After umpteen seasons, it's clear DANCING WITH THE STARS can't demand its contestants abandon their sexy schtick, the costumes, the puffery that all makes DANCING what it is. So when designated Classical Week comes around, interesting combinations arise. Only so many competition shows can ask its contestants to marry Mozart with an ass-shake. Alas, these two seemingly unrelated aspects of human culture must of course be manhandled by DANCING, and the audience gets Classical Week.
During Tuesday's DANCING WITH THE STAR results show, two more couples had to face the dreaded 'dance duel'. In the end, the judges decided to save Disney star Roshon Fegan and his partner Chelsie Hightower and send home music legend Gladys Knight and her partner Tristan Macmanus.

DANCING WITH THE STARS implemented new features into the competition to spice up another performance broadcast. For the first time in the show's history, contestants danced to the hits of Motown - while the original tracks' artists sang live.

In additions, contestants this week also partook in a dance-off to rack up extra bonus points to be put towards their overall score.

DANCING WITH THE STARS did away with the ball gowns, the glitz, and laid on the edge with leather costumes and daring make-up for designated 'Rock Week.' Featuring a performance by the titans of theatrics, Kiss, this week's performance show laid out the theme right from host Tom Bergeron's opening monologue. The typical DANCING broadcast this was not.

Going into the third week of ABC's DANCING WITH THE STARS after the elimination of tennis pro Martina Navratilova, the remaining contestants were given a unique assignment: rather than choose between one form of dance or another, they and their partners were opened up to any style. The catch: to center it around a personal EVENT, in order to open themselves up to the audience and viewers at home. Previously, it was known to create memorable routines that revealed the competitors as individuals, people - rather than celebrities and pseudo-celebrities vying for a nationally televised prize. The judges, were once again, overly gracious with their compliments, the critiques dulled.

The two-hour premiere of Dancing with the Stars showcased this season rag-tag group of actors, musicians, and TV personalities turned dancers - to the sound of an extremely generous panel of judges. To what judge Len Goodman called "the best first show of any season," the harshest of criticisms came in the form of, essentially, pats on the heads.
