Dancing with the Stars returns for Season 17 and shakes things up by transitioning to a one night, two-hour format. Combining the best elements of the show every Monday, Dancing with the Stars will continue to feature competitive dance, dynamic group performances and musical guests, all while climaxing to a dramatic elimination. Each week viewers vote for their favorite dancing performance. Each couple will be eliminated at the end of each episode by combining the judges scores of that night, along with the public votes from the previous week, which will determine who gets eliminated every Monday night.
