Although there may still be eight teams left on Dancing With The Stars 2024, we’re just days away from the season’s grand finale.

So, it goes without saying that the final two episodes are going to be carnage – and seven of the eight celebrities will have their dancing dreams dashed.

Here’s everything we know about the Dancing With The Stars 2024 grand finale.

The Dancing With The Stars 2024 grand final will air on Monday, August 12 at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.

What will happen during the DWTS semi-final?

The semi-final episode will see three of the eight celebrities (and their professional dancer partners) sent home.

Following the judge’s scores, the person who scores the lowest from the judges and studio audience’s vote is immediately sent home.

The next three couples on the bottom battle it out in a dance-off for the last remaining place in the grand finale. The judges decide who that person is based on their dance-off, and the other two couples are eliminated.

What will happen during the DWTS grand finale?

The top five couples will advance to the grand final, where only one celebrity and their partner will be crowned the winner.

All of the couples will dance their ‘freestyle’ – which is a combination of dance styles that best showcase that celebrities’ talent.

From this, the judges and studio audience vote to determine the top three couples and re-dance their favourite dance from the season.

The judges will vote on these dances, and then the studio audience will vote, and that will determine the winner of Dancing With The Stars 2024.
