Put on your dancing shoes because the premiere of “Dancing With the Stars” is almost here! ABC has released a synopsis for the first episode of Season 21, and it looks like the reality show will make a bigger splash than ever with chart-topping songs and record-breaking routines.

The two-night premiere will begin “with the biggest number in 'DWTS; history shot on Hollywood Boulevard,” the synopsis teases. After the big opening, the competitors will compete with a variety of dances in the two-hour episode. They’ll perform the cha-cha, foxtrot, salsa, quickstep or jive to win audience votes. Because it’s the first week, no one will be eliminated. Check out the pairings and what songs they’ll be dancing to below:

  • Alek Skarlatos and Lindsay Arnold – “Ten Feet Tall” by Afrojack featuring Wrabel

On Tuesday, the premiere continues with another two-hour episode. The judges and fans will have a chance to watch Monday night’s dances again, but this isn’t just a rerun. The second part of the premiere promises to be “packed with never before seen footage from the night before, extended training packages, exclusive interviews with the couples, and a glimpse of what’s to come on week 2 of ‘Dancing With the Stars,’” according to the synopsis.
