Additional episodes are to air Nov. 30, Dec. 7 and Dec. 14, with the finale planned for Dec. 15.

"The first three episodes of 'Let's Dance' will feature stars from all walks of life competing in single, group and duo performances as they train, rehearse and take to the stage to reveal their comedic dance routine in front of a studio audience," ABC said. "After each performance, a celebrity panel will give their comments before viewers across America have the chance to vote for their favorite performance. The celebrity panel and star participants will be announced shortly."
