And it is Derek that is responsible for Michael’s participation at DWTS. “When I met him, I literally was like, ‘Dude, thank you for your music. Because as ballroom dancers, you are our savior. We’re like, ‘We need to find some music. Well, what’s Bublé got?’ And he’s like, ‘Oh, a winner. That’s phenomenal,’” Derek told Parade. “So, you already know that that tonight every single song is going to be incredible. He’s going to be a guest judge, but I’ll be wondering if he’s going to be judging the dancing or whoever is singing his song. It could be like, ‘Ugh or, you sing that better than I did, or that was, yeah.’” In addition to the performances by the 10 celebrity couples, the evening will kick off with an electrifying opening number to “Sway” performed live by Michael Bublé and featuring our female pros choreographed by Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy, who is otherwise sitting out the season as she is expecting her first baby – a boy – with hubby Val Chmerkovskiy. Then Derek will also take to the ballroom floor for a special performance to “Higher” with his fiancée Hayley Erbert and the pro dancers. “I’m excited about it,” Derek continued. “I’m choreographing a big piece. What’s really exciting about this, too, is not only because Michael is going to be performing, but also, it’s a performance with all the pros. In rehearsal, when we’re sitting there dancing, I was like, ‘Wait a minute guys. We haven’t danced together in over six years,’ so it’s wild. It’s cool. We haven’t done this in a long time, so it was really special. It’s a really great piece, very big, very bold, very ambitious.”
