We know of one dance so far. Sharna and Bonner have a romantic dance for Week 2 and it’s the Viennese waltz. Stay tuned for more updates.
ETA: According to Peta’s Instagram, she and Nick have a Foxtrot.
ETA2: According to Chris’ instagram, he and Witney are doing Jive. Maks also implied on instagram that he and Heather are doing jive. Seems like a fair fight. :::rolls eyes:::

ETA5: DWTSGossip and one of her followers think they heard Artem say they were dancing first. Also, Heather will be dancing with Alan…as DWTSGossip pointed out, first time in the history of DWTS that two SYTYCD competitors are dancing together, competing against everyone else. 🙂

Peta posted on her Instagram that her and Nick have a Foxtrot this week.
Peta said in her instagram post her and Nick were doing foxtrot
Thanks Guys!
I heard it was girl groups vs boy groups week or something? Not sure though
Maks just tweeted that he cant wait to Jive with Heather..perhaps they have the Jive next week?
Is it true that next week’s theme is Girl Groups vs. Boy Bands? Because all that reminds me of is when last year’s X Factor UK did that exact same theme during the fifth week of live shows, and one of my favorites from that crop of finalists managed to escape elimination after a highly-praised performance of Twist and Shout. Now I really want a couple who hasn’t already done the Cha Cha to do a Cha Cha to that song.
Chris and Witney are doing the jive according to Chris’ instagram.
Chris and Witney are doing to jive according to Chris’s instagram video!
Will it be each guy will have a specific dance and a lady will have the same dance style?
I really like chris but I was hoping he would get foxtrot. I’m hoping that Nancy gets jive.
What is next week’s theme?
I’m excited for nicks foxtrot and what’s the theme for this week because I missed out what it was
According to Lindsay’s Hollywood Life blog, she and David have a cha cha next week
I thought the theme was Boy Bands & Girl Groups… but Simone & Sasha are dancing to “Burnin Up” by Jessie J so I guess it’s not afterall.
Well, if they are pitting one female celebrity against a male celebrity with the same dance, I’m sure Rashad and Simone will have the same style. I’m sure the show wants to highlight the competition between Sasha and Emma.
I’m thinking jive for Chris is likely to seal his elimination fate
@Linde I don’t think it will matter. I’d bet he’s going to be the first eliminated, and if that is in fact the case his fate is already sealed as all voting methods are now closed.
Thanks Gracie.
This is complete speculation, so I don’t mean to make this sound like this is a for sure thing, but Sasha’s Instagram about his creative meeting for this week featured him and the creative team coming by the door doing what looked to be quickstep. Perhaps he and Simone are doing quickstep.
Just Jared Jr listed all the dances and songs for next week. Simone and Sasha have cha cha
I feel like anyone who has a cha cha this week is one of the couples TPTB def want in he semi finals or finals. I don’t know if there is a correlation between 2nd week dance style and votes etc. , but I’m sure they’ll be emphasizing the voting part come Monday night.
Yes, Kelly, we know. We’re working on it. We’re having lives over here. 🙂
This is exciting! Seems like most everyone who had a ballroom dance last week has a latin dance this week and vice versa. We will have a decent picture of who the true contenders will be after this week.
Its the first theme less week-2 since season 16. Seems like the new producers hate the show & want it to flop. A theme less episode? What is this season 1? Common after 12 years a themeless episode will be boring af. Plus why so many Cha cha? TBH Rob Wade was so much better & knew how to make episodes exciting & entertaining with fun theme nights.
I for one love the idea there’s no themes. They are so childish. Just dance already.
I agree with Casanova. When there’s nonstop theme nights, it takes away from the excitement. I’d rather have a few great theme nights rather than the same so-so ones used over and over.
Lilian, I don’t think the show threw themes out the window all together. It’s just week 2. The show will survive this season without doing a theme week for one week. I’m sure they’ll be back in full swing next week.
I didn’t hate them all together, I just thought they were overdone to the point of X factor like nauseam.
Also, based on casting this season, I feel like this is a filler or tester season for ABC of some sorts…that or ABC just cut their budget and gave some to The View ?. I always notice the two (from a production standpoint) have a seesaw relationship with one another…or Im just looking way too into it.
Anyhoo, it is too early in the season to say as well. But, I do miss All Access esp. During the commercial breaks, Dominic Bowden, and Roberto Quinn’s social media team.
Sometimes you gotta sink your own ship occasionally to build it back up stronger than before…just so it lasts the test of time.
Not a bad song in the bunch so I’m glad about that but I would switch notmanis song and atrtems songs (just so artem had a more fun song). Saying that, I cannot wait for Lindsay and David, and oddly nick and sharna. That John legend song is amazing.
SOrry nick and peta*
There have been “no-theme” weeks in the first two weeks in past seasons – I hardly think it’s any indicator that the “new producers hate the show and want it to flop”, Lillian.
Like others, I am glad that there won’t be a theme this week. Sometimes it seems like they get carried away with the theme and the production, and then the dances and the contestants’ stories/personalities get lost in the hoopla. I’d prefer that we wait until later in the season to start in with that mess.
Gee, Lilian, hyperbole much?
I wish there were NO theme weeks ever – or at least only 2 or 3 per season. The producers have a tendency to push a bunch of crap into the dances to fit stupid themes.
Vin, I thought the same thing after listening to the songs! But, for the opposite reason. I’d rather see Normani and Val dance to Jess Glynne’s song.
But, I can see why TPTB may have kept Normani’s song for her rather than Nancy. It does seem more youthful.
It just hit me: hey ya could be a fun one if they chris and witney go the comedy route again lol. The “shake it like a Polaroid picture” part alone lol.
LOL Vin. I love that idea.
Take away the paso dobles and next week’s dances could’ve been week 1 had it been another season LOL I, personally, am thrilled it’s not a theme week!! Most themes are cheesy and off putting, like prom? UGH ? I can deal with Latin night and Disney night, maybe a decades week? That’s about it for me lol.
I am probably the minority but my favorite theme night is classical. Of course the word “classical” is used loosely but we got some outstanding music that isn’t always boring pulsating pop. Who can forget the pro Paso to Carmina Burana and Tenor Vittorio Grigolo! Or what about Jackie Evancho doing Ave Maria, while William and Cheryl did the Viennese Waltz? Or back to season 11 and the unplugged night where Jennifer and Derek did my all time favorite Comprasita complete with violins. It was so good they did it as an encore with an alternate opening, and an even better performance. Eh, those were the days….
@Casanova I completely agree! I think “classical” makes it less likely that we get a bunch of routines with 148 dancers and every single prop and set piece in Hollywood in them. I much prefer themes that don’t tend toward those sorts of routines because I find that those routines tend to lose the dance in the production.
I think they focus too much on theme nights. They limit themseves in terms of music that matches the theme, costuming, staging, etc. Two or three mid-season is good for me.
Not sure if it has been confirmed, but does anyone else know if there will be a Disney night this year? I mean I’m a big Disney fan, but I feel like it cant get any better.
@Trent – Yes, there is a Disney night again – pretty sure it was one of the theme nights Tom rattled off the other night. But I’m dubious about us seeing a ton of new stuff – seems like they’ve already started re-using songs.
If they’re looking for new songs to use for Disney night, I really hope they choose something from Moana. I liked the music in that movie a lot.
@m: wouldn’t be surprised if they use “how far I’ll go”.
I think for Disney Night Simone should get Moana theme Contemporary.
Is it just me or anybody else also thinks that we are almost done with everyone’s Chacha too early? Might be show’s strategy to make them do Chacha earlier and the harder one, Samba later on.
Also feel like there should have been one or two Rumbas. Still cant forget how Nastia blew me away with her Rumba week 2.
On theme nights: better to not have one on the week when celebrities show the improvement.
But I am looking forward to Disney, most memorable and switch up. And What I wouldn’t do to see another Semi Finals with Plugged/Unplugged theme!
You must be a relatively new viewer, Robbie. It used to be that half the cast did Cha Cha the first week, the other half the cast did it in week two. THAT way made sense because the Cha Cha is one of the easier dances. Rumbas were often saved for a few weeks in. Sambas were rarely or never done this early.
But that was back in the day before they really started screwing this show up.
I, for one, prefer to limit theme nights to a maximum of three in a season. And when there are theme nights, I hope the pros won’t rely too much on production that the dances suffer. I will, however, enjoy all the theme-less weeks while we still have them, but I do look forward to Disney night.
Thank you, mods, for all the updates.
Sharna mentioned the possibility of trying to get something from Peter Pan cleared, that would be new and different, but still classic Disney.
It did seem like they were scrambling to clear songs in S22 though if I remember correctly, so we did end up with some repeats. It’s a shame because there’s so much to choose from.
I really tried to remember the songs from Peter Pan besides “following the leader” and couldn’t and had to look but “never smile at a crocodile” could be a fun jazz routine.
I have to admit, I don’t mind occasional themes in moderation. They have been overkill recently, though.
Off topic but I hope someone does ‘You’re welcome’ for Disney Night.
The other songs in Peter Pan besides the two Vin mentioned are “You Can Fly!” and one they wouldn’t dare do today called “What Made the Red Man Red” (yeah….). If they do end up going with Peter Pan I think it’ll probably be “Second Star to the Right” (which wasn’t even in the movie). I hear Normani wants Princess and the Frog and Simone wants Moana. Those are all movies that haven’t been done for Disney Night yet so I hope the songs get cleared if that’s what they want to do! I’d also love to see songs from Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Monsters Inc., Pocahontas, Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Tangled. And I assume we’ll get a Beauty and the Beast number because of the new movie.
Nancy and Artem going firt? Ugh. That’s setting the bar so it will be lowballed even if good. Sad!
I know that the dancing order isn’t everything. I do find it interesting that Artem and Nancy are opening the show. Which makes me think that they got a good amount of votes last week to put them in that position and not a crappy spot like last week when they danced second.
@Kelly A – I think it’s a good sign – it’s definitely an improvement. Week 1 of last season, James & Sharna went 2nd…and then in week 2, they were 3rd from last 🙂
I can’t wait to see what choreo that Lindsay and Emma and Sasha come up with tonight!
I hope they save the best for last and Normani goes last. She’s just arrived from China and she needs to rest up she’s really tired and worn out she’s been doing concerts nonstop. She is probably hardest working contestant of the season. Hope she is taking a nap rn. Aww she so cute.Love you Mani bear. I can picture her sleeping on her trailer being adorable. Her work ethic is out of this world. They better get all 10s and 9s after doing her wrong last week and praise her. Go mani
I don’t think Normani is the hardest working contest this season. It’s only week two. She’s a performer afterall. Last minute stuff and performing comes natural to her. If anything the contestants with no experience that make it very far are by far the hardest working to me.
So pumped Rossy is going last. Lindsay always kills choreo and he is just so chill.
And source if you need it is George Pennacchio on Twitter.
I think having David dance last will be nice. If last week is any indication, he’ll end the night on a fun, upbeat note.
Also, I had to laugh at the way the dance order was listed in Pennacchio’s tweet. He listed it as “Nancy, Erika, Charo, Nick, Heather (w/ Alan), Bonner, Simone, Chris, Val, Rashad, Mr. T., David.” One of these things is not like the other…
As for Normani – boo fucking hoo. She chose this. And that doesn’t make her hardest working.
