VIDEO: Highlights from Last Night's DANCING WITH THE STARS

Monday's episode of ABC's DANCING WITH THE STARS began with an emotional moment as hosts Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke Charvet took time out to pay their respects to the victims of the Boston bombings. It was a tough night for the dancers to compete, but they all seemed to be inspired by the old adage, 'the show must go on.' Check out highlights from last night's show below!

The remaining couples were assigned to dance head to head against a professional couple. The evening saw the return of professional dancer Maskim Chmerkovskiy, who had been taking a break from the competition this season.
