SIX COUPLES REMAIN AS THE COMPETITION HEATS UP FOR THE 'SEMI-FINALS,' AND EACH MUST PERFORM TWO NEW DANCES, ON ABC'S 'DANCING WITH THE STARS,' LIVE, MONDAY, NOV. 12

The First Dance Is a Dedicated Dance to a Meaningful Person in the Celebrity's Life

The Couples' Second Dance Will Be Judges' Choice to Help Determine Who Should Move on to Finale Night

"Semi-Finals" - The six remaining couples advance to the "Semi-Finals" as the competition heats up in anticipation of next week's crowning of the coveted Mirrorball trophy on "Dancing with the Stars," live on MONDAY, NOV. 12 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.

The couples have been rehearsing day and night preparing to perform two stunning numbers. First, each celebrity will perform a dance style not yet danced, dedicated to a meaningful person in their life. The second is a special Judges' Choice dance, where each couple will be challenged to perform a style of dance they previously danced, but this time with totally new music in this all-important Semi-Finals extravaganza. For the first dance, each couple will perform a waltz, salsa, contemporary or Argentine tango. For the Judges' Choice dance, each will perform a jive, foxtrot, quick step, salsa or cha cha. The Dedicated Dance scores will be combined with the Judges' Choice dance scores for a judges' final tally.

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