On Monday, November 22, 2021 from 8-10pm ET/PT, ABC premiered the Season 30 finale of DANCING WITH THE STARS, as this season's remaining four couples will dance and compete in their final two rounds of dances in the live season finale where one will win the coveted Mirrorball Trophy. All 15 of the show's Season 30 celebrities return to the ballroom to dance an opening number all together, performing to the hit song "Dynamite" by BTS, and choreographed by Tessandra Chavez. Season 30 pro dancers come together to perform a dance to "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard.
