Dedication Night is coming to Dancing With the Stars, giving the celeb cast a chance to dedicate their song to someone (or something) important in their life. These routines are usually highly emotional, so be prepared to grab some tissues while you’re watching. As the official press release puts it, “The ballroom gets personal as the 10 remaining couples take to the dance floor to deliver heartfelt performances honoring the influential people and places that have shaped their lives.”
There will also be a performance dedicated to Dolly Parton set to “Here You Come Again,” so all in all, an unmissable evening.
Of course, there’s been a little drama leading up to the episode, given Val Chmerkovskiy’s one-week suspension following his social media post targeting Carrie Ann Inaba. Now that he’s been replaced by Alan Bersten, here is everyone you can expect to see tomorrow night (including all the special guests!).
