This week, "Dancing with the Stars" will get some Latino influence, and that's just how we like it.

Monday is Latin Night on "Dancing with the Stars." In order to make sure the true essence of Latino dancing is captured, the ABC show has recruited the help of guest judge and Puerto Rican superstar Ricky Martin.

"Martin kicks-off the night with a show-stopping opening performance of his 2014 World Cup song 'Vida' accompanied by the Pro Dancers," ABC explained in a statement. "He will then join Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba as a guest judge for the evening. Each couple will perform an individual dance to a song with a Latin theme. Additionally, the competition will include two Latin inspired team dances. At the end of the night, one couple will face elimination."

The Grammy-award winning artist is excited to see how the stars tackle what will surely be some sizzling routines.

"Cant wait until Monday! Its going to be fun! @DancingABC," Martin said via Twitter yesterday.

It remains unclear how much fun Danica McKellar will have, however, as the star sustained an injury last week.

"So...I broke a rib in yesterday's #DWTS rehearsal. Trying my best to pull thru and could use your prayers!! #wanttokeepdancing," she tweeted on April 25.

It appears, however, that the show must go on for McKellar and her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy.

"Had rehearsal today.. it's tough dancing with a broken rib. [Chmerkovskiy] choreographed an amazing routine- fingers crossed I can pull it off! :/," McKellar tweeted the day after her injury.

Chmerkovskiy, however, is confident that McKellar will still impress.

"1 broken rib 2 dances to prep 3 missed days of rehearsals Seeing @danicamckellar persevere PRICELESS!!! #staytuned #dwts," Chmerkovskiy tweeted last night.

Only Monday's episode and Martin's judging will reveal if McKellar's body will fall victim to the swerves and twirls of Latin Night.
