McCormick, 60, is excited for an entirely different reason: Her pro partner, Artem Chigvintsev, isn’t familiar with her work as Marcia Brady on “The Brady Bunch.”

“It’s incredibly refreshing because he kind of had no conceived ideas,” McCormick said. “And the only other man I’ve ever met in my life other than Artem that had no idea who I was was my husband. When I first met him, he had never seen the show. So, yeah, love, love no preconceived anything.”

On Monday night, the 13 couples will perform the jive, foxtrot, cha-cha or Viennese waltz. No one will be eliminated this week.

Here’s a rundown of the couples and the songs they’ll dance to:

Jake T. Austin and Jenna Johnson, jive, “Kiss You” by One Direction

Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds and Allison Holker, foxtrot, “Deed I Do” by Ray Charles

Marilu Henner and Derek Hough, jive, “Can’t Stop Dancing” by Becky G

James Hinchcliffe and Sharna Burgess, foxtrot, “Live Life” by Zayde Wølf

Calvin Johnson Jr. and Lindsay Arnold, cha-cha, “That’s What I Like” by Flo Rida featuring Fitz Lunchmoney

Terra Jolé and Sasha Farber, jive, “Stuff Like That There” by Betty Hutton
