After an inaugural “Disney100” night that was just too fun, the pairs are about to take a trip down memory lane as they reminisce on their “Most Memorable Year” (for better or for worse). Dancing to a smash hit from the time that the celebrities have deemed to be their “Most Memorable Year,” viewers will get to know this season’s contestants on a much deeper level after this extremely special episode, and we seriously cannot contain our excitement.

In fact, Dancing With The Stars has already taken to Instagram to tease some of the remaining contestant’s “Most Memorable Year,” as well as some adorable photos from rehearsal.

“2021: the year I traded a childhood dream for the opportunity of a lifetime,” Xochitl Gomez shared, likely referencing the year she secured her breakout role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

On the other hand, Ariana Madix of Vanderpump Rules shared, “2023: the year I thought I lost it all, but I really gained everything,” likely referring to “Scandoval,” the public breakup she had with longtime boyfriend Tom Sandoval after an affair came to light.

In addition to this, Barry Williams of The Brady Bunch will be celebrating 1968, Alyson Hannigan of How I Met Your Mother will be celebrating 2003, Grammy Award-winning artist Jason Mraz will be celebrating 1999, and more — it is sure to be an unforgettable evening!

To top it all off, the professional dance partners will be recognizing the “Most Memorable Year” in Dancing With The Stars history, paying tribute to former head judge Len Goodman who passed away in April of 2023. In a massive group number, judge Derek Hough and host Julianne Hough will pair up with the current pro dancers for an extremely special performance, choreographed by married couple Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson, but that’s not all…

Pro dancers from past seasons will also return to the ballroom for the tribute, including Kym Johnson, Anna Trebunskaya, Karina Smirnoff, Edyta Sliwinska, Tony Dovolani, Louis van Amstel, Maks Chmerkovskiy, and Mark Ballas — how sweet is that?
