The Dancing with the Stars ballroom is about to “Go Crazy” for the Semi-Finals.
Week 10 of the competition is Prince Night, a tribute to the late artist who gained acclaim in the 1980s for his iconic songs, such as “Purple Rain” and “Kiss.” Six couples remain in the competition — including stars Jordan Chiles, Robert Irwin, Whitney Leavitt, Alix Earle, Elaine Hendrix and Dylan Efron — who hope to make it past the Semi-Finals and earn their spot in the finale.
The night will kick off with an opening dance performed to Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy.” Then, each couple will perform two routines to some of the legendary musician’s hits, including one in a style they have yet to dance this season, and another in a repeat style that gives them a chance to show their improvement.
Here’s everything to know about Dancing with the Stars Prince Night, including the songs and dances each contestant will be performing.
Robert Irwin and Witney Carson
Wildlife conservationist Irwin and his partner Witney Carson will dance a jive to “Baby I’m a Star” and a Viennese waltz to “WOW.”
“Semi-finals… here we come. See you tonight on @dancingwiththestars,” Irwin wrote on Instagram just before Prince Night. “We are so grateful to be here ❤️.”
Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa
Olympic gymnast Chiles and her pro partner, Ezra Sosa, will dance a jive to “Raspberry Beret” and an Argentine tango to “U Got the Look.”
It’s a full circle moment for the gymnast, who performed a floor routine with UCLA gymnastics to one of Prince’s hit songs in January 2025.
Chiles and Sosa shared plenty of laughs in the rehearsal studio this week as they practiced their tricks for the Semi-Finals, per the show’s Instagram.
Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Leavitt and her pro partner, Mark Ballas, will perform a cha cha to “1999” and a Viennese waltz to “Slow Love.”
The pair were “hyping” each other up for the Semi-Finals in the studio, as Leavitt shared in a video clip on Instagram.
“Can’t express enough how grateful I am to be here 💜 the friendships and experiences I’ve had on this show have meant the absolute world to me and will cherish forever,” she captioned the post. “Can’t wait for you guys to see our cha cha and waltz tomorrow!”
Elaine Hendrix and Alan Bersten
Parent Trap actress Hendrix and her pro partner, Alan Bersten, will perform a foxtrot to “I Wanna Be Your Lover,” followed by a paso doble to “When Doves Cry.”
Per usual, the pair made plenty of silly TikToks in the studio ahead of the episode, and Bersten wrote on Instagram that he is “so proud” of Hendrix.
“Tomorrow is the semi finals!! I can’t believe it,” he captioned one of their videos. “Let’s do this!!”
Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy
Social media star Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy will perform an Argentine tango to “Little Red Corvette” followed by a Viennese waltz to “Purple Rain.”
The pair got emotional in the studio this week. Earle shared a video on Instagram having a “heart-to-heart” with her pro partner, telling him she “[doesn’t] wanna leave” with tears in her eyes.
“Semi finals mood. So grateful to be here THANK U so much to everyone who has voted to keep us on 🥺 tune in tonight to watch us :)))),” Earle captioned the video.
Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach
Traitors winner Efron and his partner Daniella Karagach will dance a tango to “I Would Die 4 U” and a cha cha to “Kiss.”
