Dancing with the Stars will feature a Team Dance Challenge for Country Week

The remaining Dancing with the Stars contestants are set to participate in a team dance challenge this Sunday during the show's Country Week special.

The celebrities and their pro dance partners will bring their best country-inspired routines to the dance floor, twirling and tapping to the tunes of country classics and contemporary hits.

In addition to their individual performances, each celebrity and their dance partner will be split into two teams of three for a dance challenge.

Each team will work together to create a show-stopping performance, combining their unique styles and strengths to impress the judges and audience alike.

Team Footloose will see Taekwondo athlete, Jack Woolley and his partner, Alex Vladimirov join forces with lip-syncing sensation Kayleigh Trappe and her partner Ervinas Merfeldas, alongside chef Kevin Dundon and his pro dancer Rebecca Scott.

The trio will dance to Kenny Loggins' 80’s country rock classic Footloose.

The DWTS judges L-R: Brian Redmond, Karen Byrne, Loraine Barry and Arthur Gourounlian

Team Timber will comprise of Olympic hero, Rhys McClenaghan and, his pro dancer, Laura Nolan teaming up with former Miss Universe Ireland, Aishah Akorede and her pro, Robert Rowiński. Completing the team is Mrs. Brown’s Boys actor Danny O’Carroll with his pro Salome Chachua.

They will get down to Pitbull and Kesha’s country pop anthem Timber.

Judges Loraine Barry, Brian Redmond, Arthur Gourounlian and Karen Byrne will be on hand to provide their expert critiques and scores. After the couples dance individually, each team will dance again to impress the judges with the aim to inflate their overall score.

The judges’ scores will be added to the public vote and the two couples with the lowest combined points will face-off in the dreaded dance off.

Who will lasso their way into the semi-finals, and who will be moseying on home? Tune in to find out!
