Dancing with the Stars 2025: Season 34 Week 10 — Prince Night Semi-Finals Dance Styles and Song Choices
“Dancing with the Stars” turns the spotlight—and the stage—purple for Prince Night as Season 34 reaches its semi-finals. Each remaining duo will perform two routines inspired by the catalog of Prince: one routine in a style they have not yet attempted this season and a second routine in a style they previously performed, giving them an opportunity to show growth, versatility, and artistic range. The night features a high-energy opening number set to “Let’s Go Crazy” with choreography by Luam Keflezgy, setting the tone for an evening of bold musical tribute and competitive ballroom drama.
Prince Night (Semi-Finals) airs TUESDAY, NOV. 18 (8:00–10:07 p.m. EST/PST, 7:00–9:07 p.m. CST) and will be simulcast live across ABC and Disney+ in local time zones, with next-day availability on Hulu. The episode is produced in front of a live audience by BBC Studios.
