Tomorrow is the results show (starting at 9pm).  This year there will be a "pro dance troupe of six world renowned performers" appearing throughout the season.  They will dance with the competing professionals for their first performance and then perform on their own.

Here are the bios of the pro dance troupe (from the ABC press release):

  • Oksana Dmyrenko is a premiere performer in Ballroom and Latin dance around the world. Having studied in her home of Ukraine and around the world, she won the 2010 International World Masters Championship, placed 2nd in the 2009 U.S. National Championships, and was recently among the Top 30 of 500 of the world's best couples in the prestigious Blackpool Dance Festival.
  • Tristan MacMahon began dancing in his home of Dublin, Ireland before moving on to compete around Europe, eventually winning numerous Juvenile, Junior and Amateur competitions. After appearing in "Ella Enchanted," he performed in theatre productions throughout Europe, including Bryan Flynn's production of "Oliver!" and "Aladdin," among others. He joined the U.K. tour of "Simply Ballroom" and, after a successful tour in London and Las Vegas, toured as a featured dancer with several successful shows in the U.S. After numerous world tours and a year teaching Ballroom and Latin dancing in the U.S., he returned to Europe to join the cast of "Dirty Dancing" as Dance Captain. He then went on to do a second stint on The West End stage in London.

After achieving her lifelong goal of dancing on Broadway, she moved to the U.S. to pursue a career in film and television in Los Angeles.

Along with his dance partners, he has represented the U.S. at the World Championships three times, and competed in Europe and Asia. Kiki danced at Junior Blackpool three times, placing 29th out of more than 400 couples. He is noted as one of the Top Under 21 Latin dancers in the U.S. and is a National Amateur Finalist.
  • Nicole Volynets began Ballroom training at age 14 with coach Maksim Chmerkovskiy. With her brother Ted by her side, Nicole has traveled the world in competition, placing as a top three national finalist for seven consecutive years and in the top eight at the 2007 U.S. National DanceSport Challenge. She performed at The Wynn, Las Vegas and in Macau, China for the opening of The Wynn - Macau.
  • Ted Volynets began Ballroom dancing at age 11, following in older sister Nicole's footsteps. While training with coaches Maksim and Val Chmerkovkiy, he has traveled the world representing his country, placing Top 15 at the National DanceSport Championships 2010.
