Together, these partners practice for ten weeks to choreograph an electrifying ballroom dance routine. This year, the culmination of their work will be showcased on April 22, 2017, when they take to the stage and perform their routine in front of three judges and a lively crowd at the Dancing with the Doctor’s Gala! The combined scores of the judges and crowd will determine who gets to take home the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy at the end of the night!
