The semi-final episode of Dancing With the Stars season 34 delivered excitement, strong performances and an unexpected goodbye as the remaining couples honored the legendary musician Prince. Each duo performed two dances: one ballroom style they had already learned earlier in the season, and a new style they had not tried before. Both routines were set to Prince’s iconic music, creating a special night filled with emotional and high-energy performances.
