each subsequent episode, the live viewer votes will be combined with the judges' scores to determine which couples may be in jeopardy of elimination.

"Dancing with the Stars" is the hit series hosted by supermodel and businesswoman Tyra Banks and actor and television personality Alfonso Ribeiro in which celebrities are paired with trained ballroom dancers to compete in themed choreographed dance routines that are judged by a panel of renowned ballroom experts, including Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough.
