After dealing with Motown Night, ‘Dancing with the Stars‘ decided to crank up the intensity and challenge the dancers even more with Classical Night.

Karina Smirnoff ended Monday night's episode of 'Dancing With the Stars' season 12 on a bit of a low note, when the 33-year-old beauty fell in the middle of the ballroom floor.

Poor Kirstie Alley. Just one week after she fell on the 'Dancing With the Stars' ballroom floor, the Emmy-winning actress suffered another unfortunate mishap.

In this case, it was her shoe that fell (off). Midway through her routine last night, a noticeably embarrassed Alley remained seated on the floor for a few moments while she put herself back together again.

Luckily, the performance hiccup didn't deter her too much. As was the case last week, Alley got right back on her feet and finished her performance with grace and style -- not to mention a solid score of 22.

It all went down during a segment in which Philbin and Inaba answered questions sent in by viewers at home. One of the viewers conveniently wanted to know how he should propose to his girlfriend, and as Philbin gave his advice, out walked Sloan ready to ask the biggest question of his life.
