Dancing With the Stars Pauses for Election Night

The popular dance competition show will resume next week with its milestone 500th episode.

Dancing With the Stars is not airing on November 5 due to the 2024 presidential election coverage.
The show will return on November 12 with its 500th episode, featuring special performances and challenges.
Hosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro announced the break during last week's episode.
Six celebrity couples remain in the competition, with performances inspired by iconic dances from past seasons.
