‘Dancing With the Stars’ Takes a Trip Down Memory Lane for ‘Most Memorable Year’ on Oct. 24

“Most Memorable Year” – The 10 remaining couples take a moment to reminisce as they perform dances inspired by a pivotal year that held great significance in their lives. “Most Memorable Year” airs TUESDAY, OCT. 24 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT/PDT, 7:00-9:01 p.m. CDT), simulcasting LIVE across both ABC and Disney+ in local time zones and next day on Hulu.

To celebrate the beloved former head judge Len Goodman, pro dancers from past seasons will return to the ballroom to join current pro dancers, alongside judge Derek Hough and co-host Julianne Hough, for a spectacular dance tribute set to the timeless melody “Moon River” by Henry Mancini. Returning pro dancers include Kym Johnson, Anna Trebunskaya, Karina Smirnoff, Edyta Sliwinska, Tony Dovolani, Louis van Amstel, Maks Chmerkovskiy and Mark Ballas. The honorary tribute will be choreographed by pros Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson from an original idea conceived by Derek Hough.

Fans will be able to vote during the live simulcast of the show in the EDT/CDT time zones. During this time, online voting will be available to fans in any time zone in the U.S., its territories and Canada via dwtsvote.abc.com, and fans with a participating U.S. wireless carrier can also vote via SMS/text (fans in Canada cannot vote via SMS/text). Live viewer votes will be combined with the judges’ scores each episode to determine which couples may be in jeopardy of elimination.
