Bersten, who had been eliminated earlier in the season, will join Dewan for a Viennese waltz to the Righteous Brothers’ “Unchained Melody.” Dewan is dedicating the performance to her mother, Nancy. The routine was already planned before the partnership change, leaving the dancers to prepare together ahead of Tuesday’s broadcast. In a subsequent update, Dewan and Bersten expressed enthusiasm about the performance, keeping attention on their rehearsals and the meaning behind the dedication.

For now, the announced consequence is Chmerkovskiy’s absence from one episode, while Dewan continues with a temporary partner. His apology and the production company’s response have established their respective positions without determining how every viewer will interpret the exchange. Dedication Night will give the remaining couples an opportunity to honor important people in their lives. Chmerkovskiy has said he will watch and support them as the competition continues.
