‘DWTS’ ’90s Night will feature a double elimination 

Last week, the judges sent American Idol star Jordin Sparks home after choosing to save Heidi D’Amelio from elimination. Next week, two stars will get sent home at the end of ’90s Night. This will determine who makes it into the semi-finals of the season 31 competition. 

Boys II Men, Aqua, and Spice Girls songs will be part of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ ’90s Night 

Next Monday’s episode of Dancing with the Stars will celebrate the music of the 1990s. The pros will perform an opening number to Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue’s “Whatta Man” choreographed by Mandy Moore (via What’s On Disney Plus). Vanilla Ice and Kid’ N Play will also perform during the episode. 

At this point in the competition, eight celebrities remain. Here’s what songs and dance styles they’ll be performing during ’90s night:
