Dancing with the Stars is premiering season 9 this week with sixteen pairs of celebrity dancers, among them Donny Osmond, Aaron Carter and Macy Gray. But probably one of the most anticipated shows DWTS is going to air this is week’s tribute to Patrick Swayze. It was announced last week that the reality dance competition show will honor the late actor who previously made guest appearances on the show during season 1 when he supported his pal John O’Hurley.

“We have some very fond memories of [Patrick] coming to help us when we were a tiny little show way back when,” the show’s Executive Producer Conrad Green told People. “He was one of the few people to integrate dance with being an A-list actor. He inspired many people and many of our pros to dance. We want to honor the great moments he’s brought to film by getting our dancers to do their interpretation to some music from his films.”

Patrick Swayze died after a two year battle with pancreatic cancer last week. Though he didn’t compete in Dancing with the Stars, the late actor will always be remembered for the movie that shot him to stardom, Dirty Dancing. He was Johnny Castle, a dance instructor form a resort in the Catskills, who performed the biggest dance of the year. Dancing with the Stars will probably recreate this number.

The Dancing with the Stars Patrick Swayze tribute video will be posted here. DWTS season 9 starts Monday while the DWTS Patrick Swayze Tribute airs on Wednesday, September 23. Watch out for it.
