"Dancing with the Stars" season 21 officially premieres Sept 14. The new batch of celebrities and their pro dance partners are ready to show off their moves in the ballroom. To start the year right, ABC recently announced the first songs the pairs will dance to to kick off the competition.
The first week will be chock-full of Cha-Cha routines as well as Foxtrots and Salsas and some Jives and Quicksteps. Buddy TV notes that the first three dances almost always show up in the first week of the show but the likes of the Jive and Quickstep definitely spice things up as these routines aren't the easiest. To see the celebrities perform such on their first night will be interesting.
Here are the songs the couples will dance to in their first "Dancing with the Stars" season 21 showdown:
- Alek Skarlatos & Lindsay Arnold – "Ten Feet Tall" by Afrojack ft. Wrabel

In addition, there will be a preview of Week 2, which will be composed of two nights with the couples performing a different routine for each one.
