OUR SIX REMAINING COUPLES PERFORM TWO DANCES, HOPING TO STEER CLEAR OF THIS WEEK'S DOUBLE ELIMINATION, ON ABC'S "DANCING WITH THE STARS"

Grammy Award Winner Chris Brown Performs His Hit Single, "Turn Up the Music"

"Macy's Stars of Dance" is a Tribute to the Late Dick Clark And His Show Which Changed Dance in America

"Episode 1408 & 1408A" - The competition heats up as the remaining six couples hit the ballroom with two rounds of competitive dance performances, a ballroom dance and the Trio dance -- both of which will be a style that they've not yet performed, MONDAY, MAY 7 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on ABC. During the Trio dance, a "DWTS" first, each couple will be allowed to add an extra professional dancer to their routine. The second dancer will be chosen from a pool of eliminated pros and members of The Troupe. In addition to their regular criteria for judging dance routines, the judges will pay extra attention to how well each celebrity is showcased in the performance with an extra dancer in the mix.

Grammy Award winner Chris Brown takes to the stage with an incredible performance of his hit song "Turn Up the Music," on "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show," TUESDAY, MAY 8 (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on ABC. "Turn Up the Music," written and produced by The Underdogs and Fuego, is Brown's first single off his eagerly anticipated new album, "Fortune," which releases May 8th.

Also during Tuesday night's show, Dmitry Chaplin and Anya Garnis will perform a special routine from the "Dancing with the Stars Live in Las Vegas Show" to "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" "Macy's Stars of Dance" will be an "American Bandstand" tribute to the legendary Dick Clark. The performance will be a huge dance number featuring pro dancers Karina Smirnoff, Tony Dovolani and the Troupe, choreographed by Jamal Sims and Wendy Johnson, and will pay homage to "American Bandstand," representing four decades of the popular music show, with many of the original "Bandstand" regulars joining us in the audience.

By Tuesday evening's end, two couples will be eliminated, as determined by a combination of the judges' scores and viewers' votes on dances performed on Monday's performance show. Who among the six couples will be the next to leave the ballroom?
