The highly anticipated finale of "Dancing with the Stars" Season 34 is set to take place on Tuesday night. Five couples will compete for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy in a series of dance performances. The finalists include Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy, Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach, Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa, Elaine Hendrix and Alan Bersten, and Robert Irwin and Witney Carson.

Each couple will perform three routines during the finale. The first dance will be a Judges' Choice, where the couples will showcase a ballroom or Latin style selected by one of the judges. The second routine will be an "Instant Dance Challenge," testing their improvisational skills as they learn the dance style and song just moments before performing. Finally, the couples will present a freestyle dance, allowing them to express their creativity.

Fans will have the opportunity to vote during the live broadcast, which will air in the Eastern and Central time zones. Online voting will also be available for viewers across the U.S. The winners will be determined by a combination of live viewer votes and scores from the judges, which include Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli.

In addition to the competitive performances, all eliminated couples from Season 34 will return to the ballroom for special performances. They will dance to songs such as “Sugar on My Tongue” by Tyler, The Creator, “Applause” by Lady Gaga, and “I Don’t Dance” by Alexander Jean. Season 33 champions Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson will also perform a routine set to “Tanguera” by Fabio Hager Sexteto.

As the finale approaches, there are reports of challenges faced by some contestants. Witney Carson, Robert Irwin's partner, shared in a TikTok video that Robert has been dealing with rib pain. She mentioned, "You guys can get a better idea of what we’ve been dealing with all week on Tuesday," indicating that adjustments would be made for their performance. Despite the injury, she expressed gratitude for the season, stating, "This entire season just feels like the biggest gift."
