00:07:44long have you been dancing? I've been dancing for one year. One year. One year. But how
00:07:50long have you been the most beautiful girl in the world? Forever. That's right. That's
00:07:55right. That's right. Kim, you're up first. That was the most joyful way to start this
00:08:00night. It really was. And Cornelia. Cornelia, you were such a great dancer. Isn't Daddy so
00:08:07good? Yeah. You know what? I get so excited to see what you're going to do every single
00:08:13week. Thank you. And I can relate to you and Emma because way, way back in season
00:08:17three, I danced with Jerry Springer. We had the bottom scores every week, but we kept getting
00:08:20through. And you could. Couldn't get rid of you. Couldn't we? No, you couldn't. But you connect with people and America loves you. Emma, keep giving us this magic. All right, all right.
00:08:28You know, I love it with you. With him is always. It's showtime, folks. Let's have a good time. Sweetness, light, all things bright. And you, Naughty Girl, I love it. I love it. We had our little baby spies here. I love Naughty Girls. Listen, plenty of steps, not always on time, but always entertaining. Done. All right. Cherrienne.
00:08:56Okay. I saw improvement tonight. When you started at Sasa, there was something going on. Like that magic is, you're starting to feel really comfortable in the moves, which I love. Adding Cornelia is a bonus, obviously. But, but, to offset the improvement I saw, you were off in the musicality in the beginning. And I'm so sorry, but you still brought all of the joy to this room.
00:09:19How are we supposed to talk about anything except for how precious this little one is? Honestly, this is ridiculous. Um, listen, that was positively playful, pure, and full of love. Well done, Andy.
00:09:33All right, all right. Head on up to the skybox. Great job.
00:09:36Good job, Andy! With us in the ballroom tonight is season 21 champion Bindi Irwin. She's joining our reigning champion, Joey Grazadet, this week on the Dancing with the Stars official podcast. Available Thursday mornings on Disney Plus and Hulu or wherever you get your podcasts. Juliette.
00:09:52Thanks, Alfonso. Oh, we love seeing you up here. I want to know, it's week five. You made it all the way to dedication night. How are you feeling?
00:10:00Uh, thrilled to make it to week five because this was such a special night, you know, and I, I wanted to do this with my daughter and, and Emma made such a beautiful dance for us.
00:10:10We'll remember it forever.
00:10:12Well, speaking of your daughter, Cornelia, how was it dancing with her this week?
00:10:15Uh, she's better than me. She picked up the steps quicker and made less mistakes. So, yeah, she's great.

00:10:57Dedication night is just getting started. Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson perform a routine dedicated to his mom, Terry, next.
00:11:05Bye.
00:11:05Welcome back to Dedication Night. Next up, our wildlife conservationist performs a tribute to a family member who is no stranger to this ballroom. It's Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson.
00:11:27Last week, we haven't dipped, but we've just had this plateau.
00:11:35You just have that Irwin aura.
00:11:38Seven.
00:11:39Eight.
00:11:40Okay.
00:11:41I got to step it up a notch.
00:11:42So, it's dedication night.
00:11:44I want to dedicate this dance to my mom. She's an absolute hero to me. Because I was two when I lost dad. And as I got older, I started to realize just how hard it would have been for her to be there for us.
00:11:58And all the while, continue dad's legacy that her and dad built together. It's incredible.
00:12:03I've never really been able to capture what it, like...
00:12:08I've never been able to capture the feeling of gratitude that I feel for her.
00:12:22And at every milestone, when I just wished...
00:12:26When I just wished that my dad was there, she was...she was there. And that was enough.
00:12:36I struggle a lot with losing dad. A lot. And she always made sure my dad was present in our lives.
00:12:45I wanted to know how proud my dad would be of her.
00:12:48Her strength and your strength is so inspiring.
00:12:54Come here.
00:12:56I tried to hang on.
00:13:01In this contemporary, we're really trying to tell Robert's story and help people along that grief journey.
00:13:09Welcome.
00:13:10So excited.
00:13:11So glad to see you guys.
00:13:13I'm here to cry.
00:13:14Oh, no, no.
00:13:15There's been a lot of that going around.
00:13:17After we lost Steve, it was difficult to smile again for quite a while.
00:13:22So for him to say, you lifted me up, honestly, it was the opposite.
00:13:28Because of them, I could get up every morning.
00:13:31So every day, I'm a proud mama.
00:13:33Looking at each other.
00:13:35Can you all look at me?
00:13:36This is a moment with my mom that I will cherish forever.
00:13:40And I know my dad would be so proud.
00:13:42Oh, yes, that's so cute.
00:13:45That's perfect.
00:13:46Adored.
00:13:49Dancing Contemporary with his partner, Whitney Carson, it's Robert Irwin.
00:13:54Come stop your crying.
00:14:03It will be all right.
00:14:07Just take my hand.
00:14:09Hold it tight.
00:14:11I will protect you from all around you.
00:14:17I will be here.
00:14:19Don't you cry.
00:14:22Because you'll be in my heart.
00:14:26Yes, you'll be in my heart.
00:14:31From this day on, now and forevermore.
00:14:39When destiny calls you, you must be strong.
00:14:45I may not be with you, but you've got to hold on.
00:14:50They'll see in time.
00:14:53I know you've shown them together.
00:15:02Because you'll be in my heart.
00:15:08Always.
00:15:09Robert and Whitney with his mom, Terry, with a contemporary routine.
00:15:31Terry, how did that feel?
00:15:36I'm also very proud of it.
00:15:40Bruno.
00:15:44Robert.
00:15:46He's looking at you, kid, and he's smiling.
00:15:50You gave us all of your heart and soul.
00:15:53All I can say, this was the true expression of everlasting love.
00:15:59Terri-Ann.
00:16:07You know, I've never had kids, but Terry, I have to say, if I could have had kids, I would
00:16:15like him to be like Robert.
00:16:17Your son is an impressive man.
00:16:20And it shows in his dancing.
00:16:23It's such an honest, you're so honest and open, and you just are always connecting with
00:16:28the audience.
00:16:29It was really beautiful.
00:16:32Derri, I mean, I, uh, the love I have for your family.
00:16:44I just have so much love for you guys.
00:16:46And, man, I'm so proud of you.
00:16:48I really am.
00:16:48Just, you've become such an amazing man.
00:16:51And, uh, the world needs the Irwin family.
00:16:54Thank you, Derri.
00:16:57They sure, they sure do.
00:17:00But, Terri, the end when you came in and that moment you had with your son just got me.
00:17:07I think it got everybody.
00:17:09Just the love that you have for your family, and you're just an incredible woman.
00:17:13But I'm going to come and talk to you later and get some tips on how you raise such great
00:17:16kids.
00:17:17Robert, you're...
00:17:19Terri, real quick.
00:17:21Is there anything you'd like to say to Robert right now?
00:17:24Well, I love him so much, and I'm so blessed to be this woman.
00:17:27All right.
00:17:31Beautiful.
00:17:32All right, you guys head on up to the skybox.

00:17:55I wanted to pass this along.
00:17:57I need it.
00:17:57Um, we're all feeling it right here, right now.
00:18:02And I know this was such an emotional performance for you.
00:18:04Yeah, yeah.
00:18:05How tough was it this week to get through?
00:18:08It was a tough week, but here's the thing.
00:18:11This dance is for my mom.
00:18:13It's for all of the moms out there who don't get the recognition they deserve.
00:18:17This is for the single parents who work so hard every day to put one foot in front of
00:18:22the other.
00:18:22It's for anyone who's lost someone who feels lost, keep going.
00:18:27And if you can, go call your mom and tell her that you love her.

00:19:28Tonight, she dedicates a foxtrot to the power and importance of female friendship.
00:19:34It's film and TV actress Elaine Hendricks and her partner, Alan Burstyn.
00:19:42Elaine, we did it.
00:19:44I have just been on cloud nine.
00:19:47Oh, what a ride.
00:19:51You were going at warp speed.
00:19:54Eight.
00:19:55Oh!
00:19:56It's dedication night.
00:19:58I want to dedicate this dance to my bestie, Lisa Ann Walter.
00:20:02We met doing The Parent Trap.
00:20:04Chessie!
00:20:06You rang?
00:20:07It was 28 years ago.
00:20:08It was a very long time for a friendship.
00:20:10Female friendships are vital because we support one another.
00:20:15When my mom died, the first person I called was Lisa.
00:20:20She said, I know you're an only child, but I want you to know you will never be alone.
00:20:27Yeah, we've been friends, but now we're sisters.
00:20:30Five, six, open six.
00:20:31Hey, is this a meeting of the grown-ass women who do whatever we want?
00:20:38Yes!
00:20:39Oh, and Alan.
00:20:40And Alan.
00:20:40And Alan.
00:20:41Thank you for what you're doing.
00:20:43Elaine constantly talks about you, and so it's going to be incredible.
00:20:46We're the bubbles and the champagne.
00:20:48Yes.
00:20:49Celebrating our friendship.
00:20:50I hope I don't screw it up for you guys.
00:20:52Don't screw it up!
00:20:53I won't.
00:20:54Oh!
00:20:55I really want this foxtrot to tell a story about Elaine and Lisa Ann Walter's friendship.
00:21:01I'm a guest star.
00:21:03I want them to be playful and work with each other to create magic.
00:21:06Jazzy.
00:21:07We have both starred in many movies, had husbands and boyfriends.
00:21:11They come and go.
00:21:12We are constant, and we're going to grow old together.
00:21:16Look at us.
00:21:17I can't imagine navigating life without Lisa.
00:21:21This moment is a celebration of Lisa and I and of female friendships everywhere.
00:21:27So good.
00:21:28We could not do it better than that.
00:21:29Lisa's jamming.
00:21:33Dancing the Foxtrot with her partner Alan Burstyn, it's Elaine Hendricks.
00:21:38This will be an everlasting love.
00:21:56This will be the one I've waited for.
00:22:00This will be the first time anyone has loved me.
00:22:08I'm so glad you found me in time.
00:22:12And I'm so glad that you rectified my mind.
00:22:16This will be the first time anyone has loved me.
00:22:17This will be the first time anyone has loved me.
00:22:19This will be the last time anyone has loved me.
00:22:21This will be the last time anyone has loved me.
00:22:23This will be the last time anyone has dreamed me.
00:22:25You and me, get sorry, eternally
00:22:31Hugging and squeezing and kissing and pleasing together
00:22:33Forever through it and whatever
00:22:35Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:22:37You and me
00:22:38So long as I'm living true love I'll be giving to you
00:22:41I'll be serving cause you're so deserving
00:22:43Love, love, love, love, love
00:22:49Love, love, love, love
00:22:55Elaine and Alan with a Foxtrot featuring Lisa and Walter
00:23:03Yeah, they're on their feet in the ballroom right now
00:23:08We've brought it back up
00:23:11Lisa, Lisa, come on
00:23:17I think that was an incredible audition for you to be on the show next season
00:23:21Just want to say, just want to say
00:23:23All right, Carrie Ann
00:23:25Alfonso, I second that opinion
00:23:27Okay, this was amazing
00:23:29What a wonderful way to celebrate friendship
00:23:31It's, you can see the joy and the fun
00:23:34Alan, you did a great job the way you choreographed
00:23:36The way you brought it all together
00:23:37I thought it was a perfect showcase for you both
00:23:40And the beautiful friendship that is
00:23:41Yeah
00:23:42Elaine, you're an absolute joy to watch
00:23:45And Lisa, I see you in those pivots
00:23:48All right
00:23:49Oh my gosh
00:23:51Still one little teeny little note
00:23:53I love you
00:23:54The shoulder is still a little bit
00:23:56Oh here, I want them to be back and down
00:23:58But back as well
00:23:59Really, really important
00:24:00Because you are such a beautiful, sensational dancer

00:24:05Oh that made my heart happy
00:24:06It was beautiful
00:24:07You had lovely movement across the floor
00:24:09But just adding on what Derek said
00:24:10I think I can help you with one little thing
00:24:12In the whole
00:24:13Grab up
00:24:14Oh yeah, grab up
00:24:15Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:24:16So occasionally
00:24:17Occasionally the hand just goes around Alan's back
00:24:20So you want to give your arms
00:24:22To him
00:24:23And make sure the thumb and your index finger is on the tricep
00:24:26And that will give that nice space
00:24:28Gorgeous
00:24:29All right Kim

00:24:38Side by side
00:24:40Sharing beautiful Alan
00:24:43But again
00:24:44You know why I like you
00:24:45You always get exactly what it's at
00:24:48Ginger Rogers
00:24:49That feel she used to have
00:24:51That aura she used to possess
00:24:53The way you use the floor

00:27:43Hey
00:27:45Hi
00:27:46So why don't you tell me a little bit about who you've chosen to dedicate this to Connor and I have been married for almost ten years now we dated for four months and then got married
00:27:58Oh my god
00:28:00There's a specific time in our relationship where we were the most distant
00:28:04Being able to get out of that made our relationship even stronger
00:28:08Stronger yeah
00:28:09Connor's given up a lot for me to pursue these dreams
00:28:14He's quit his job moved here to LA
00:28:16Hard hit hard
00:28:17He's getting up with the kids and I don't feel like everybody gets that and now I get to share that dream with him
00:28:24Yeah that's my best friend
00:28:26And you both are for each other

00:28:38Okay
00:28:39And you're in it
00:28:40I can't even express in words what it means that you want to involve me in this dance
00:28:43The story in this dance is that they're playing themselves and I'm going to be playing the thing that's trying to keep them apart
00:28:51Whitney is my life she's my home and you know she's dedicating this song and dance to me
00:28:57It makes me feel like she looks back on those trying times and says I made the right decision to stay
00:29:02Pretty almost
00:29:04Pretty almost
00:29:06Being able to experience this dream with the person that believed in my dreams from the very beginning is very special to me

00:31:22You're up
00:31:22Listen, dancing is
00:31:25Dancing is so healing
00:31:26And that was so beautiful to watch you
00:31:28Share that moment with your husband
00:31:31So beautiful and so impressive
00:31:32Wow, Connor, you're a dancer
00:31:34What?
00:31:35That was amazing
00:31:37No, the storytelling
00:31:38The choreography
00:31:40The musicality
00:31:42One thing I will just say
00:31:43The little note I have is
00:31:45Lots of little bit of
00:31:45You're out of sync on the side by side
00:31:47A little bit
00:31:47But that happens with a complicated
00:31:49And challenging routine
00:31:51But well done
00:31:52Both of you
00:31:53Both of you
00:31:54Kim
00:31:54I agree with Derek
00:31:56But Mark, you had Connor dancing
00:31:58Like, that was incredible
00:32:00Whitney, I have loved you every week
00:32:02You are so special
00:32:03You own this floor
00:32:04When you actually walk onto the floor
00:32:06We're in Whitney's world
00:32:07And I love it
00:32:08All right, Bruno
00:32:10I mean, I am literally breathless
00:32:13You know, the twist, the turns
00:32:15The ups, the downs, the drama
00:32:16It was like White Lotus
00:32:19You know, with a happy ending
00:32:21Very, very ambitious routine
00:32:24Wonderful
00:32:25There is only a slight
00:32:26You know
00:32:27Which is very unusual for you
00:32:29A tiny, tiny mistake
00:32:31But you should be proud of it
00:32:32Because you're pushing the boundaries
00:32:34Great
00:32:34Okay, here we end
00:32:36When you dance
00:32:41Just that dance
00:32:41It's like
00:32:42You bring me to a place of emotions
00:32:44That's just
00:32:45It's hard to put to words
00:32:47And it's why
00:32:48Some of us became dancers
00:32:49It's for this
00:32:50It's a way to cope
00:32:51With emotions
00:32:52It's a way to turn
00:32:54The difficult moments
00:32:55Into something beautiful
00:32:56Watching this choreography
00:32:58Mark, brilliant choreography
00:32:59Connor, brilliant performance
00:33:00Way to show up for your wife
00:33:02Wonderful
00:33:03Whitney, that was amazing
00:33:05But you were out of sync
00:33:06It was amazing though
00:33:07Amazing
00:33:08That's how husbands show up
00:33:11For their wives
00:33:12Great job

00:35:09Of Mormon wives
00:35:10Jen Affleck
00:35:10And her partner
00:35:11Jan Rasmus
00:35:12You did so good
00:35:16But it was
00:35:16A little bit stressful
00:35:17I definitely
00:35:18Tried my best
00:35:19I think you need
00:35:22To make it
00:35:23A little bit more
00:35:23Challenging
00:35:24As we move forward
00:35:25You just didn't
00:35:25Set me over the tongue
00:35:27Seven
00:35:27I don't think
00:35:30People realize
00:35:31How much work
00:35:31I put into that
00:35:32Especially still
00:35:33Being postpartum
00:35:34Yes, it was great
00:35:35This week
00:35:35It's dedication night
00:35:37I want to dedicate
00:35:37This dance to my mom
00:35:39Because
00:35:39My mom was raised
00:35:41In Ecuador
00:35:41She moved to America
00:35:43When she was 26
00:35:44And there are many times
00:35:47That she was working
00:35:48And being a mom
00:35:50At the same time
00:35:51And so
00:35:52To me
00:35:52My mom
00:35:54Is just
00:35:55She's a warrior
00:35:57Like she is a warrior
00:35:59I didn't realize
00:35:59How much she did for me
00:36:00Until I became
00:36:02A mom myself
00:36:03I'm so grateful
00:36:04To know that I have her
00:36:05Right next to me
00:36:06Because she knows
00:36:07What it's like
00:36:07Because of like
00:36:09Her sacrifice
00:36:09I have everything
00:36:10That I have
00:36:11Now
00:36:11And I'm crying
00:36:12Right
00:36:13Now steps
00:36:14We're so happy
00:36:17You're here
00:36:18Who would have thought
00:36:19That we'd be able
00:36:20To dance together
00:36:20I'm gonna be a star too
00:36:22Like you
00:36:22Yes
00:36:23Oh my god
00:36:24One
00:36:26Two
00:36:27Viennese walls
00:36:28Is a good style
00:36:29Where we can show emotions
00:36:30And especially
00:36:31All these memories
00:36:31About how much
00:36:33Her mom did
00:36:33For her
00:36:34See, ballerina
00:36:35It's very special
00:36:37That Jennifer
00:36:37Dedicated dancing
00:36:39For me
00:36:40I just want you
00:36:41To know how much
00:36:42I love
00:36:42And appreciate you
00:36:44Don't cry
00:36:45She's a beautiful mom
00:36:47And she's good friend
00:36:49Look at this
00:36:50I want this dance
00:36:51To not only be dedicated
00:36:52To my mom
00:36:53But to all the moms
00:36:54Out there
00:36:55You are seen
00:36:56You're loved
00:36:57And you're appreciated
00:36:58Oh, okay
00:36:59That's it
00:37:00You got it, mom
00:37:01Dancing the Viennese waltz
00:37:05With her partner
00:37:06Jan Ravnik
00:37:07It's Jen Affleck
00:37:08You are not hidden
00:37:21There's never been a moment
00:37:26You were forgotten
00:37:28I hear you whisper
00:37:32Under me
00:37:34I will send out an army
00:37:44To find you
00:37:46In the middle of the darkest night
00:37:50It's true
00:37:51I will rescue you
00:37:55Oh, I will rescue you
00:38:25Jen and Jan
00:38:32Performing a beautiful
00:38:33Viennese waltz
00:38:34With her mom
00:38:35Maria
00:38:36So beautiful
00:38:38Come on over here
00:38:39Ladies
00:38:39Absolutely
00:38:41We love the moms
00:38:44Moms take care
00:38:45Of all of us
00:38:46Kim
00:38:47Oh, Maria
00:38:48I mean
00:38:49I could feel the love
00:38:50Between the two of you
00:38:52You have a different
00:38:53Appreciation for a mom
00:38:54When you become one yourself
00:38:55Don't you
00:38:56It was beautiful to see
00:38:57Yeah
00:38:58As the Viennese waltz
00:39:00What I would like to see
00:39:02I want to see a little more
00:39:03Grounded into the floor
00:39:04So you can then get
00:39:05A little more movement
00:39:05So think about
00:39:06When you're practicing
00:39:07On your own
00:39:07Holding two heavy bags
00:39:09But being pulled up
00:39:09By your center
00:39:10So you have that weight
00:39:11Into the floor
00:39:12But you still keep that length
00:39:13That might help you
00:39:14Throughout the future dances
00:39:15Alright, Kim
00:39:16He in your score
00:39:18And then Bruna
00:39:19Oh, my love
00:39:20There is nothing like
00:39:21Mother's love
00:39:21Really
00:39:22It will be there forever
00:39:23Always with you
00:39:24And you express that
00:39:25So lovely to see
00:39:26Now
00:39:27Getting to the
00:39:28Viennese waltz
00:39:29My darling
00:39:29We told you before
00:39:30You know
00:39:30It's getting better
00:39:31But you have to
00:39:33Continue this flow
00:39:34Through the bars
00:39:35Of the music
00:39:36Sometimes you still
00:39:37Throw it a little bit
00:39:38Yeah
00:39:39So correct that
00:39:40But beautiful, my love
00:39:41Okay, Carrie Ann
00:39:42Jen

00:39:48Passionate dance

00:39:53Into it

00:39:56With your beautiful mom
00:39:57I see where you get

00:42:52I'm dedicating this dance
00:42:53To my little sister Olivia

00:42:56To be a big brother
00:42:57She's five
00:42:57And I'm 33
00:42:59But immediately
00:43:00I was inseparable
00:43:01From her
00:43:02She's the world
00:43:03To me
00:43:03I want to show her
00:43:04To live her life

00:43:09To my brother
00:43:10Zach's always
00:43:11Taking care of me
00:43:12And like he did things
00:43:13That were so selfless
00:43:14I want to be that
00:43:15To Olivia
00:43:15That's so sweet
00:43:16Don't do it
00:43:17Don't do that
00:43:18Don't do that
00:43:19I want to be the best
00:43:21Role model I can
00:43:22Dramatic
00:43:23The contemporary
00:43:24Is about raw emotion

00:50:36Julianne, Anya, and Haley choreographed by Jenna and Barrett.
00:50:49So great to have Julianne back on the floor.
00:50:51All right, next up, our Olympic gold medalist
00:50:54dedicates a Viennese waltz to her dad.
00:50:57It's Jordan Childs and her partner, Ezra Sosa.
00:51:02Disney night.
00:51:04What were our scores?
00:51:05What's four plus four?
00:51:06Eight.
00:51:07Period.
00:51:07And times that by three.
00:51:11Right, vivacious.
00:51:13You are dance royalty.
00:51:17We can really work for that night now.
00:51:19Yes.
00:51:20It's dedication night.
00:51:21Do you know who you're dedicating it to?
00:51:23My dad.
00:51:24He is my truest heart.
00:51:26I had really bad ADHD when I was younger.
00:51:28And I'm just bouncing off walls.
00:51:30And so my dad, he called my mom and was like, we got to do something.
00:51:33My dad decided to put me in gymnastics because he felt like that would be an outlet for me.
00:51:38He helped start my career of gymnastics.
00:51:40So I have a man that I can look up to.
00:51:44Do you know how healing that is like, sorry.
00:51:46It's healing because I don't have a relationship with my own.
00:51:52I appreciate you allowing my dad to kind of be a father to you because that's just how my dad is.
00:51:59And they will be able to see that within the dance.
00:52:02It's been a long time no see, my guy.
00:52:07I know.
00:52:07How you doing?
00:52:08We're so excited that you are here this week.
00:52:11She's my baby.
00:52:12I just want you guys to be successful.
00:52:14Left arm is going to go up like this.
00:52:15We are dancing to Daughters by John Mayer.
00:52:18Okay, rock the boat.
00:52:19So Jordan's Viennese Waltz, it's all about telling the story of Jordan and her father.
00:52:23I don't want to drop my baby.
00:52:24You're not going to drop me.
00:52:26I'm so proud.
00:52:27Sometimes I sit back and I say, that's my kid.
00:52:29Like, that is my kid.
00:52:31After this dance, I hope dads call their daughters and young ladies call their dads.
00:52:36I didn't tell Ezra he's been accepted by you, if that's okay.
00:52:40Aw.
00:52:41Dad, you are my superhero every single day.
00:52:44You're family now.
00:52:46And we get to dance together.
00:52:48I love you.
00:52:51Dancing the Viennese Waltz with her partner Ezra Sosa, it's Jordan Childs.
00:52:57I know a girl, she puts the color inside of my world.
00:53:13She's just like a maze, where all of the walls are continually changed.
00:53:23And I've done all I can to stand on the steps with my heart in my hands.
00:53:34And now I'm starting to see, baby, it's got nothing to do with me.
00:53:43Fathers, be good to your daughters.
00:53:50Daughters will love like you do.
00:53:55Girls become lovers who turn into mothers.
00:54:01So mothers, be good to your daughters, too.
00:54:06So mothers, be good to your daughters, too.
00:54:11Yes.
00:54:18Jordan and Ezra with a lovely Viennese Waltz featuring her dad, Timothy.
00:54:24Yes.
00:54:26Timothy, how important is it to you to be a great dad for Jordan?
00:54:32It's one of the most important things in my life.
00:54:35Absolutely.
00:54:35We love great fathers.
00:54:36The reverence that I just witnessed was profound.
00:54:44The respect and love that you showed for your daughter in that dance by showing up and actually pretty much doing the whole dance.
00:54:50Pretty incredible.
00:54:52And I'm sorry, we're not judging you, sir, Timothy.
00:54:56But I just have to point it out because it was really touching and profound.
00:55:00And Ezra, kudos to you for that.
00:55:02Jordan, you are blossoming into something spectacular.
00:55:08I got it.
00:55:09Darren.
00:55:10Well, watching you two dance really made me excited to have that own, my own moment with my own child.
00:55:19Um, it's so beautiful.
00:55:22You, sir, it was, it was, there was a tenderness.
00:55:25It was simple.
00:55:26It was, there was a care to it.
00:55:28It was just a really beautiful dance.
00:55:30And I hope you both cherish that moment.
00:55:32Well done.
00:55:32Kim.
00:55:33Well, it doesn't get much better than a father-daughter dance.
00:55:36And Ezra, you really took a risk on having them dance together solo for quite a long time.
00:55:41But it paid off.
00:55:42You, you were actually leading your dad and you were dancing beautifully.
00:55:45So much breath in your movement.
00:55:47And your extension.
00:55:50I think you are a beautiful dancer.
00:55:52And you have, you have the determination to go all the way to the end.
00:55:56You really do.
00:55:57Bruno.
00:55:59Elegance, style and poise, sir.
00:56:03You've got it.
00:56:03And your daughter.
00:56:05I'm so proud of her.
00:56:07Because what she's done from the beginning during this competition has been brilliant.
00:56:11She gets better and better and better.
00:56:13Your musicality improves every week.
00:56:16Keep going, my love.
00:56:18Keep going.
00:56:20Timothy, is there anything you want to say to Jordan right now?
00:56:24I love you.
00:56:26And let's get to the top.
00:56:29All right.
00:56:30Let's get to the top.
00:56:31Top of those stairs in the skybox, y'all.
00:56:33All right.
00:56:34And as they take a moment to collect themselves, let's check out where our first six couples
00:56:38stand on the leaderboard.
00:56:40Currently at the top are Dylan and Daniella with 36.
00:56:43And currently at the bottom are Andy and Emma with 24.
00:56:47Julianne.
00:56:48Thanks, Alfonso.
00:56:49As they head on up, I just want to acknowledge the fact that this is a very cool night.
00:56:54And we should do this more where we bring our favorite people we want to dedicate this
00:56:58to.
00:56:59Okay.
00:57:00Come on over here.
00:57:01Hi, gorgeous.
00:57:02Hello.
00:57:02All right.
00:57:03If your dad had never put you in gymnastics in the first place, what do you think your
00:57:09life would be like today?
00:57:12Oh, honestly, I couldn't tell you.
00:57:14Um, I don't think I would be this humble girl who has the opportunity to have a dance on
00:57:22the biggest show of her career.
00:57:23And to understand that every little girl should enjoy their moments with their fathers.
00:57:31Let's get your scores.
00:57:32Carianne Inabe.
00:57:36Eight.
00:57:38Derek Huff.
00:57:40Eight.
00:57:41Kim Johnson.
00:57:43Eight.

00:57:46Eight.
00:57:4632 out of 40 for Jordan and Ezra.
00:57:50If you were moved by their dedication, let us know with your votes.
00:57:53Alfonso.
00:57:54All right.
00:57:54Thanks, Julianne.
00:57:55Our Grammy-winning singer-songwriter is on the way with a dedication routine to his own
00:58:00song.
00:58:01Scott Hoying and Riley Arnold are up next, live.
00:58:14Welcome back.
00:58:16Dedication Night continues with the star who last week was praised for his growing confidence
00:58:21and showmanship.
00:58:22Tonight, he dedicates a Foxtrot to his biggest supporter, his husband, Mark.
00:58:28From Pentatonix, it's Grammy winner Scott Hoying and his partner, Riley Arnold.
00:58:35Oh, my gosh.
00:58:36That performance was so much fun.
00:58:39If we keep it up, I'll have Beyonce confidence at the end of this.
00:58:43What I love is when you dance, you live.
00:58:45And you are living through that.
00:58:47Seven.
00:58:49Okay.
00:58:50Who are you dedicating this dance to?
00:58:51It's my husband, Mark.
00:58:53I am so in love with him, and I have been hoping we made it to this week.
00:58:57What was life like for you before you had met Mark?
00:58:59I've always been, like, a workaholic.
00:59:00We toured every single year.
00:59:02Yeah.
00:59:02I felt like I was always dating mean guys.
00:59:05When I met Mark, I felt like I could exhale.
00:59:07Yeah.
00:59:07I could be myself.
00:59:08What happens is your self-esteem starts to, like, heal, and that starts to trickle into
00:59:11all areas of your life.
00:59:13He's so special.
00:59:14Yeah.
00:59:14And so I wrote this song.
00:59:15We were dancing to it called Parallel.
00:59:17After the night, we, like, really fell in love.
00:59:19We just, like, laid on the kitchen floor for hours and just talked.
00:59:22And I just want to recreate that.
00:59:23It'll be beautiful.
00:59:25It sounds really good.
00:59:26Oh, even her?
00:59:26Yeah.
00:59:26The foxtrot is soft and emotional, and then we're going to emulate their relationship
00:59:31and how much love he has for Mark.
00:59:34It's going to mean so much to Scott.
00:59:36Love!
00:59:37My favorite people.
00:59:40For him to dedicate this performance.
00:59:42Spin, spin.
00:59:43To a song he wrote about our love.
00:59:46I'll treasure this for the rest of my life.
00:59:47We have one more piece of news for you.
00:59:49What?
00:59:50We're having a baby.
00:59:51We're having a baby.
00:59:53Our surrogate is pregnant.
00:59:55We're going to need dads.
00:59:56We've dreamed of this our whole lives.
01:00:00Scott's going to be the best dad in the whole world.
01:00:02Crazy to say it out loud.
01:00:03It's the first time we've really said it.
01:00:05What a perfect way to start off this chapter in our lives, with this performance.
01:00:09I'm so excited to raise a family of him.
01:00:11I just feel like we're really, really lucky.
01:00:15Be soft, just walk around each other.
01:00:16Uh-huh.
01:00:17I'm so excited.
01:00:18Oh, cuties.
01:00:20Dancing the Foxtrot with his partner, Riley Arnold, it's Scott Hoying.
01:00:28Outside the sky is falling.
01:00:35Look in my eyes and tell me why I would ever be anywhere else.
01:00:44It's something that I've never felt.
01:00:47You and I, parallel.
01:00:53I'm breath by breath, line by line.
01:00:57Hold me close to know the dance, but we can look back.
01:01:00Step by step.
01:01:03Right in time, like my hands can't reach your mind.
01:01:13Lay on the floor beside me.
01:01:17Let's lock the door, remind me why I would ever be anywhere else.
01:01:25Without you, I'm high for myself.
01:01:27Side by side, parallel.
01:01:29You and I, it's over life, I believe.
01:01:45You and I, it's white, equal size, I believe.
01:01:55Yes!
01:01:55Scott and Riley with a Foxtrot and a guest appearance by his husband, Mark.
01:02:06Come on over here.
01:02:08Mark, I love you because you are the greatest, happiest person in the world.
01:02:13I love them.
01:02:14All right, Derek.
01:02:15I mean, well, first of all, congratulations!
01:02:20That's amazing.
01:02:21Okay, first, I gotta be quick.
01:02:22I gotta be quick.
01:02:23What a beautiful way to just dedicate this to the love of your life.
01:02:27This is beautiful.
01:02:28And I have to tell you something right now.
01:02:30I saw the effort.
01:02:31I saw the commitment, trying to keep that frame.
01:02:32Moving across the floor, doing a traditional Foxtrot.
01:02:35It was so beautiful.
01:02:36Also, I'm downloading that song right now.
01:02:38I love that song!
01:02:40That was great!
01:02:41All right, Kim.
01:02:42Yeah, what a beautiful love you two have.
01:02:43And yes, congratulations.
01:02:45With the Foxtrot, I can really see improvement.
01:02:47Your frame was great.
01:02:48I think I can give you one tip moving forward with your head.
01:02:51If you think about getting a ruler behind your back, and then putting your head to the ruler,
01:02:55it just crept in a little bit to Riley.
01:02:57And then it gets a little bit more drive action off your standing leg, which will get you gliding
01:03:01across the floor a little more.
01:03:03All right, all right.
01:03:04Bruno, listen.
01:03:04It really was a true love Foxtrot, and we all felt it.
01:03:10And I could feel you being so much more at ease with it.
01:03:14You were getting on those drives much better than you did before.
01:03:18Your lines are getting better.
01:03:19They're absolutely right.
01:03:21Posture.
01:03:22Posture.
01:03:23Sometimes you tend to lean forward, which you shouldn't do as the man should lead, yeah?
01:03:29But I'm telling you, you're getting there.
01:03:30Well done.
01:03:31Right.
01:03:31Carrie Ann.
01:03:32I love your love.
01:03:35You guys are just adorable together.
01:03:36Just so beautiful.
01:03:38Okay, but I'm going to talk about the dance a little.
01:03:40It felt disjointed to me.
01:03:42There were moments where it felt like you were getting into the proper hold and the proper
01:03:45frame, and then it sort of would collapse.
01:03:47It felt...
01:03:48I want you to also watch Riley a little bit more carefully in rehearsals and match the lines
01:03:53a little bit more.
01:03:54That'll bring you together and make you feel more like a unit when you're dancing, even if
01:03:57you're side by side, okay?
01:03:59Great job.
01:04:00All right.
01:04:01Love you guys.
01:04:02Head on up to the Sky Locker.
01:04:04All right.
01:04:04Next week, we're celebrating the blockbuster film Wicked and the upcoming Wicked for Good.
01:04:10Our special guest judge is the celebrated director of the movies, John M. Chu.
01:04:16Ooh.
01:04:17Oh, it's going to be thrill-ifying.
01:04:19Oh, my goodness.
01:04:22Can we just put the dancing aside for one second and just say congratulations?
01:04:27How excited are you to be a dad?
01:04:32I'm so excited.
01:04:33I just can't wait to raise a little baby with my favorite person in the world, Mark.
01:04:36It's going to be the greatest joy of my life.
01:04:39Well, speaking of Mark being your favorite person in the world, I think he's all of our
01:04:43favorite person in the world.
01:04:45What has it been like with him coming into your life?
01:04:48Oh, man.
01:04:49Everything changed when Mark came into my life.
01:04:51He is my love, my peace, my laughter.
01:04:53He's the truest form of love I've ever encountered.
01:04:56And I'm just, like, so proud to be his husband.
01:04:59Yeah.
01:05:00We love you, Mark.
01:05:01Let's get your scores.
01:05:02That is a 30 out of 40 for Scott and Riley, which means that are your, those are your best
01:05:22scores of the season.
01:05:24All right.
01:05:24Well, you can help them stay in the competition when you text and vote online at abc.com.
01:05:29Voting closes after the final competitive dance of the night.
01:05:32Alfonso.
01:05:33All right.
01:05:33Thanks, Julianne.
01:05:34Next up, our star from Boy Meets World dedicates her routine to a co-star who changed her life,
01:05:40Mr. Feeney himself, Bill Daniels.
01:05:43Danielle Fischl and Pasha Paschka perform when we come back live.
01:05:54But that don't change when I break down.
01:05:57We want to talk about the same time.
01:06:00Oh, a fantastic performance choreographed by Brandon.
01:06:30Woo!
01:06:32Yeah.
01:06:33Welcome back.
01:06:34If you haven't purchased tickets to see our pros touring live this winter, Emma, our beautiful
01:06:39co-host of the tour, has an exciting announcement.
01:06:42Yes, I do.
01:06:43We've been selling tickets so fast that we've already added more shows, including a second
01:06:49one at the iconic Radio City Music Hall.
01:06:51Free sales for the new dates start Thursday, so go to dwtstour.com for all the details.
01:06:57Trust me, you do not want to miss the chance to see it.
01:06:59That's right.
01:07:00I'm going.
01:07:01I'm going.
01:07:01All right.
01:07:02Next up, our actress and director dedicates a jive to her Boy Meets World co-star.
01:07:07It's Danielle Fischl and her partner, Pasha Paschka.
01:07:11Yay!
01:07:12I just love seeing your personality come through.
01:07:17You're so wonderful to watch.
01:07:18Seven!
01:07:19Consistency.
01:07:20Exactly.
01:07:22We made it.
01:07:23We made it.
01:07:23Yay!
01:07:24But I think there should have been an eight.
01:07:26It's just going to make our first eight that all the more sweet.
01:07:29Who are you dedicating this dance to?
01:07:30William Daniels, better known as Mr. Feeney.
01:07:33Thanks, Mr. Feeney.
01:07:35My door is always open to my students.
01:07:37He's just somebody I have looked up to as a man, as an actor, as a professional.
01:07:43What was it like entering that set at 12 years old?
01:07:47It was intimidating.
01:07:49But Bill, who had already won two Emmys, treated me like I deserve all the respect in the world
01:07:55as a fellow actor.
01:07:56Wow.
01:07:56I don't think I would have been the professional that I am today without being able to have
01:08:01watched him all those years.
01:08:02Mr. Feeney and Topanga have a moment in the finale where we say goodbye.
01:08:07We did it one time, and all of that was real.
01:08:11I will never forget you.
01:08:13It's been over 30 years since we met, and I know how proud he is of me.
01:08:18He really means a lot to me.
01:08:20This is an emotional night, but if Danielle can keep up with the pace of the drive and
01:08:25the intensity of it, and two, that's it.
01:08:27I think we can get our first eight.
01:08:30And there you are!
01:08:32You did it!
01:08:33Thank you so much for doing this.
01:08:36I feel honored to dedicate a dance to you.
01:08:40How proud are you of Danielle?
01:08:41I'm very proud of Danielle for all she's doing.
01:08:45It's a pleasure watching you.
01:08:47Thank you, Bill.
01:08:49I love you guys so much.
01:08:50Okay, honey.
01:08:51Bye-bye.
01:08:52Bye.
01:08:53This dance is for you, Mr. Feeney.
01:08:56Thank you for always showing up, even when the cameras stopped rolling.
01:09:00Amazing.
01:09:03Dancing the jive.
01:09:05With her partner, Pasha Pashkov, it's Danielle Fischel.
01:09:08Running down this road that we call life is what we're doing.
01:09:18Good to know I have friends who will always stand by me.
01:09:23When this boy means world, the boy means world.
01:09:30This boy means world, the boy means world.
01:09:37I'll meet you down at the bus stop back down to school.
01:09:41But don't be late now.
01:09:43I never thought I would find someone who's so cool.
01:09:48You know it's, it's gotta be you.
01:09:52When this boy means world, the boy means world.
01:10:11This boy means world, the boy means world.
01:10:22Danielle and Pasha with a jive with her co-star and friend.
01:10:33Thank you, Bill.
01:10:35We so appreciate you, Bill.
01:10:37Thanks for being here with us.
01:10:39They're loving you guys.
01:10:41So good.
01:10:42Come on.
01:10:43Yes, yes.
01:10:45Kim, take it away.
01:10:46Well, I think that made everyone's nostalgic hearts very happy.
01:10:49That was so beautiful.
01:10:50You still look like a teenager, by the way.
01:10:52Seriously, I don't know how that is possible, but you do.
01:10:55There was so much jive content in there.
01:10:57I would have liked to have seen your weight a little further over the balls of your feet.
01:11:00You are very effortless when you dance, which is lovely.
01:11:03But I feel like you could have a little bit more attack, especially in your extensions.
01:11:07One quick tip.
01:11:08Grab a pen when you're practicing by yourself.
01:11:10Put it between your fingers.
01:11:11That gives you an instant dance to hand.
01:11:12And it gets the energy right, you know, in the right place.
01:11:16So it gets right to the ends of the fingertips.
01:11:19Love that.
01:11:19Yeah, a little tip.
01:11:20I love that.
01:11:21They were both like, ooh, ooh, okay, Bruno.
01:11:26Oh, well, I know what you're doing.
01:11:28You're pitching Boy Meets World.
01:11:31The musical.
01:11:32Because, don't you think?
01:11:35Yes.
01:11:35It was such a wonderful number.
01:11:37It had all the structures, all the storylines.
01:11:40You're a great performer.
01:11:42I love it very much.
01:11:43Yes, you have to sharpen a little bit the edges.
01:11:45You know, when you do these flicks, the retraction has to be a little bit sharper.
01:11:50But I'm telling you, I absolutely loved it.
01:11:53Okay, real quick, Carrie-Anne and Kim, lock in your scores.
01:11:57Oh, my gosh.
01:11:58Sorry.
01:11:59And then, Carrie-Anne, when you're ready, take it away.
01:12:01Okay.
01:12:02So much to do.
01:12:03All right.
01:12:04Okay.
01:12:05Um, that was so nostalgic.
01:12:07And, like, it's kind of what we all needed at this moment in this time.
01:12:10I love the throwback.
01:12:12Okay, but there's, I have to say this.
01:12:17Some of your dancers are starting to feel like I'm watching the same dance over and over again.
01:12:21And I know that sounds really critical.
01:12:23But if I don't give the comments now, she can't work on this.
01:12:27And I want you to have the best chance for success.
01:12:30So I'm bringing it up now.
01:12:31Try to give a little bit more variety as far as dynamics and a little bit.
01:12:35This is also on you, Pasha, okay?
01:12:36Together, as a team.
01:12:38Okay.
01:12:38All right.
01:12:39It's okay.
01:12:39You can fool me.
01:12:40I can handle it.
01:12:43Well, I have no more time left.
01:12:46But what I'll say.
01:12:47What number?
01:12:47No.
01:12:48Is that it was lively.
01:12:50It was light.
01:12:50It was lovable.
01:12:51And it was a proper jive, by the way.
01:12:53That was really great.
01:12:56I love, as well, how you honored one of your mentors.
01:13:00I think it's so important to have mentors in our lives.
01:13:01You know, they make our lives go further, faster, and with more purpose.
01:13:05And so I think that's beautiful.
01:13:06Beautiful, wonderful jive.
01:13:08All right.
01:13:09All right.
01:13:09Head on up to the skybox.
01:13:10Fantastic, fantastic.
01:13:12The final dance of the night is on the way.
01:13:14Alex Earle dedicates a contemporary routine to her sister, Isabel.
01:13:18They'll dance with Valjomir Kosti in just minutes.
01:13:21Julianne.
01:13:23Thanks, Alfonso.
01:13:25All right.
01:13:26Get on over here.
01:13:27The nostalgia, the wholesomeness of that dance was so fun.
01:13:30After that experience, how much fun did you just have?
01:13:37That's what we want to know.
01:13:38I'm always having so much fun.
01:13:41Sometimes I think I have so much fun, I forget that I'm supposed to be dancing.
01:13:46So that much fun.
01:13:48Well, you're having fun.
01:13:49You're dancing.
01:13:50Why don't we get your scores when we come back?
01:13:52Welcome back.
01:14:04Before the break, Danielle and Pasha performed a jive that Kim said made everyone's nostalgic heart happy.
01:14:11Let's get their scores.
01:14:14Carrie-Anne Inabe.
01:14:15Seven.
01:14:17Derek Huff.
01:14:18Seven.
01:14:20Kim Johnson.
01:14:21Seven.
01:14:23Bruno Toggioli.
01:14:24Great number.
01:14:26Eight.
01:14:27Yes, you got your first eight.
01:14:30How do you feel?
01:14:32I'm so happy.
01:14:35All right.
01:14:36Well, that is Danielle and Pasha.
01:14:38If their dance brought back the fun of watching Boy Meets World, vote for them.
01:14:44Alfonso.
01:14:44All right.
01:14:45Thanks, Julie Gann.
01:14:46We've come to the final dance of the night.
01:14:48To perform it, our social media personality dedicates a contemporary routine to her sister, Isabel.
01:14:54It's Alex Earle and her partner, Val Smirkovsky.
01:14:59What up, champ?
01:15:01High scores of the season.
01:15:02I know.
01:15:02I'm so excited.
01:15:03I want to keep building on that.
01:15:05It was dance as storytelling, and you became someone else.
01:15:10Eight.
01:15:13This week, you get to dedicate this performance to someone special in your life.
01:15:17To my little sister, Isabel.
01:15:18My parents got divorced when I was 10 years old.
01:15:21And two years later, when I found out that my dad was having a kid with someone else, I didn't want it.
01:15:27I couldn't understand it.
01:15:28It's got to be a hollowing feeling.
01:15:31I remember us sitting around the family dinner table, and my sister and I just broke into tears.
01:15:36But then my stepmom handed me Isabel, and I held her for the first time.
01:15:40And, oh gosh, here come the tears.
01:15:44She really changed my perspective on what family means.
01:15:48So I really give Isabel so much credit for blending our family together, and she's going to kill it in the dance.
01:15:55You can do you justice.
01:15:56You will.
01:15:58I can't believe you're here doing this.
01:15:59I can't believe I'm here, and I can't believe you're here with me.
01:16:02I feel like Alex is sharing a really powerful story.
01:16:04Like a little baby.
01:16:05Yeah, so our approach to our contemporary this week is going to be to invest her soul and heart into every fiber of this choreography.
01:16:14This is a moment of, like, you looking up to your big sister.
01:16:17Okay.
01:16:17I feel honored to be in Alex and Bella's dance because Alex is the coolest big sister that I could ever have.
01:16:23The closer you are to her body, the easier for her to live.
01:16:27When we dance together, I feel the spark that brought our family back to life.
01:16:31Yes.
01:16:31Beautiful.
01:16:32Tonight we get to show that on the dance floor.
01:16:35Val has the chills.
01:16:36Oh.
01:16:40Dancing Contemporary with her partner Val Jmerkovsky, it's Alex Earl.
01:16:44But I promise you this.
01:17:01I'll always look out for you.
01:17:06That's what I do.
01:17:11You say, oh.
01:17:16Oh, oh, oh.
01:17:19Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:17:25Cry, oh.
01:17:30Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:17:32I saw a spark
01:17:37Yeah, I saw a spark
01:17:43Sing it out
01:17:47La la la la
01:17:50La la la la
01:17:55Alex and Val joined by her sister, Isabel.
01:18:08That was the final dance of the night.
01:18:11Voting will be closing soon.
01:18:15Yes, they're loving you.
01:18:17Isabel, how much fun was it
01:18:20to be able to dance with your big sister?
01:18:23Anything I do with Alex is always just, like,
01:18:24the best time ever, and I'm so happy
01:18:26I got to do this with her.
01:18:29Beautiful.
01:18:30All right, Bruno, take it away.
01:18:32My love, talent and love
01:18:34really runs in the family.
01:18:36And I'm telling you, this, I,
01:18:38honestly, this routine was so difficult.
01:18:41Technically, you made it look so easy.
01:18:44You made it look natural.
01:18:46You're really, you were dancing
01:18:48from within with
01:18:50no effort at all.
01:18:52That is the hardest thing to do.
01:18:54You did it.
01:18:55All right, Carrie Ann.
01:18:58Alex, thank you for sharing this story.
01:19:00And I can tell you are just like that healing child
01:19:03that comes into the family.
01:19:04I can feel it.
01:19:05It's, you're, you're radiant.
01:19:06It was really beautiful to watch you guys dance together.
01:19:09Um, okay, Alex, watch, there's a tiny correction.
01:19:12Watch your arms when you turn.
01:19:13Sometimes they just hit a strange shape
01:19:15just on the turns.
01:19:16It's a tiny note, but it's amazing.
01:19:18That was really heartfelt, wonderful.
01:19:20All right, Derek.
01:19:22Alex, you're, you have such a maturity
01:19:25to your movement.
01:19:26There's a part in the routine
01:19:27where you, like, contracted your body,
01:19:29and I was like, wow,
01:19:30it just drew me into the routine.
01:19:31Really, really impressive.
01:19:33Val, the choreography was sensational, my man.
01:19:35Beautiful.
01:19:35Um, you know, there's a lot of, like,
01:19:41for tonight, there's been a lot of, like, negativity,
01:19:43a lot of weird energy and stuff,
01:19:44but what I hope tonight
01:19:45we can all come from this
01:19:46is that it is about love.
01:19:47It is about love.
01:19:49And you represented that tonight,
01:19:50so thank you.
01:19:52We all love love.
01:19:53Kim.
01:19:54Alex, I think you had a different kind of freedom
01:19:56about this routine,
01:19:57and I know it was contemporary,
01:19:58but I think there was a different purpose
01:20:00because you were dancing with your sister.
01:20:01So I take that new inner self-confidence
01:20:04that I think I saw
01:20:05to your future dancers
01:20:06because you, I think,
01:20:08are the surprise of this season.
01:20:11Beautiful.
