Dancing With the Stars Celebrates 500th Episode

Sharna Burgess is making a much-anticipated return to 'Dancing With the Stars' for its 500th episode, airing on November 12, after a two-season absence. Her comeback was confirmed through a humorous teaser clip shared on social media, where she is seen entering the ballroom. The milestone episode will feature tributes to notable moments in the show's history, including routines inspired by past performances and a special nod to the late judge Len Goodman. Viewers can expect a mix of emotional surprises and nostalgic routines as producers celebrate the show's 19-year legacy. While some former pros like Burgess will return, others, such as Cheryl Burke, opted out of attending despite receiving an invitation, citing commitment to her podcast. The episode signifies a celebration not only of the show's achievements but also of the dancers and judges who have shaped its journey.
