“Dancing with the Stars” is gearing up for “Soul Train” night

LOS ANGELES – It's “Soul Train Night” on “Dancing with the Stars,” and the start of a two-day event where couples must become “dance machines” to ensure they stay in the game.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun,” said dancer Rylee Arnold.

The 11 remaining couples will let off steam with performances that may be worth watching on the legendary musical variety TV show “Soul Train.”

For Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik, it's a quick step to Stevie Wonder's “Superstition.” Although this style of music isn't necessarily his favorite, he said they “found something we really liked” with this song.

“Bachelor” star Joey Graziadei said he and his partner Jenna Johnson were having a lot of fun during their appearance.

“Shout” is a jive.

Reginald VelJohnson will dance the foxtrot to “I Can See Clearly Now,” where he said he plans to dance with his hands a little.

“I went to the salon and got my hands done to make it look right,” he said. His partner Emma Slater added: “So look for the sun!”

Supermodel Brooks Nada and her partner Gleb Savchenko want to create a great atmosphere with their appearance.

“The floor is lava,” Savchenko said. “We dance rumba to 'Sexual Healing'.”

As his celebrity partner put it, “My mom and dad can't see this!” Last week's leading scorer, Chandler Kinney, will perform a cha-cha to “It's Tricky.”

Her partner, Brandon Armstrong, loved this act and said he would introduce his partner in a new light and let her do the rest.

Olympian Ilona Maher learns to foxtrot to “Lady Marmalade.”

“We will see a graceful Ilona,” said her partner Alan Bersten.

“Maybe,” she said, laughing.

After this emotional evening full of performances, no one will be eliminated.

On Tuesday, elimination night, we will see the couples at “Hair Band Night” with guest judge Gene Simmons.

“Dancing with the Stars” airs Monday and Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. on ABC.
