Recap: Dancing with the Stars Celebrates Halloween
Last night it was all treats and no tricks on the seventh week of the 2019 season of “Dancing with the Stars”. We watched with ghoulish delight as eight celebrity and pro-dancer couples return to the ballroom to celebrate Halloween. If you missed last nights haunting performance you can catch up on ABC.com, the ABC app and Hulu.
The show started with a spooky Halloween opening number set to “Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish and “Come Along” by Cosmo Sheldrake. Choreographed by Michael Rooney, the celebrities and pro dancers took the audience on a journey from the graveyard to the ballroom, ending with an epic zombie dance number. Later, after a round of individual competitive performances, there was an additional round of two Halloween team dances. Each team (Team Trick with James, Ally, Lauren & Hannah and Team Treat with Karamo, Kel, Sean & Kate) of four celebrities and their pro partners competed for more judges’ points, which were added in as part of the final scores of the evening.
Vying for America’s vote, each couple danced to a variety of songs including Halloween classics “Time Warp” and “Monster Mash” as well as Donna Summer’s “Bad Girls,” Chris Issak’s “Wicked Game,” Annie Lennox’s “I Put a Spell on You,” and Ava Max’s “Sweet but Psycho,” among others.
This week, the live vote was combined with the judges’ scores and tabulated in real time, with the bottom two revealed during the broadcast. The live votes occur each week only during the live broadcast in the EDT/CDT time zones (but fans in all U.S. time zones may vote within that window). And for the first time in “Dancing” history, judges will decide which celebrity up for elimination stays in the competition and which celebrity’s journey comes to an end.
The remaining couples include the following:
- Lauren Alaina and Gleb Savchenko
- Ally Brooke and Sasha Farber
- Hannah Brown and Alan Bersten
- Kate Flannery and Pasha Pashkov
- Kel Mitchell and Witney Carson
- Sean Spicer and Lindsay Arnold
- James Van Der Beek and Emma Slater
