Dancing with the Stars Season 20 will air its 10th Anniversary Special on April 28, instead of May 14 as originally scheduled.

ABC headlines the 10th year celebration as one of the biggest celebration shows on television with a cast of more than 45 dancers, celebrity DWTS alumni, judges, and hosts.

The previous DWTS Season 19 champion pair of Alfonso Ribeiro and Witney Carson who earned a perfect 40 for their Pasa Doble dance routine will face off with Season 18 winners Meryl Davis and Maks Chmerkovsky.

Seven Superbowl champions Donald Driver, Michael Irvin, Jacoby Jones, Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, Hines Ward, and Kurt Warner will touchdown with a "bromance" dance -- a Latin Paso Doble with Karina Smirnoff, Emma Slater and Anna Trebunskaya.

Celebrity contestants from the DWTS episodes of the past 10 years, Katherine Jenkins, Chelsea Kane, Kristi Yamaguchi, Amy Purdy, Maria Menounos, Melissa Rycroft, Kelly Monaco and more, will be back on stage showing off what made them memorable contestants.

The night promises a grand ending with the just eliminated DWTS celebrity contestant and Grammy winner Patti LaBelle performing her iconic hit "Lady Marmalade" with Lil' Kim and Amber Riley.

Reports also say the show will have another "first" with former Season 14 contestant and singer Katherine Jenkins joining the 10th anniversary carrying a 4-month pregnancy bump under her red sequinned outfit.

Dancing with the Stars Executive Producer Rob Wade says the anniversary show is a fitting tribute, "This is an outstanding milestone and a testament to the creativity and dedication of all the people who have been involved in the show over the last 10 years."

ABC will move the Tuesday elimination night of Season 20 for Dancing With The Stars double elimination next week on May 5.

Dancing with the Stars Season 20 Eras Night competition airs on schedule this Monday at 8pm on ABC with the remaining 7 pairs.
