LOS ANGELES — ‘Dancing with the Stars’ celebrated its 500th episode on Tuesday evening. The glitz and glamor in the ballroom started in 2005 and is now having its strongest season yet.

The remaining six couples each competed twice in this round: the first time they did their own interpretation of a memorable dance from the past.

Actress Chandler Kinney and her partner Brandon Armstrong earned the first perfect score of the season for their Argentine tango. When it was time for the second round, the “instant dance,” Kinney and Armstrong earned a second set of perfect scores.

So what was this “instant dance?” Each star had to blindly draw a dance style and then was given the song to perform in front of the judges and fans. They had only five minutes to get dressed, listen to the song and prepare a routine.

Ultimately, the judges’ combined scores and viewers’ online voting eliminated basketball stars Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach.

“I had a great experience,” Howard said.

Karagach added: “A lot of people said we couldn’t do it, and we did it. And for me, that’s a victory.”

The five couples who will reach the semi-finals next week in the quest for the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy: Danny Amendola and Witney Carson; Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson; Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten; Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong; and Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold.

“Dancing with the Stars” airs Tuesday on ABC and Disney+.
