DANCING WITH THE STARS Comes to New York City  Image

The 12 remaining couples take a bite out of the Big Apple and dance to iconic songs from the city that never sleeps, as New York City Night comes to "Dancing with the Stars," live, MONDAY, OCT. 1 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.

The night begins with a dazzling opening number featuring the "Dancing with the Stars" pros and New York City Ballet principal dancer Tiler Peck dancing to the iconic song "On Broadway," choreographed by the show's own Emmy®-winning Mandy Moore. Also, Sarah Bockel, who is currently starring in the National Tour of the Tony® and GRAMMY® Award-winning musical "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" as Carole King, will perform live in the ballroom alongside Mary Lou and Sasha.

Each couple will dance to a style they have not yet danced to, performing an Argentine tango, foxtrot, cha cha, samba, Charleston, quickstep or waltz, vying for America's vote. There will not be an elimination at the end of the night, but the judges' scores and viewer votes from New York City Night will factor into the elimination of one couple on Tuesday's show.

Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten - Argentine Tango - "Swan Lake" by Ray Chew Live

Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess - Foxtrot - "Theme from New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra
