Final Four Compete ‘Dancing with the Stars” latest Update Semifinals
It’s down to the final four. In a semi-final twist the remaining teams will chose their latin and ballroom dances from a hat - drawn at random - Increasing the level of difficulty for the Dancers. Also, no lifts will be allowed. Wouldn’t it be fun if the dancers got their dances just before they hit the stage?
Each pair will dance two dances.
