It’s Elvis Night in the ballroom!
The 15 remaining contestants will be boogying to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll when Dancing with the Stars returns with Elvis Night for the second week of the 31st season of the competition. The dance styles will include the Jive, the Quickstep, the Viennese Waltz, and the Rumba.
The evening will be split into three chronological acts, each exploring a different period of Elvis' career: from his early days in rock 'n' roll, through his Hollywood era on the big screen, and ending with his triumph in Vegas.
“I do know Elvis,” Jordin Sparks said. “I'm not like falling over backwards for Elvis, but I respect him. I respect his musicality. I respect the king and everything that he has done for music and I'm just going to attack.”

And Joseph Baena said, “Elvis was just so revolutionary in what he did. How they depicted him in the movie was fantastic. I'm just really appreciative of how he really stepped out of the boundaries and did what he wanted to do, even though his manager and everyone around him really didn't want him to speak out to break those boundaries. So that's why he's a big role model, rest in peace. One of my favorite songs is ‘Devil in Disguise,’ but we’re not dancing to that.”
But before the celebs take to the ballroom floor, the pros will kick off Elvis Night with a high-energy performance to “Also Sprach Zarathustra”/“Don’t Be Cruel” choreographed by Jemel McWilliams.
