Dancing with the Stars returns Tuesday night, with the 10 remaining couples participating in the always emotional Dedication Night. The evening allows the celebrity dancers to perform for someone or something important to them, often featuring guest appearances.

Two performers are paying homage to former co-stars who have since passed with Tatyana Ali performing a dance for her The Fresh Prince of Bel Air father James Avery and Julia Stiles honoring 10 Things I Hate About You co-star Heath Ledger. Ali will also have a guest appearance from DWTS co-host -- and her on-screen brother -- Alfonso Ribeiro. Several dancers are paying homage to a parent or sibling, while reality star Maura Higgins has chosen her home country of Ireland.

There will also be a shake-up in the partners this week as Jenna Dewan is dancing with eliminated pro Alan Bersten after the one-week suspension of Val Chmerkovskiy.
