'Dancing With the Stars' 2014: Six teams to battle in this week's America's Choice - Week 9

Last week in "Dancing With the Stars" season 19, the theme for the routines was called "Dynamic Duos." Leading the scores were Janel and Val, while the lowest-scoring pair was Michael and Emma. It was also the first round of dance-offs.

The competition is entering week 9 this Monday, and this week, viewers had the say on what they're going to see.  The Nov. 10 episode of "DWTS" will feature America's Choice week, and the seven teams remaining will follow America's choice for their dance routines. In a nutshell, the dancing pairs will have to follow what song and dance style the viewers have chosen for them. The voting was done via social media.

According to IBT, here's what to expect in the individual couple rounds:

  • Tommy and Peta will do the Viennese waltz to "Trouble"
  • Bethany and Derek will also do the Viennese waltz to "Say You Love Me"
  • Sadie and Mark will do the jive to "1,2,3 Turnaround"
  • Janel and Val will do the quickstep to "Hey Boy! Hey Girl!"
  • Alfonso and Witney will foxtrot to "Ain't That a Kick in the Head"
  • Lea and Artem will do the samba to "Animals"

For the trio performance round, the couples will have a third dancer to join them.  The third of the trio is a pro dancer, too. In this round:

  • Tommy and Peta will dance jazz with Sharna
  • Bethany and Derek will do Argentine Tango with Tony Dovolani
  • Sadie and Mark will do the foxtrot with Emma Slater
  • Janel and Val will salsa with Keo Motsepe
  • Alfonso and Witney will dance paso doble with Lindsay Arnold
  • Lea and Artem will do the same dance with Henry

After week 9, only five teams will advance to the next round. Who will they be? Watch "Dancing With the Stars" season 19 on Monday, 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
