DWTS returns Tuesday with yacht-rock themed dances as the field narrows
Season 35 of Dancing with the Stars resumes on Tuesday, featuring a yacht-rock music theme and 13 remaining couples after Giulia De Laurentiis and Alan Bersten’s exit.
Dancing with the Stars returns for its 35th season on Tuesday night, presenting a yacht-rock themed episode that will test the 13 remaining couples on a range of ballroom styles, from cha-cha to foxtrot. The panel of Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli will score the performances, which must capture the spirit of iconic yacht-rock hits. The latest eliminations saw Giulia De Laurentiis and her partner Alan Bersten fall after a 12-out-of-30 judges’ score during the prior “Viral Hits” night.
Prior weeks also removed Conner Leavitt, Sarah Jane Nader and two other pairs, narrowing the competition to couples such as Jenna & Val, Ezra & Daniella, Amber & Pasha and others. The show airs at 8 p.m. ET on one outlet and streams on Disney+, with a next-day Hulu release. In related news, co-host Julianne Hough will appear on Broadway in a 2027 revival of Damn Yankees.
Why it matters
The episode marks a key stage in the popular dance competition, influencing which couples stay in the race for the Mirrorball Trophy.
