Featuring Two Rounds of Competition Including the Toughest Challenge This Season: Instant Dances

"500th Episode" - After 21 Emmys, 51 pros, 394 Stars, 32 winners and thousands of iconic performances, "Dancing with the Stars" celebrates the milestone 500th episode for a night full of dazzling moves and star-studded moments. "Dancing"'s "500th Episode" premieres TUESDAY, NOV. 12 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST/PST, 7:00-9:01 p.m. CST), simulcasting LIVE across both ABC and Disney+ in local time zones and next day on Hulu.

The night kicks off with an electrifying opening number, choreographed by Pasha Pashkov and Daniella Karagach. And as a thrilling nod to the past, our dancers will perform to "Crazy In Love" by Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z, showcasing the very same song that opened the first episode of "Dancing with the Stars" in season one. Plus, get ready for the dazzling return of some fan-favorite faces to the ballroom.

Partner dances include Contemporary, Quickstep, Argentine Tango and Viennese Waltz. In celebration of countless iconic performances from the past 32 seasons, each couple will pay tribute to past memorable dances while adding their own unique reinterpretation and flair for season 33. In a second round, the couples will tackle the ultimate test, an "Instant Dance Challenge." They won't know the dance style or the song until approximately five minutes before performing it LIVE!

Fans will be able to vote during the live simulcast of the show in the ET/CT 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 on participating U.S. wireless carriers can also vote via SMS/text (fans in Canada cannot vote via SMS/text). Live viewer votes from the night will be combined with the judges' scores to determine who may be in jeopardy of elimination.

The couples (along with their first-round dance styles and songs) are the following:

· Super Bowl Champion Danny Amendola and pro Witney Carson will perform a Quickstep, inspired by Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough's performance in season five, to "Hey Pachuco" by Royal Crown Revue.
