Dancing with the Stars Celebrates 500th Episode with Dazzling Performances

The milestone episode featured a mix of nostalgic routines and new challenges, culminating in the elimination of Dwight Howard.

The 500th episode of Dancing with the Stars was marked by a special opening number featuring Beyoncé’s 'Crazy in Love,' a nod to the show's debut in 2005.
Six remaining couples performed routines inspired by iconic past performances, showcasing styles like Contemporary, Quickstep, and Argentine Tango.
Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong achieved the first perfect scores of the season, excelling in both their Argentine Tango and Instant Dance Challenge.
The Instant Dance Challenge required couples to perform routines with minimal preparation, adding an extra layer of difficulty to the evening.
Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach were eliminated after receiving the lowest combined scores and viewer votes, ending their journey just before the semi-finals.
