Dancing with the Stars will pay tribute to the late Patrick Swayze by dedicating the entire evening of Septmeber 23 to the coveted actor.

        “We have some very fond memories of [the late actor] coming to help us our when we were a tiny little show way back when,” Dancing’s executive producer Conrad Green told PEOPLE.

Swayze, who lost his battle to pancreatic cancer on Monday at the age of 57, appeared on DWTS back in 2005 by teaching his fellow friend and actor John O'Hurley a couple of dance moves that he had up his sleeve. He also attended the season 1 finale to cheer on his buddy.

        "He was one of the few people to integrate dance with being an A-list actor," Green says. "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."
