During the sixth week of performances on Dancing with the Stars, fans will watch the men and women celebrity contestants face off in team dances – it’s a boy bands vs. girl groups theme. No wonder why Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys fame (who came in second place on DWTS on Season 21 in 2015, when Bindi Irwin won) is serving as a guest judge.

One day before the men vs. women showdown, professional dancers Emma Slater and Sasha Ferber (who just got engaged in the fall) break down the epic dance battle in the video below. They playfully act competitively with one another. “So tell everybody what they can expect from your girl group,” Emma says to Sasha. Sasha takes his time explaining how great the group is – Simone Biles, Nancy Kerrigan, Normani Kordai and Heather Morris. But that won’t do for Emma. “I’m going to need more than that. I need more information. Spill the beans,” Emma demands. But then the couple start hugging and kissing and agree that they’re on the same team and no real beans are spilled. Dancing with the Stars airs Mondays at 8pm on ABC.
