The seven remaining teams on Dancing with the Stars season 32 will take to the ballroom floor this week as they perform to the hit songs of music legend and Grammy-winning artist Whitney Houston.
“The estate of Whitney E. Houston and her family are honored that Dancing with the Stars is dedicating an episode of her signature songs for the show,” said Pat Houston, executor of the estate of Whitney E. Houston. “Whitney was a fan of Dancing with the Stars, and she would be proud of this recognition.”
But first, the night opens with an electrifying number to “How Will I Know,” choreographed by Ray Leeper.
Also, actor, singer and Whitney Houston superfan, Billy Porter will join Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli this week on DWTS as special guest judge.

But that’s just the first half of what’s happening. Whitney Houston Night marks the return of the “Dance-Off” in which two at a time, couples will face off against one another on the ballroom floor as they dance head-to-head in the same style. The winners of each of the three “Dance-Offs” will be selected by the judges, and the winning couple from each “Dance-Off” will receive three bonus points added to their judges’ totals for the night.
As Ariana and Pasha were at the top of the leaderboard after the first round of dancing last week, they have received immunity from the “Dance-Off” round and will not have to participate, automatically receiving three bonus points as part of their immunity. However, they are still eligible for elimination, along with the rest of the couples.
