DANCING WITH THE STARS: PRE-SHOW Now Live on ABC.com

Derek Hough and Kellie Pickler freestyle-rap their elation over getting three nines, Sean Lowe discusses his "amazing" and "magical" time on the dance floor with...Tristan??, and Val Chmerkovskiy gets tough with dance partner Zendaya and big brother Maks Chmerkovskiy in an all new installment of ABC.com's "Dancing with the Stars: Pre-Show" web series.

Hosted by Marc Istook, this week's series features the multi-talented performer Charo, whose larger than life personality lights up the show from beginning to end. A pop culture icon known as much for her flamboyant Style as her signature dance moves and skillful guitar playing, Charo holds nothing back. In addition to offering her unique take on the show, she gives Istook and the guest panelists impromptu flamenco lessons. This week's panelists include Istook, Charo, Anna Trebunskaya, Lena Kosovich and Glamour.com's Jessica Radloff.

In a special behind-the-scenes segment, Radloff and field correspondent Jake Whetter spend some candid one-on-one time with eliminated contestant D.L. Hughley. A live acoustic performance by up-and-coming Boyce Avenue, accompanied by a Viennese Waltz performed by Max Sinitsa and Eulia Baranovsky, closes the show.

Presented by AT&T, "Dancing with the Stars: Pre-Show" is an original online video series designed to jumpstart the conversation on ABC.com using #DWTS. Each week fans can tune in as Istook ("The Bachelor: After Party") and Whetter (Radio Disney's "Celebrity Take With Jake") discuss the season's performances, go behind the scenes with the contestants, offer insight from pop culture experts and solicit demonstrations from ballroom dance experts.
