The grand conclusion to Dancing with the Stars Season 34 has finally arrived, setting the stage for a night of breathtaking performances and fierce competition. The five finalist couples are ready to give their all to clinch the prestigious Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
The Final Five Couples and the Finale Format
The competition features a talented lineup of celebrities and their professional partners. The finalists battling for the ultimate prize are Robert Irwin with Witney Carson, Alix Earle with Val Chmerkovskiy, Jordan Chiles with Ezra Sosa, Dylan Efron with Daniella Karagach, and Elaine Hendrix with Alan Bersten.
Each couple will perform three times during the live finale, which began at 8 pm ET on Tuesday, November 25. Their journey to the finish line includes a Judges' choice dance, a challenging instant dance, and a show-stopping Freestyle performance.
A Test of Skill and Improvisation
While the Judges' Choice and Freestyle rounds allowed for meticulous preparation, the instant dance is designed to test the contestants' spontaneity and quick thinking. In this round, the couples discover their dance style and song just minutes before they must perform it live on stage.
Adding to the evening's spectacle, all the eliminated contestants from this season will return for special group performances. They will dance to popular tracks including Sugar on My Tongue by Tyler, The Creator, Applause by Lady Gaga, and I Don’t Dance by Alexander Jean.
How the Winner is Decided
The winner of the coveted Mirrorball Trophy will be determined by a combination of the judges' scores and live votes from the audience. Fans can vote during the live simulcast of the show, and these votes will be combined with the professional scores to crown the winning couple.
With the opening choreography already underway, the excitement is palpable. Stay tuned for all the latest updates as these five couples dance their hearts out for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
