In a bid to be the new Baby and Johnny from the 1960s cult-favorite film 'The Dirty Dancing', eight brave celebrities signed up for FOX's special-themed dance competition. The eight celebrities had little to no background experience of dancing, but that didn't stop them from trying their very best to recreate the signature dance moves of Baby and Johnny.

Following the elimination of talk show host Loni Love and former Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough during the last week's episode, the competition amongst the remaining six celebrities was at a cut-throat level. The celebrities paired up into three pairs featuring Tyler Cameron and Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, Cat Cora and Corbin Bleu, and Brie Bella and Antonio Gates. All the three pairs practiced really hard for their semi-finals performance in order to earn a spot to compete in the finale and hopefully take home the coveted title. Despite their best efforts, unfortunately, Brie and Antonio were eliminated from the competition
