— -- "Dancing With the Stars" is making a switch on Monday night -- several switches, in fact.

The nine remaining celebrities are swapping professional dance partners for one night only. The temporary couples will perform either the cha cha, tango, salsa, paso doble, Viennese waltz, rumba or jive.

ABC News meteorologist Ginger Zee told ABC Radio that it will be a challenge for her to leave Val Chmerkovskiy for Mark Ballas.

"It's hard because he's turned me into so much of a dancer and now I want to keep growing and keep our gel going and it's going to break it up for a minute," Zee said.

It will likely be even more difficult for deaf model Nyle DiMarco, who says he's nervous to switch from Peta Murgatroyd to Sharna Burgess.

"[T]his is a new partner that I'm going to have that isn't just a new partner, but also being deaf and their method of teaching has to be different, completely different just as Peta has been doing," DiMarco said through his interpreter.

"DWTS" favorite Maksim Chmerkovskiy will return to the ballroom to serve as a guest judge.

Here's a preview of this week's "Switch Up" pairings, and the songs to which the couples will perform:
