The Final 6 Couples Face Off
After eight weeks of impressive competition, Week 9 of DWTS — the semi-finals — will determine which couples will advance to the final round. The six pairs will compete for just four spots in the final. Each couple will dance two dances: one ballroom dance style and one Latin style dance. The Latin dance must a style that the couple had not-yet performed in the competition.
For their first performance, Daniel and Britt will dance the Viennese Waltz to Jack Garrett’s uplifting song, Surprise Yourself. While they share similar romantic, graceful characteristics, the Viennese Waltz is typically danced at a much faster tempo.
Daniel and Britt will Light It Up with the Samba for the second dance to the hit by Major Lazer (ft. Nyla & Fuse ODG). A great contrast to the Viennese Waltz, the Samba is much more bouncy and showy. Look for turns, tricks, and hips!
A double elimination turns up the heat in Week 9. Be sure to vote during the live stream!The Songs
