All about ‘Dancing with the Stars’ finale
Dancing with the Stars Season 30 finale will not see only the finalists’ performances, but also performances from the eliminated contestants.
All 15 celebrities will return to the DWTS stage to showcase their final moves in an opening group number. They will perform to BTS’s Dynamite which will be choreographed by Emmy-winning choreographer Tessandra Chavez.
The professional dancers will also deliver a group performance to Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard.

It is unclear whether ballroom expert Derek Hough will join the Dancing with the Stars finale's panel or not, as he recently tested positive for COVID-19.
