SPOILER ALERT! This article contains details from season 35 Dancing with the stars quarter-finals.
It’s hard to believe Dancing with the stars Season 35 is almost over, but we have officially reached the quarterfinals.
There are seven couples remaining, but only five can make it to the finale later this month. One couple faces elimination on Grammy night, where the contestants will perform to some of the biggest musical hits from artists including Evanescence, Sisqó, Beyoncé, Janet Jackson and more.
For the second week in a row, couples perform a second dance on Tuesday evening. This week, they compete in the dance off, which pits two couples directly against each other to live accompaniment. The pairs are as follows: Amber vs. Ezra, Jenna vs. Tatyana, and Connor vs. Maura.
After winning immunity with the highest cumulative score to date last week, Harry and Jenna will not be participating in the dance. Sheryl Crow, Brandy and Monica and Maren Morris will join the stage to perform some of their hit songs during the head-to-head competition.
Let’s go.
INDIVIDUAL DANCES
Paralympic athlete Ezra Frech with Daniella Karagach. These two were in a state of flow last week, and after getting a 10 from Derek for their performance at Disney Night, they launch into an Argentinian tango to Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love (Remix)” for Grammy Night. SCORE: 27 of 30
Olympian Amber Glenn with Pasha Pashkov. As if she hasn’t already, Amber says she really wants to show her inner athlete in the ballroom this week with a paso doble to Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life.” SCORE: 28 out of 30
Reality TV star Maura Higgins with Mark Ballas. After narrowly escaping elimination last week, Maura focuses entirely on an Argentine tango to Sisqó’s “Thong Song.” She suffers from rib pain, which proves to be a challenge in rehearsals, but she puts the pain aside and delivers a performance that Carrie Ann calls “a work of art.” SCORE: 27 of 30
Actress Jenna Dewan with Val Chmerkovskiy. She got a perfect score last week, so Jenna is on track and ready to take on a jazz routine to Janet Jackson’s “All For You.” She’s already performed at the Grammys, so she also has to make her case by walking the floor Tuesday night. SCORE:
Actress Tatiana Ali with Jan Ravnik. This Fresh Prince The star has been friends with Will.I.Am for over two decades, so she does justice to a tango to the Black Eyed Peas’ “Boom Boom Pow.” She must master the clarity of this choreography to impress the judges. SCORE:
Comedian and podcaster Connor Wood with Rylee Arnold. Based on the judges’ comments last week, he needs to step up if he wants to impress them tonight with an Argentinian tango to Justin Timberlake’s “SexyBack” featuring Timbaland. Now if only he could stay on his axis, as Carrie Ann points out. SCORE: 27 of 30
Actor Harry Shum Jr. with Jenna Johnson. Harry says he’s avoided doing salsa for so long because it reminds him of a difficult time in his childhood, so dancing a salsa to “Die with A Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars brings up a lot of emotions for him. SCORE: 29 of 30
