“Dancing with the Stars” Couples Performing Trio Dances Monday Night
Published at
ABC(LOS ANGELES) — Dancing with the Stars will welcome back some familiar faces Monday night, as the remaining couples prepare to perform a trio dance.
Each of the six couples picked an eliminated pro or troupe member for the trio dance, whose styles will include the paso doble, the samba and the foxtrot.
Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson and her partner, Mark Ballas, will dance with Emma Slater. Slater and her celebrity partner, Michael Waltrip, were eliminated from the competition last week.
Robertson is looking forward to strutting her stuff alongside another woman, telling ABC News Radio, “I think I’m going to learn a lot from it. I mean, of course I learn a lot from Mark, but it’s different having a girl there doing the same moves as me, and I think that it will challenge me to be better.”
Pretty Little Liars actress Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy will be joined by Keo Motsepe, who previously teamed with Lolo Jones. Chmerkovskiy jokes that Motsepe adds more diversity to the group: “This way we cover all the demographics: the South African, the Asian, and the Eastern European. We’re like the United Nations. The United Nations trio.”
Aside from the trio performance, each couple will also tackle a dance style voted on by the viewers.
Dancing with the Stars begins at 8 p.m. Eastern time on ABC. By the end of the night, one couple will be eliminated, while the other five will advance to the semifinals.
Here’s a rundown of the trio groups:
- Alfonso Ribeiro, Witney Carson and Lindsay Arnold
- Bethany Mota, Derek Hough and Tony Dovolani
- Janel Parrish, Valentin Chmerkovskiy and Keo Motsepe
- Lea Thompson, Artem Chigvintsev and Henry Byalikov
- Sadie Robertson, Mark Ballas and Emma Slater
