12 contestants remain in play on Dancing with the Stars 2024 (Season 33), as the competition continues to heat up.
Seven weeks of dances have come and gone and the celebrities taking part in Dancing with the Stars Season 33 continue to improve each week.
Ahead are the dance scores from all 12 performances from Dancing with the Stars Season 33, Week 7, which brought two new episodes to celebrate the series' 500th episode overall.
This includes the pairs' total scores and the individual scores awarded by judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli. The rankings list each couple by their total cumulative scores from all seven weeks of competition to date.
The first night of Week 7 had each couple reinterpret a memorable dance from a past season, letting fans look back on iconic performances from the past 20 years. The second night gave the couples the "Instant Dance Challenge," giving them five minutes to choreograph and learn a dance before performing it live.
Dwight Howard & Daniella Karagach - 225 (Eliminated)

- Week 7 (Night 2): 22
NBA champion Dwight Howard and partner Daniella Karagach used Gotan Project's "Santa María (del Buen Ayre)" for their first dance, an Argentine tango. The dance took inspiration from a Season 23 performance by IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe and partner Sharna Burgess, who placed second in 2016.
Inaba awarded Howard and Karagach eight points while Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli both gave nines, leaving them with 26 points for their first dance.
Howard and Karagach's second dance was a Paso Doble set to Panic! at the Disco's "Victorious." This dance earned them only 22 points (eight from Inaba, seven from Hough and Tonioli), which was the lowest score of the week.
Sadly, this score combined with the fan vote ended Howard's impressive run on Dancing with the Stars, leaving the show's tallest competitor ever out of the competition.

The pair impressed the judges, earning them ten points from Inaba and nine apiece from Hough and Tonioli for a 28-point total.

All three judges held up nine-point scorecards, leaving the duo with 27 points overall for their first dance.

The duo came close to a perfect score with Inaba and Hough awarding tens while Tonioli came in with a nine, leaving them one point shy of perfection at 29 points.
For their second round, they came up with a jive dance set to "Love is Embarrassing" by Olivia Rodrigo (the subject of some controversy this year). In that round, they earned nine points from Inaba and eight each from Hough and Tonioli for a 25-point total.

The duo were awarded ten points from Hough and nine apiece from Inaba and Tonioli, leaving them one point shy of a perfect dance at 29 points.

Former Disney Channel star Chandler Kinney took her dance skills into Week 7 with partner Brandon Armstrong, performing an Argentine tango set to "Para Te" by Appart. They used Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough's Season 16 run for inspiration after they won that season in 2013.
For the first time all season, all three judges held up tens, giving Kinney and Armstrong a perfect 30 points.
Charli XCX's "Apple" then served as the background music for the pair's second dance, a cha-cha-cha.
Once again, Kinney and Armstrong could not miss, as they were awarded a second consecutive perfect 30-point score.
