The dancer who wasn’t impressing the judges with his footwork has been eliminated and the stakes have been raised higher than ever on “Dancing With the Stars,” as the five remaining Season 28 teams head to the season’s semi-finals.

Following Sean Spicer’s ouster during Week 9, the field has suddenly been narrowed down to its toughest level of competition yet, with the five teams that are remaining all among the higher scorers throughout the season. With the stakes also raised due to it being the final two weeks of competition, all five will need to do whatever it takes if they want to not only make it to the finals but also win the Mirrorball trophy.

Now with only two performances, including a redemption dance, the only things standing in their way, the gloves are off and the dancing shoes are firmly on. Here’s the planned setlist that teams will follow as they try to stay in it to literally win it.

Songs:

According to a press release from ABC, among the 10 routines, the following songs will accompany some of the performances.

  • “Get Ready” by The Temptations
  • “Humble and Kind” by Tim McGraw
  • “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston
  • “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran
  • “Save the Best for Last” by Vanessa Williams
  • “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson
  • “Take Me To Church” by Hozier

Dance Styles:

  • Lauren Alaina and Gleb Savchenko, a.k.a #TeamTonkyHonk: For the redemption round, the country singer will try to improve upon the 19 she earned for a Paso Doble in week 2. Her new routine will be a Viennese Waltz.
  • Ally Brooke and Sasha Farber, a.k.a. #TeamTime2Shine: For the redemption round, the pop star will tackle her week 2 Viennese Waltz to a new song with the hopes of scoring better than a 20. She will also tackle a Charleston for the first time.
  • Hannah Brown and Alan Bersten, a.k.a. #TeamAlanbamaHannah: “The Bachelorette” will try to improve on the 21 points she got for her Rumba in week 3 for the redemption round. She will then dance her first Contemporary routine.
  • Kel Mitchell and Witney Carson, a.k.a. #TeamDanceWitKel: The actor and comedian will take on the Tango again after only earning 16 points on it during the first week of competition. He will also dance a Contemporary routine for his new dance.
