THE SEVEN REMAINING CELEBRITY KIDS ARE EACH TASKED WITH CHOOSING THE SONG THEY WILL DANCE TO AS ‘JUNIORS CHOICE’ NIGHT COMES TO ABC’S ‘DANCING WITH THE STARS: JUNIORS,’ SUNDAY, NOV. 11

There Will Be an Elimination at the End of the Night, Based on Judges’ Scores and In-Studio Audience Votes

“Juniors Choice” – The seven remaining celebrity kids have each been tasked with choosing the song they will dance to as “Juniors Choice” night comes to “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors,” SUNDAY, NOV. 11 (8:00-9:00 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.

While some of the songs chosen were favorites of the celebrity kids, others held some kind of special meaning to them. Each couple will perform a Charleston, jazz, cha cha or samba. At the end of the night, there will be an elimination. The studio audience vote is combined with the judges’ scores to determine who goes home at the end of each episode.

Each couple will dance to the following songs (in alphabetical order):

Akash Vukoti and Kamri Peterson (mentored by Witney Carson) – Charleston – “Do Your Thing” by Basement Jaxx

Ariana Greenblatt and Artyon Celestine (mentored by Brandon Armstrong) – Jazz – “Rolex” by Ayo & Teo

Jason Maybaum and Elliana Walmsley (mentored by Emma Slater) – Jazz – “It’s Tricky” by RUN- DMC

Mandla Morris and Brightyn Brems (mentored by Cheryl Burke) – Cha Cha – “Perm” by Bruno Mars

Miles Brown and Rylee Arnold (mentored by Lindsay Arnold) – Jazz – “Space Jam” by Quad City DJ’s

Sky Brown and JT Church (mentored by Alan Bersten) – Samba – “The Greatest” by Sia

Hosted by “Dancing with the Stars” season 25’s Mirrorball Trophy winner Jordan Fisher and finalist Frankie Muniz, “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors” is a fresh take on an established favorite in which 12 celebrity kids are partnered with professional junior ballroom dancers to perform choreographed routines that are judged by Emmy® Award-winning choreographer Mandy Moore, professional dancer Val Chmerkovskiy, and “Dancing with the Stars: Athletes” champion, Adam Rippon.
