00:00:00You set the green

00:00:09Every time you get from me

00:00:11I want to be your way to shine

00:00:15I can't deny

00:00:32From the way that we move

00:00:34You're the lights we can lose

00:00:37You're the lights

00:00:40And look my head

00:00:42And close your eyes

00:00:43And sing it all the way that I breathe

00:00:46And look my head

00:00:47And you're the lights

00:00:49Come and spin me around

00:00:56As you're lost in the sound

00:00:57Close your eyes

00:00:59If you see me from the way that I breathe

00:01:01So far and I can't stop that tonight

00:01:46You're the light, you're the light

00:01:48You can see me by the way that I'm in the sky

00:01:51And I think you're the light tonight

00:01:58You're the light, you're the light

00:02:01You're the light, you're the light

00:02:23You're the light tonight

00:02:31Live from Hollywood, it's the season premiere of Dancing with the Stars.

00:02:49That's how to set off the new season of Dancing with the Stars.

00:02:54I'm Alfonso Ribeiro.

00:02:55And I'm Julianne Hough.

00:02:56That incredible opening number was choreographed by the one and only Ray Leeper.

00:03:02Yeah, yeah.

00:03:04And it's great to have all of you at home joining us in the ballroom.

00:03:08And wonderful to see our judges.

00:03:12Well, two of them.

00:03:15Carrie Ann is under the weather and hopes to be back with us next week.

00:03:19Get well soon, Carrie Ann.

00:03:20We love you.

00:03:21Yes, we do.

00:03:22But since the show must go on, let's welcome the stars of 2025.

00:03:33Olympic gold medalist Jordan Childs and Ezra Sosin.

00:03:37Reality TV star and content creator Dylan Efron and Daniela Karagosh.

00:03:42Film and TV actress Elaine Hendricks and Alan Burstam.

00:03:46From the secret lives of Mormon wives, Whitney Levitt and Mark Ballas.

00:03:49From the secret lives of Mormon wives, Jen Affleck and Jan Ravnik.

00:04:11Actor and musician Corey Feldman and Jenna Johnson.

00:04:13From Fifth Harmony, singer-songwriter Lauren Horegi and Brandon Armstrong.

00:04:19Comedian Andy Richter and Emma Slater.

00:04:23Author and wellness influencer Ilaria Baldwin and Gleb Savchenko.

00:04:27And wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson.

00:04:30There they are.

00:04:42Fourteen stars and their partners.

00:04:44Among them are stars of sports.

00:04:49Song.

00:04:52Reality.

00:04:55Social media.

00:04:56And of course, Hollywood.

00:05:00Plus, plus a new pro we'll meet in just a little bit.

00:05:05That's right.

00:05:05Well, we have assembled an amazing group to help commemorate our landmark 20th year on the air.

00:05:12Oh, yeah.

00:05:14We will be celebrating with some surprises throughout the coming weeks as we head toward our massive 20th birthday party later this season.

00:05:22Mm-hmm.

00:05:22Our couples are competing for the most sparkling prize ever created, our Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

00:05:31As always, the judges will score the performances.

00:05:35And also, as always, you will have a big say in who becomes our new champion.

00:05:41Voting is open right now and is available to the U.S., its territories, and Canada at ABC.com.

00:05:46Plus, subscribers on participating U.S. phone wireless carriers can text the first name of their favorite star to the number 21523.

00:05:54Message and data rates may apply.

00:05:55You get 10 votes per couple per voting method.

00:05:58That's right.

00:05:59That's right.

00:05:59Now, so you can get to know our stars, we ask them to dance to their anthems, the songs that best express who they are.

00:06:07We'll kick things off with this trailblazing gymnast.

00:06:09It's Olympic gold medalist Jordan Childs and her partner, Ezra Sosa.

00:06:17I am a two-time Olympian and a gold medalist with Team USA Women's Gymnastics team.

00:06:22My teammates did really well in the show, so they have set the bar high, and the expectation is probably even higher.

00:06:31No!

00:06:33Jordan has power.

00:06:35She is spicy, and she's fierce.

00:06:37Those are all things I look for in a partner.

00:06:38What is your anthem?

00:06:40Break my soul.

00:06:41Beyonce.

00:06:42Yes!

00:06:42Here we are.

00:06:43Beyonce, queen of all queens, has been a huge inspiration, and I even got to perform to her music at the Olympics.

00:06:50She actually sent me a signed vinyl.

00:06:52Cowboy Carter.

00:06:53I'm so excited.

00:06:55It's going to be fun.

00:06:55Girl, you're going to own out there.

00:06:57Thanks.

00:06:57Okay, but let's see if you can salsa.

00:06:59Low and low.

00:07:00Right now, she holds herself like a gymnast, but we have to start getting her to believe that she is a dancer.

00:07:05I went too early.

00:07:06It's totally different when you're flipping on a four-inch piece of wood than trying to partner dance, but I'm ready for it.

00:07:12I'm getting it!

00:07:13Yay!

00:07:16Dancing the salsa with her partner Ezra Sosa, it's Jordan Childs.

00:07:21I'm a few.

00:07:23Dang it!

00:07:23I'm not a throw.

00:07:24Take off the show.

00:07:26Turn it around all the time.

00:07:27Let get it.

00:07:28Make a te three!

00:07:29Make a te three!

00:07:30Make a te three!

00:07:32We won't break my soul.

00:07:34We won't break my soul.

00:07:36We won't break our soul.

00:07:38We won't break our soul.

00:07:40ald meat.

00:07:42Everybody.

00:07:43Everybody.

00:07:45I just feel the love.

00:07:47I just quit my job.

00:07:49We're gonna find no drive, damn, it worked me so damn hard

00:07:52The keys in the front and the drums in the back

00:07:54They're taking no flicks, but the whole click snap

00:07:56There's a whole lot of people in the house

00:07:58Trying to smoke with the yank in your mouth

00:08:00I'm building motivation

00:08:02I'm building my own foundation, yeah

00:08:07Oh, baby, baby, you won't break my soul

00:08:10You won't break my soul

00:08:12You won't break my soul

00:08:14What a great way to kick off the season

00:08:30Jordan and Ezra with their salsa

00:08:33Yes

00:08:35You would just bounce it all over the place, girl

00:08:38That was incredible

00:08:40All right, let's hear what the judges have to say

00:08:42Derek, take it away

00:08:43Wow, just right out of the gate

00:08:44All the flips and tricks

00:08:46Fantastic, Jordan

00:08:47Really amazing first dance

00:08:49The side-by-side, giving that Beyonce flair

00:08:51I see you

00:08:52I see, okay, yeah

00:08:53Is this what we're doing now?

00:08:54Okay, that's what we're doing

00:08:56I like it

00:08:57I love it

00:08:58All right, so listen, listen

00:08:59One thing I want to point out a little bit

00:09:00Is I love contemporizing and blending style so much

00:09:03It's kind of my thing

00:09:03I love it

00:09:04But let's be mindful moving forward

00:09:06That we recognize the dancers

00:09:07Keep the integrity of what Latin dancing is

00:09:09I watched the video

00:09:10There's a little bit more content of salsa in there

00:09:11But overall, that was a fantastic dance

00:09:14And Ezra, congrats, man

00:09:15Congrats

00:09:16All right, let's go

00:09:17One more last thing real fast

00:09:21One more last thing real fast

00:09:23Listen

00:09:23Real fast

00:09:24Excuse me

00:09:25Go

00:09:25We're taking it all the time

00:09:27Go

00:09:28No, so the scoring tonight

00:09:29Just be mindful

00:09:30It might be a little bit lower than you're expecting

00:09:32Because there's a long way to go

00:09:33This is a marathon, all right?

00:09:34So we want to make sure that we leave you guys room to grow

00:09:36Just want to point that out

00:09:37Bruno, hit it, bud

00:09:38Okay

00:09:39I'd love to see a little spice girl coming out there

00:09:42But yes

00:09:43Thank you

00:09:44I love the Beyonce references

00:09:46Everybody loves it

00:09:47Now, I'm going to be tough

00:09:48Because, you know

00:09:49You did a lot of things well

00:09:50A few of them

00:09:51Some of the dismounts were a bit wobbly

00:09:53Okay

00:09:54You have to carry the heat motion through the body

00:09:58You can't just hit it

00:09:59You have to express it

00:10:01Okay

00:10:01That's a couple of things you have to work at

00:10:03But very, very good first performance by now

00:10:06Thank you

00:10:06Thank you guys

00:10:08All right, head on up to Julianne in the skybox

00:10:10Since this is everyone's first night on the floor

00:10:13We're being kind

00:10:14There's no elimination tonight

00:10:16However, your votes and the judges' scores

00:10:19From tonight will carry over

00:10:20To next week's first elimination of the season

00:10:23There's a party up there, Julianne

00:10:24Oh, you know it

00:10:25And by the way, this week gets off easy

00:10:27But next week, we're getting serious

00:10:29Okay

00:10:29Jordan, Ezra, first one out the gate

00:10:32Are you feeling a little pressure

00:10:33Starting off the competition?

00:10:35I'm relieved we finished

00:10:36Like, we went first

00:10:37We got it out of the way

00:10:38But honestly

00:10:40It was just so much fun dancing with her

00:10:42I love her

00:10:43Well, speaking of, Jordan

00:10:44Now, you got to choose your anthem

00:10:46And it was to a Beyonce song

00:10:48Which she gave you permission to actually do

00:10:50Yes

00:10:50What do you think Beyonce would have scourged that performance?

00:10:54I probably would think

00:10:56Honestly, she probably would have been just very proud

00:10:58She probably would have known the score system in general

00:11:00But I'm just honored to be able to, you know

00:11:03Be able to dance to her

00:11:04And that she was able to clear that

00:11:05Because she's somebody that I dearly look up to

00:11:08And it was just amazing

00:11:09Oh, we all look up to Beyonce

00:11:11And how is it dancing with Ezra, your partner?

00:11:14Oh my gosh, Ezra is just so amazing

00:11:16You know, being able to give him this opportunity

00:11:19To, you know, dance again

00:11:20And just let him be him

00:11:22I think that's the biggest thing

00:11:23Is his personality

00:11:24But it's

00:11:25Oh, I can't breathe

00:11:26Oh my gosh

00:11:27It's a real thing, everybody

00:11:30Literally

00:11:30It just gives me the opportunity to be myself as well

00:11:33So our connection is very there

00:11:35And I just love him

00:11:35Yes, you guys are such a good match

00:11:37Well, let's see if your match

00:11:39Is equivalent to your scores

00:11:41Derek Hough

00:11:44Great first dance

00:11:45Five

00:11:45Bruno Tognoli

00:11:48Room to grow

00:11:49Five

00:11:49All right

00:11:50That is a 10 out of 20

00:11:52For Jordan and Ezra

00:11:54Tonight

00:11:54Is your chance to meet our stars

00:11:56For the first time

00:11:57And your first chance to vote

00:11:59So choose your favorites

00:12:00And keep them in the competition

00:12:02Alfonso

00:12:03Thanks, Julie Gann

00:12:04I just hope Beyonce is watching

00:12:06She could be watching

00:12:07All right

00:12:08This action-packed season premiere

00:12:09Features some of the most competitive stars ever

00:12:12And they're coming up

00:12:13With their first ever dances

00:12:15Next

00:12:16Reality TV star

00:12:17Dylan Efron

00:12:18And Daniela Kattegach

00:12:19Plus Elaine Hendrix

00:12:20And Alan Burstyn

00:12:21We'll be right back

00:12:23Bye

00:12:23Welcome back to Dancing with the Stars

00:12:36We'll continue our season premiere

00:12:37With a content creator

00:12:39And outdoor enthusiast

00:12:40Who gained global popularity

00:12:42With the hit travel series

00:12:44Down to Earth

00:12:44With Zac Efron

00:12:45It's reality TV star

00:12:47Dylan Efron

00:12:47And his partner

00:12:49Daniella Kattegach

00:12:50You might know me

00:12:54From winning the traitors

00:12:55Or my thirst traps

00:12:56On social media

00:12:57I've done a lot of adrenaline

00:12:58Junkie type things

00:13:00But this experience

00:13:01Is going to raise my heart rate

00:13:03More than anything

00:13:03I've ever done

00:13:04Oh, I'm so happy

00:13:10Oh, my God

00:13:10I'm so happy

00:13:11You're here

00:13:11Do you have

00:13:12Any dance experience?

00:13:14My whole life

00:13:15I've strayed against performing

00:13:17I was my brother's biggest fan

00:13:18He was always the star

00:13:19Always the most charismatic

00:13:21So it's really natural

00:13:22For a younger sibling

00:13:23To stray away from that

00:13:25So I'm excited

00:13:26To do something

00:13:27No one would expect

00:13:28Well, you get to start

00:13:29With Cha-Cha

00:13:29Bend your knees

00:13:30Dylan's biggest challenge

00:13:32Is coming out of his shell

00:13:33And just loosen up

00:13:35A little bit

00:13:35You're losing me

00:13:36With the hips on up

00:13:37I chose Milkshake

00:13:38By Cleese

00:13:38As my anthem

00:13:39Because this moment's

00:13:40All about conquering

00:13:41This fear

00:13:42Of dancing in public

00:13:43Oh, are we really doing this?

00:13:45And what better way

00:13:46To do that

00:13:46Than to just go out there

00:13:47And shake my ass?

00:13:52Dancing the Cha-Cha

00:13:53With his partner

00:13:54Daniella Karagotch

00:13:55It's Dylan Ephron

00:13:57My milkshake brings

00:14:02All the boys to the yard

00:14:03And they're like

00:14:04It's better than yours

00:14:05Yeah, right?

00:14:06It's better than yours

00:14:07I'll teach you

00:14:08But I have to charge

00:14:09I told you I wanted

00:14:10The thing that makes me

00:14:13What the guys go crazy for

00:14:18They lose their minds

00:14:22The way I want

00:14:24I think it's time

00:14:26Warm it up

00:14:30The boys are waiting

00:14:34Warm it up

00:14:39The boys are waiting

00:14:43My milkshake brings

00:14:44All the boys to the yard

00:14:45And they're like

00:14:45It's better than yours

00:14:47Yeah, right?

00:14:48It's better than yours

00:14:49I'll teach you

00:14:50But I have to charge

00:14:56Dylan and Daniella

00:15:02With a Cha-Cha

00:15:03And the ballroom

00:15:06Is on their feet

00:15:07That was awesome

00:15:11My man

00:15:12You were feeling yourself

00:15:14In the beginning

00:15:15I love it

00:15:16I think Bruno

00:15:17Is going to like something here

00:15:18Bruno

00:15:19You go

00:15:20Are you trying to distract me

00:15:22With the pecs appeal

00:15:23It's not working, honey

00:15:26No, it works

00:15:27Your shaking of the butt

00:15:29Was first class

00:15:30This was fake, by the way

00:15:33Don't drink it

00:15:34Because you get poisoned

00:15:35But all I have to say

00:15:37Now, seriously

00:15:38Some moments

00:15:39You were very, very good

00:15:40Like the forward steps

00:15:41With the hip through the legs

00:15:43Then you go completely off

00:15:45You're on and off time

00:15:46All the way through

00:15:47You need to be consistent

00:15:48Yeah?

00:15:49Don't lose it halfway through

00:15:51Keep on the moment

00:15:52But don't go off time

00:15:55There you go

00:15:56Okay

00:15:57Derek

00:15:58Dylan

00:15:58I was

00:16:00I didn't know what to expect

00:16:03I was like

00:16:03Oh my gosh

00:16:04He's got some fluidity

00:16:05In the way he's moving

00:16:06It was really impressive

00:16:07But he's absolutely right

00:16:08The timing

00:16:09You lost the timing

00:16:09In a few places

00:16:10Rushed

00:16:10Got ahead of the music

00:16:11And one other thing

00:16:12I would think about

00:16:14Is Daniella is such

00:16:15A powerful dancer

00:16:16Right?

00:16:17So moving forward

00:16:17I want to see you

00:16:18Step into that leading man

00:16:19Role

00:16:20And not to get overpowered

00:16:22By her

00:16:22So a little more strength

00:16:23A little bit more oomph

00:16:24In some of the dancing

00:16:24Moving forward

00:16:25But overall

00:16:26What a fantastic

00:16:27And surprising first dance

00:16:29Great job

00:16:30Great job, brother

00:16:31Great job

00:16:32Alright, head on up

00:16:32To Julianne in the skybox

00:16:34As we meet

00:16:34Our all new troop

00:16:36Carter

00:16:52And Paley

00:16:53Just keep watching

00:16:55Just keep watching

00:16:58Great job

00:17:01They are so fierce

00:17:02I cannot wait to see

00:17:03What they are going to do

00:17:05For us this season

00:17:06Oh my goodness

00:17:07Okay

00:17:08Dylan, Danny

00:17:09Okay

00:17:10Let's just start

00:17:10From the beginning

00:17:11You had to choose your anthem

00:17:13And you chose

00:17:13Milkshake

00:17:14Please explain

00:17:16I listen to it every morning

00:17:19It's like my morning coffee

00:17:20No, I wanted to do something

00:17:22That was completely not me

00:17:23And just like

00:17:24I've never danced in my life

00:17:25So just do something

00:17:26To shake it up

00:17:26Honestly, seeing you do

00:17:28This little hip bump

00:17:29In front of Derek's face

00:17:29Killed me

00:17:30So you are known

00:17:33To be an adrenaline junkie

00:17:34But how does that compare

00:17:35Dancing live on television

00:17:37Oh, this is way worse

00:17:39My heart's going

00:17:40Through my chest right now

00:17:41But I feel it

00:17:44In the best way possible

00:17:45Well, we love watching it

00:17:46Danny

00:17:47Your smile on your face

00:17:48Says it all

00:17:48Let's get your scores

00:17:50Derek Huff

00:17:52Five

00:17:54Bruno Toyo

00:17:56Five

00:17:57All right

00:17:58That's a 10 out of 20

00:17:59For Dylan and Daniela

00:18:01Over the last 20 years

00:18:03You at home

00:18:04Have helped us name

00:18:0533 champions

00:18:06You can do it again

00:18:07This season

00:18:08When you vote

00:18:09For your favorites

00:18:10Alfonso

00:18:10Oh, I love it

00:18:11Thanks, Julian

00:18:12There's a whole lot

00:18:12Of back and forth

00:18:13Happening down here

00:18:14With the audience

00:18:14They're already pissed

00:18:15At these scores

00:18:16All right

00:18:17Our next star

00:18:18Is best known

00:18:19For her unforgettable roles

00:18:20In Disney's

00:18:21The Parent Trap

00:18:22And Dynasty

00:18:23It's film and TV actress

00:18:25Elaine Hendrix

00:18:26And her partner

00:18:27Alan Burstyn

00:18:28The dance studio

00:18:31And stage

00:18:33Was certainly

00:18:33My first love

00:18:34I'm an actress

00:18:36Being young and beautiful

00:18:37Is not a crime, you know

00:18:38But I started my career

00:18:40As a professional dancer

00:18:41So I want to sweat

00:18:43I want the blisters

00:18:44Bring it on

00:18:45I brought you a gift

00:18:53It's champagne

00:18:54That we're gonna drink

00:18:55When we win

00:18:55I'm so excited

00:18:56To be partnered with Elaine

00:18:57Because her energy

00:18:58Is infectious

00:18:59I actually started

00:19:01My career

00:19:02As a dancer

00:19:03Just no ballroom

00:19:04Why did you stop dancing?

00:19:06I was hit by a car

00:19:07And I'm really lucky

00:19:10That I walked away from it

00:19:11The reality is

00:19:12I don't know

00:19:13If I can do this

00:19:14Our first dance

00:19:15Is the cha-cha

00:19:16I close my eyes

00:19:17And I imagine

00:19:18I'm still 21 years old

00:19:20One, two

00:19:21Too much

00:19:22But my body

00:19:24Might have

00:19:25Different plans

00:19:26Good job

00:19:27Dancing the cha-cha

00:19:31With her partner

00:19:32Alan Burstyn

00:19:33It's Elaine Hendricks

00:19:34I buy my own things

00:19:39I pay my own bills

00:19:41Keep these diamond rings

00:19:43My own old bills

00:19:45Everything I got

00:19:47I bought it

00:19:48Boys can't buy my love

00:19:50Buy my love

00:19:52I'm a mother, mother

00:19:54One, baby

00:19:55All right

00:19:57I don't need a man

00:19:59To be holding me so tight

00:20:01I'm a mother

00:20:02One, baby

00:20:04That's right

00:20:15Oh, yeah

00:20:19Somebody can't love me

00:20:20Oh, don't know

00:20:23You don't know

00:20:24I'm a mother, mother

00:20:29Baby, oh, yeah

00:20:32I don't need a man

00:20:34You be holding me too tight

00:20:36I'm a mother, mother

00:21:03You are amazing

00:21:06You are

00:21:07Your performance

00:21:09You have this, like, Broadway quality to your dancing

00:21:13It is so mesmerizing

00:21:14That was amazing

00:21:15Okay, a few things

00:21:16A few things

00:21:16Arms

00:21:17You've got to finish the arms

00:21:18All the way to the end, okay

00:21:19Straighten the back

00:21:20The back of your knee

00:21:21To get that nice, straight leg

00:21:22Just finish your movements off

00:21:24But, oh, my goodness

00:21:26What a great first dance

00:21:27Listen

00:21:28Elaine, your journey for reclaiming dance

00:21:30Has officially begun tonight

00:21:32Bruno, oh, right on my street

00:21:38Sassy, sexy, yet classy

00:21:42You played it so well

00:21:44I could see all the nuances in your performance

00:21:46He's absolutely right

00:21:47You have to finish the movement a little bit more cleanly

00:21:50Careful with your shoulders

00:21:53You know that

00:21:54Because that will kind of

00:21:56Well, it helps

00:21:57You know what I'm talking about

00:21:59Anyway, he's absolutely right

00:22:01Great performance

00:22:02Great potential

00:22:39Since you have danced

00:22:40The real of it is

00:22:41Is that I haven't

00:22:42I've never done ballroom

00:22:43And I haven't actually trained

00:22:44In a studio in like 30 years

00:23:02It's like

00:23:02I want to prove to myself

00:23:03And I want to prove to other women

00:23:05That like age is just a number

00:23:07It doesn't matter

00:23:09That's what I'm talking about

00:23:10Okay

00:24:58Full circle moment right now

00:25:00So tell me about TikTok

00:25:01When I first became a mom

00:25:02I met other women on TikTok

00:25:04We created this group called Mom Talk

00:25:06And then we got the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

00:25:08My friend is also on the show

00:25:10Jen Affleck

00:25:11We're gonna want to push each other

00:25:12But we're also gonna want to beat each other

00:25:14Is there like a little rivalry?

00:25:15Of course there is

00:25:16Why don't we play with a bit of the tango

00:25:19TikTok dances are 15 seconds maybe

00:25:22Here we're doing one minute to one minute 30

00:27:21Emily tonight

00:27:22I mean, I'm sorry

00:27:24It's not just me

00:27:25It's like watching Emily Blunt

00:27:26You're acting

00:27:27Not just the dancing

00:27:28The old performance was incredible

00:27:30Elegant

00:27:31The attitude was perfect

00:27:32The content

00:27:33Thank you, Mark

00:27:34A fantastic tango

00:27:36As it should be

00:27:37No messing around

00:27:39Very, very, very high quality

00:27:42Can't wait to see you again, Emily

00:27:44I'm sure it won't be the support

00:27:46Her name is Whitney

00:27:48Okay

00:27:49All right

00:27:49Derek

00:27:50No, it's Whitney

00:27:51Sorry

00:27:51Listen

00:27:52First of all

00:27:54I love that song so much

00:27:56So I was kind of lost in the music

00:27:57I was like

00:27:57Yes

00:27:58You could have summoned the golden Han moon

00:28:01If anybody knows what that means

00:28:02You know what it means

00:28:03Okay

00:28:03I don't know what to say

00:28:06That was so beautiful

00:28:07The neckline

00:28:07The poise

00:28:08The resistance to the body

00:28:10And that oversway

00:28:10The pivots

00:28:11So beautiful

00:28:12Of course

00:28:13Keep an eye out

00:28:14Maintain the frame

00:28:15A little more consistent

00:28:16If Carrie-Anne was here tonight

00:28:18She would have absolutely

00:28:19Loved that routine

00:29:17Whose idea

00:29:18This is your anthem

00:29:18Where did that come from

00:29:20I watched it with my kids

00:29:22And I fell in love with it

00:29:23I loved it

00:29:31Actually went to rival

00:29:33Dance studios

00:29:34Back in the day

00:29:35Did you compete

00:29:36Against each other?

00:29:37Oh my goodness

00:29:38Wow

00:29:39Back at it

00:31:26May have retired

00:31:27From the court

00:31:28But he's busier than ever

00:31:30A producer

00:31:31Director

00:31:32Writer

00:31:33Analyst

00:31:34And content creator

00:31:40NBA All-Star

00:37:05Going on a little date

00:37:06So I'm trying to look

00:37:07Snatch

00:37:08The last two years

00:37:09Have been insane

00:37:11I was in a movie

00:37:11And a Superbowl commercial

00:37:13But no one has seen

00:37:14My competitive side yet

00:37:16It's about to go down

00:37:18Hi

00:37:30But I was like

00:37:31What is your dance experience

00:37:34Dance was my sport growing up

00:37:36I actually tried starting out

00:37:38On TikTok by dancing

00:37:40And that got me nowhere

00:37:41This is like a dream come true

00:37:42Boom

00:37:43I like this one

00:37:44Cha-cha is action packed

00:37:46This is very overwhelming for her

00:37:49What am I doing wrong

00:37:50Not following me

00:37:52My 10 year old self

00:37:53Would be floored

00:37:54I'm lost

00:37:55That's fine

00:37:56So I hope I'm able to make her proud

00:37:58Boom

00:37:59Nice

00:37:59Dancing the cha-cha

00:38:04With her partner Val Jmerkovsky

00:38:06It's Alex Earl

00:38:08There's only two types of people in the world

00:38:17Women's that they're the team

00:38:20And the ones that I'm saying

00:38:21Well baby I'm not good on a shit kind of girl

00:38:25Don't let the backseat

00:38:28You better be first

00:38:29I'm like the union leader

00:38:32I call the shots

00:38:33I'm like this guy

00:39:33Because you did very very well my darling

00:39:35And you got the legs for it

00:39:37Come on

00:39:38Look at this girl

00:39:39Stunning

00:39:40You look great

00:39:41You did everything you had to do

00:39:43You gave you a very difficult routine

00:39:44That's a tiny little thing

00:39:45You know when you dance

00:39:46It's not just like hitting one move

00:39:49The other move

00:39:50It's the fluency

00:39:51And the continuity

00:39:53And the connection

00:39:54Yeah

00:39:55Always remember

00:39:56It's like playing a scene

00:39:57You have to play off your partner

00:39:59Don't stand only in your world

00:40:02Your world does encompass everyone in here

00:40:05You have projection

00:40:06Sorry

00:40:07But that's true

00:40:08You translated

00:40:08Derek

00:40:09Well listen

00:40:11The good thing about this

00:40:12Is that

00:40:13Kiryan isn't here

00:40:14So I can get a little further away from Bruno

00:40:15Wonderful

00:40:17Well listen

00:40:18Oh no I'm in the dark

00:40:18Let me find my light

00:40:19Listen

00:40:20Sharp

00:40:21Clean

00:40:22Precise

00:40:22Powerful

00:40:23That was a really

00:40:25Really impressive first dance

00:40:26Truly

00:40:27Guys

00:40:28Not an easy routine

00:40:29The confidence

00:40:30The strength

00:40:30Just one little note

00:40:32Just be careful

00:40:32That the precision

00:40:33Doesn't turn into stiffness

00:40:34Sometimes it can get a little rigid up here

00:40:35But other than that

00:40:36Great first dance

00:40:38Beautiful

00:40:39Beautiful

00:40:39Head on up to the skybox

00:40:41For your scores

00:40:42Alright

00:40:42If you haven't

00:40:43Been taking notes

00:40:44We've been doing it for you

00:40:46Let's check out the judges leaderboard

00:40:48After the first five couples

00:40:49At the top for now

00:40:51Are Whitney and Mark with 15

00:40:52And in a three way tie at the bottom

00:40:55Also for now

00:40:56Are Baron and Britt

00:40:57Dylan and Daniela

00:40:58And Jordan and Ezra with 10

00:40:59Alex and Val

00:41:00Are anxious to find out where they will land

00:41:03Juliet

00:41:03Yeah and they are right here

00:41:05Okay so Alex

00:41:06I gotta know

00:41:07You got your start

00:41:08By filming videos

00:41:10In the privacy of your own home

00:41:11And now you are here

00:41:13In front of a live audience

00:41:14In front of millions of people

00:41:15Watching right now

00:41:16How do you feel

00:41:17And how does that compare

00:41:18I mean it's really exciting

00:41:19It's something I've always

00:41:20Dreamed of doing

00:41:21I think you know

00:41:22I just kind of try to ignore

00:41:23All the cameras

00:41:24That are moving around here

00:41:25But I think like

00:41:26The one thing that carries through

00:41:27Is just me being myself

00:41:29In both scenarios

00:41:29And try to keep that

00:41:31Authenticity with it

00:41:32Authenticity is key

00:41:33Let's get your scores

00:41:34Derek Hough

00:42:04Live

00:42:09Welcome back

00:42:14Next up

00:42:15An award winning singer

00:42:16Songwriter and producer

00:42:17Who has sold more than

00:42:1813 million albums

00:42:20From Pentatonix

00:42:21It's Grammy winner

00:42:22Scott Hoying

00:42:22And his partner

00:42:23Riley Arnold

00:42:24People might know me

00:42:28From the Grammy winning

00:42:29Acapella group

00:42:30Pentatonix

00:42:30I made a career

00:42:33Out of singing

00:42:33So now it's time

00:42:34To dance

00:42:35On the stage

00:42:35To pass up

00:42:36I am so excited

00:42:45To have Riley

00:42:46I love her choreography

00:42:47I'm such a fan

00:42:48Why did you want

00:42:49To do Dancing

00:42:49With the Stars

00:42:50I just love the show

00:42:51And I'm always afraid

00:42:52To dance

00:42:53Or I do acapella

00:42:53And you can't really

00:42:54Dance because you're

00:42:55Singing so much

00:42:55Singing is something

00:42:56I'm very comfortable with

00:42:57But dancing feels

00:42:58A lot more vulnerable

00:42:59For tango

00:43:00It's done in frame

00:43:01Singing in a group

00:43:02Gives you a little bit

00:43:03Of a cushion

00:43:03Keep those elbows up

00:43:04It's gonna be a problem

00:43:05But with this tango

00:43:06He's gotta get used to

00:43:07Performing on his own

00:43:08So much to think about

00:43:09I am dancing to

00:43:10Abracadabra by Lady Gaga

00:43:12Because my husband and I

00:43:13Did an Abracadabra

00:43:14TikTok

00:43:14And she commented

00:43:15This is so sweet

00:43:16I know

00:43:17So we went and got

00:43:18The comment framed

00:43:19So hopefully we get

00:43:20Another comment

00:43:20Want to make Gaga proud

00:43:22Dancing the tango

00:43:26With his partner

00:43:28Riley Arnold

00:43:28It's Scott Hoying

00:43:30And we'll see you next time

00:43:31And we'll see you next time

00:43:33And we'll see you next time

00:43:35Abracadabra

00:43:37Abracadabra

00:43:39Pay the toll

00:43:45To the angels

00:43:46Drawing circles

00:43:48In the clouds

00:43:50Hold me in your heart tonight

00:43:54In the magic of the dark blue light

00:43:58Save me from this empty fight

00:44:03In the game of life

00:44:06Abracadabra

00:44:08I want ooh-na-na

00:44:09Abracadabra

00:44:11Watch out ooh-na-na

00:44:13Abracadabra

00:44:15Abracadabra

00:44:16Abracadabra

00:44:17And I told you to save

00:44:20Death or love tonight

00:44:59Now listen

00:45:00Ballroom

00:45:01What makes ballroom

00:45:01So beautiful

00:45:02Is the discipline of it

00:45:03Right

00:45:03That left arm

00:45:04Was all over the joint

00:45:05The right one

00:45:06Is turned in

00:45:07We gotta get

00:45:23Lady Gaga

00:45:23I mean I'm the greatest fan

00:45:25Nevertheless

00:45:25This is a tango

00:45:26There should be more tango

00:45:28In it

00:45:28And when you do it

00:45:29It's absolutely right

00:45:30You have to refine

00:45:31Yeah

00:45:32Refine what you do

00:45:33Because it's a little bit messy

00:45:34That's the truth

00:47:06Topanga's first love

00:47:07I knew it the minute

00:47:08I kissed him

00:47:08But I'm hoping

00:47:09Dancing will be

00:47:10My perfect match

00:47:11Having just survived cancer

00:47:13This is my year

00:47:15Of yes

00:47:16And so

00:47:17Dancing with the Stars

00:47:18Was one of my biggest yeses

00:47:20I'm so happy

00:47:25Anybody who's ever

00:47:27Danced with Pasha

00:47:28Raves about him

00:47:30So I'm in good hands

00:47:31Do you have

00:47:32Any dance experience

00:47:33No I don't

00:47:34You don't

00:47:34Okay

00:47:35One advantage

00:47:35I might have

00:47:36Is I have been

00:47:37Performing 30 plus years

00:47:39And I don't know

00:47:40How many of the other

00:47:41Younger cast members

00:47:53This song really took on

00:47:54A whole new meaning

00:47:55Cut

00:47:57Is going to be pretty emotional

00:48:00Dancing with the tango

00:52:50He's good enough for me

00:52:51So what is your

00:52:52Dance experience

00:52:53What led me to reality TV

00:52:55In the first place

00:52:55Was me dancing

00:52:56I'm no professional

00:52:57But I am Latina

00:52:59Love it

00:53:00I've got the salsa moves

00:53:02Let's dance

00:53:03What I want to see

00:53:04For this salsa

00:53:05Is being very feminine

00:53:07Sexy

00:53:08And I think

00:53:09And I think

00:53:09She got that

00:53:10Don't be a dead fish

00:53:11My anthem is

00:53:12Mueva Yol

00:53:13By Bad Bunny

00:53:13I want to be embraced

00:53:16Being Latina

00:53:17And it's going to bring

00:53:18That out in me

00:53:19And I'm really excited

00:53:20Absolutely

00:53:21Dancing the salsa

00:53:26With her partner

00:53:27Jan Ravnick

00:53:28It's Jen Affleck

00:53:29Mueva Yol

00:53:44To'

00:54:47Very high up there.

00:54:48Yes, it was.

00:54:49Derek, take it away.

00:54:50Well, first of all, I can't believe that you just had a baby a few months ago.

00:54:54Bravo.

00:54:55That is, like, amazing.

00:54:58And Jan, welcome to the show, my friends.

00:55:00Good to see you.

00:55:02Listen, that was a great, great first dance.

00:55:05If I had one note, it would be that.

00:55:07Honestly, I feel like some of the lifts, it actually slowed the routine down a little bit.

00:55:10When you started dancing, I was like, oh, we're in it.

00:55:12We're going.

00:55:13So I think moving forward, just a little bit more dancing, but great, great first dance.

00:55:17Well done.

00:55:18All right, Bruno.

00:55:19Oh, my darling, you'll spend most of the time in the air.

00:55:22I got vertical just watching you.

00:55:25But the thing is, you see, you're good enough not to do that.

00:55:28Go to the steps, because what it does is stops the flow.

00:55:31Once you get into it, go for it, push it, put some welly in it.

00:55:36You know what I mean, darling?

00:55:37Don't keep it all locked in, because you've got it.

00:55:40All right?

00:55:41All right.

00:55:42All right.

00:55:43Great job.

00:55:44Head on up to the skybox for your scores.

00:55:46And in the ballroom for our season premiere, from Good Morning America and our own season

00:55:5222, Ginger Zee.

00:55:53Yes, Ginger.

00:55:55Ginger will take you backstage with our judges and our cast tomorrow morning on GMA.

00:56:01Julianne.

00:56:02Thanks, Alfonso.

00:56:03All right.

00:56:04Well, first of all, I just want to say welcome to the fam, Jan.

00:56:08Thank you so much.

00:56:09I tried to rhyme.

00:56:10That didn't work.

00:56:12Okay, let me get this straight.

00:56:13You had a baby eight weeks ago, and you just did that?

00:56:16Yes.

00:56:17But not only did you have a baby eight weeks ago, you have three babies under three.

00:56:25Yes.

00:56:26Three under three.

00:56:27Yes.

00:56:28I love them.

00:56:29But, like, doing that, how did you feel after just, you know, clearly giving birth and getting

00:56:34out here on the dance floor?

00:56:35What has this experience been like?

00:56:37You know what?

00:56:38It's a lot.

00:56:39My body hurts.

00:56:40I'm still recovering from giving birth, but I'm having so much fun, and I'm doing it

00:56:43for my kids.

00:56:44So, in the future, they can do this, too.

00:56:46Well, it does look like you're having so much fun.

00:56:48You are infectious.

00:56:49Let's get your scores.

00:56:51Derek Huff.

00:56:52Strong.

00:56:53Six.

00:56:54Bruno Tognoli.

00:56:55Six.

00:56:56All right.

00:56:57That's a 12 out of 20 for Jen and Jan.

00:57:02You can't assume any of our stars are safe from our first elimination of the season next

00:57:06week.

00:57:07They all need your votes.

00:57:08Alfonso?

00:57:09Thanks, Julianne.

00:57:10All right, some of our most anticipated stars are still on the way.

00:57:13Corey Feldman and Jenna Johnson will tango when we come back live.

00:57:17Welcome back to Dancing with the Stars.

00:57:26All right, listen to this.

00:57:28We have already passed the total number of votes from last season's premiere, and we've

00:57:33still got more than one half hour to go.

00:57:36Keep voting, people.

00:57:38Looks like we are in for another record-breaking season.

00:57:41Thanks to you.

00:57:42So, keep voting for our stars, all right?

00:57:45Next up, a performer who has acted in more than 100 movies including The Goonies, Stand

00:57:51By Me, and The Lost Boys.

00:57:53He's also scored three Billboard Top 40 hits.

00:57:57It's actor and musician, Corey Feldman and his partner, our reigning champion, Jenna Johnson.

00:58:04Being in the business for 50 years, I could really say I've seen it all.

00:58:08I'll only be young once.

00:58:10As a musician, I love sparkle, but I've never ballroom danced in my life.

00:58:14But I'm going to learn it.

00:58:16Who better to be with than somebody who just won?

00:58:23Strike while the iron is hot, baby!

00:58:25It seems like you already have dance experience.

00:58:28A little bit.

00:58:29Thirteen, I was performing at the Rose Bowl doing Michael Jackson's Bowie Jean.

00:58:33I was very good friends with Alfonso Ribeiro.

00:58:36We used to perform together.

00:58:37No way.

00:58:38But it's been a while.

00:58:39I am yours to train!

00:58:41We're going to attack something.

00:58:43He's groovy.

00:58:46With the Michael Jackson inspo, but tango is all about connection.

00:58:51Chest up?

00:58:52Yeah.

00:58:53Posture is tricky because I have scoliosis.

00:58:55Okay, let me start over here.

00:58:56You have to have this grace about it.

00:58:59So, I have a lot to learn.

00:59:01Look at you go.

00:59:02Dancing the tango with his partner Jenna Johnson.

00:59:07It's Corey Feldman.

00:59:32You can't drench trash until you spend a lot on it.

00:59:36Cause everybody's talking about the news.

00:59:38Sound funny, but you still rock and roll with me.

00:59:43Yeah! Thank you!

00:59:52Everybody!

00:59:53So, everybody's talking about the news.

00:59:55You sound funny, but it's still rock and roll to me.

01:00:04Whoa!

01:00:09Hey!

01:00:13Corey and Jenna with a rock and roll tango!

01:00:17Yes!

01:00:18That's my buddy!

01:00:19Come on buddy!

01:00:21Alright dude!

01:00:23Got that little Michael in there baby!

01:00:25Come on, I see it!

01:00:27Alright!

01:00:29Alright, Bruno,

01:00:31you're putting your personal spin

01:00:33into the interpretation of the tango.

01:00:35He's a tango Jackson, isn't he?

01:00:37He's a tango Jackson, he's a new thing

01:00:39you created. But I have to say

01:00:41honestly, the performance was great.

01:00:43Now work on the technique.

01:00:45Obviously you're a performer, you're an actor, you've got it within you,

01:00:47clean up the technique, right?

01:00:49That's it. Alright, Derek!

01:00:51Corey! Man!

01:00:53You're an absolute Hollywood

01:00:55icon, truly. Some of my favorite films.

01:00:57Seeing you here is

01:00:59really an honor, truly, I mean that.

01:01:01The performance, it was so

01:01:03fun to watch, there's a softness to you.

01:01:05It was really, really amazing to watch. Of course

01:01:07the dancing, the technique,

01:01:09the form, the frame, if we can.

01:01:11There's a lot to work on, but

01:01:13great first dance, really, truly.

01:01:15You can do it!

01:01:17Great dance.

01:01:19Skybox for your scores. Great job, Corey.

01:01:21Alright, again, there's no elimination tonight,

01:01:23so our stars are off the hook.

01:01:25But you're not. Your votes and the judges'

01:01:27scores from tonight will carry over

01:01:29to next week's first elimination

01:01:31of the season. So, vote for your favorite

01:01:33tonight and again next week.

01:01:35Juliette! Thanks, Alfonso!

01:01:37And speaking of

01:01:39Alfonso, Corey,

01:01:41you've known him since you were a teen.

01:01:43Give us the tea. Who's a better dancer?

01:01:45You or Alfonso? Come on.

01:01:47Well, come on now. He's the tap dance kid.

01:01:49You can't argue with that.

01:01:51He was winning Tonys when I was

01:01:53still in Gremlins.

01:01:55Well, you're the

01:01:57comeback king, so I'm just saying.

01:01:59Okay, so you said that you had

01:02:01scoliosis. What is this experience

01:02:03like? Well, you know what? I have to be honest.

01:02:05This is such a reward for me

01:02:07because honestly, I was thinking

01:02:09to myself, how do I

01:02:11make myself better? How do I improve?

01:02:13And when I start hitting my middle age,

01:02:15which is going to happen in like a decade or two,

01:02:17what do I do to improve

01:02:19my form? Because I have

01:02:21terrible posture. I've had it since I was a kid.

01:02:23And this is like a gift.

01:02:25Landing in my lab that is helping

01:02:27me to fix a problem that I've

01:02:29always wanted to better. So, thank you.

01:02:31That's so beautiful, Corey.

01:02:33And, I mean, I believe it.

01:02:35Dance skills. That's for sure.

01:02:37Well, let's get your scores.

01:02:39Derrick Huff.

01:02:41I mean, well, after that, I feel terrible, but

01:02:43love you, buddy. Four.

01:02:45Bruno Tomioli. Five.

01:02:47He's doing his job.

01:02:49That is a nine out of 20

01:02:51for Corey and Jenna.

01:02:53Of course, no one can rely on judges' scores alone

01:02:55to stay in the competition.

01:02:57You have the power to keep your favorites in the game.

01:02:59Voting closes shortly after the final

01:03:01competitive dance of the night. Alfonso.

01:03:03Thanks, Julianne. All right.

01:03:05There are so many more dances to come,

01:03:07including a singer-songwriter

01:03:09who has sold more, check this out,

01:03:11more than 33 million albums worldwide.

01:03:14Fifth Harmony star Lauren Horegi

01:03:16and Brandon Armstrong are up next, live.

01:03:28Welcome back to Dancing with the Stars.

01:03:30Our jam-packed premiere night competition

01:03:32continues with a multi-platinum artist

01:03:34who began as one-fifth of one of the

01:03:36best-selling girl groups of all time.

01:03:38From Fifth Harmony, it's singer-songwriter

01:03:40Lauren Horegi

01:03:42and her partner, Brandon Armstrong.

01:03:46I'm the third member of Fifth Harmony

01:03:48to do Dancing with the Stars.

01:03:50Nirmani and Ali both made it to the finale,

01:03:52so definitely got some shoes to fill,

01:03:54but there's no turning back now

01:03:56unless it's a pivot.

01:03:58Oh!

01:04:00No way!

01:04:01Oh, my God!

01:04:02No way!

01:04:03Hi!

01:04:04Okay, period. We're winning.

01:04:05My partner is a superstar.

01:04:07This season is stacked,

01:04:09but I think I got a player.

01:04:10So what made you decide

01:04:11to do Dancing with the Stars?

01:04:12I've never done ballroom before,

01:04:13so it's such a beautiful opportunity

01:04:15to be able to actually get trained,

01:04:17and I've seen the way the contestants snatch.

01:04:19I'm very in touch with my body,

01:04:21and these dance styles really allow for femininity,

01:04:24and I'm excited to experience that.

01:04:26Tango is low and flat.

01:04:29Tat?

01:04:30Lauren's biggest dance challenge

01:04:31will be the technicality of it.

01:04:33An archback.

01:04:34No!

01:04:35You're in a group.

01:04:36People tend to associate you with said group,

01:04:38but I'm really excited for people

01:04:39to get to know me outside of that.

01:04:41And won.

01:04:42That was the best round yet.

01:04:43Yeah.

01:04:45Dancing with the Tango

01:04:47with her partner, Brandon Armstrong,

01:04:49it's Lauren Horegi.

01:04:56what I think is.

01:04:57You're gonna get a little light

01:04:58and be like,

01:04:59I'm so happy.

01:05:03In case you haven't noticed,

01:05:06you're everybody's tired.

01:05:09and healing from somebody,

01:05:13for some that we don't see just right,

01:05:17What come is what you're left to call

01:05:21Come on and walk this way through the fire

01:05:25And if you find yourself in a dark situation

01:05:30Just turn on your light and be light

01:05:34I feel that you're just

01:05:39I feel that you're just

01:05:47I feel that you're just

01:06:17It was elegant, it was sophisticated

01:06:18It was elegant, there was texture in your movement

01:06:21It was just really beautiful

01:06:23Your frame was consistent throughout

01:06:25It was wonderful

01:06:26One little note if I had to give

01:06:27And I'm blinking red over there

01:06:28Is stick the landing, the last dip

01:06:31Just the legs were a little

01:06:32You know, could have been a little more elongated

01:06:35But overall, holy, you put us all on notice tonight

01:06:38Very, very well done

01:06:42Once you're in full flow

01:06:44You have a wonderful, wonderful fluidity

01:06:46And ease of movement that looks very, very good

01:06:49Don't stop that

01:06:50Because when you stop it

01:06:52The old thing kind of loses its impact

01:06:54And always finish and move cleanly

01:06:57You know, a tiny, tiny little thing

01:07:00But listen, well done

01:07:01Well done

01:07:03Head on up to the skybox

01:07:04So good

01:07:05And as they make their way to Julianne

01:07:12Are Whitney and Mark with 15

01:07:14And at the bottom

01:07:15Are Corey and Jenna with 9

01:07:17Julianne

01:07:18Thanks, Alfonso

01:07:19You know what I love so much about you?

01:07:21You are always cool, calm, and collected

01:07:23Is it because you are a performer for a living

01:07:26That you just come in here with great confidence?

01:07:28Yeah, probably

01:07:29Probably

01:07:31I love the honesty

01:07:33That is so amazing

01:07:34Your authenticity shows

01:07:35Let's just get right to your scores

01:07:38Derek Huff

01:07:41Yeah

01:07:53Don't let them go to waste

01:07:55Use them however you like

01:07:56Alfonso

01:07:57Thanks, Julianne

01:07:58Alright, for three decades

01:07:59Our next star has been making us laugh on TV

01:08:02In movies and on podcasts

01:08:04We'll find out what comedian Andy Richter and Emma Slater

01:08:07Bring to the ballroom when we come back live

01:08:16Welcome back to Dancing with the Stars

01:08:20For many years, our next star lit up late night TV

01:08:23As the right-hand man of Conan O'Brien

01:08:25He's also starred in movies, headline three series

01:08:28And countless sitcom roles

01:08:31It's comedian Andy Richter

01:08:33And his partner, Emma Slater

01:08:34I was Conan O'Brien's sidekick

01:08:39For about three decades

01:08:40But I'm also an actor

01:08:41I somehow managed to be dance avoidant

01:08:44Throughout my entire career

01:08:45The time is up on that, I guess

01:08:48Hello!

01:08:53I got Emma

01:08:54And I feel much better

01:08:56He just seems like a really positive person

01:08:59What do you think you're most nervous for?

01:09:01My legs holding up

01:09:02Some of these people have never looked like idiots on TV

01:09:07That part of it I'm not afraid of

01:09:11Well, no, I should face you

01:09:13Cha-cha-cha

01:09:14Fast footwork might be difficult for Andy

01:09:16Cha-cha

01:09:17But he's giving me so much effort

01:09:19And that's all you can ask for

01:09:21Do it again

01:09:21Look how much that has improved

01:09:23I don't think I'm gonna be the best dancer here

01:09:26There you go

01:09:27But I know how important it is to sell it

01:09:30So I don't mind peacocking

01:09:32Let's do it

01:09:33Yes!

01:09:36Dancing the cha-cha

01:09:37With his partner Emma Slater

01:09:40It's Andy Richter

01:09:41Take two efforts

01:09:52Feel sad

01:09:54Clean on me

01:09:57Oh, the times are bad

01:09:59When the day comes

01:10:01You'll go down

01:10:03And the river trouble

01:10:05And I'm both dropped

01:10:07around

01:10:08Hold on

01:10:09Just hold on

01:10:13Just hold on

01:10:17Just hold on

01:11:04Andy, I love you

01:11:05Cheeky, chappy, offlifting

01:11:08It really was the spirit

01:11:09Of the Cha-Cha-Cha

01:11:11The body of the Cha-Cha-Cha

01:11:13Wasn't quite there

01:11:14Because I mean

01:11:15The timing, timing, timing, timing

01:11:17It was

01:11:18You were in another time zone

01:11:20From Emma

01:11:20In spite

01:11:21Screaming all the way through

01:11:23Listen

01:12:20With the eyebrows

01:12:21I can't even do it

01:12:24I don't know

01:12:25All right

01:12:26Okay

01:13:51I've written books

01:13:53I'm a mom of seven kids

01:13:55And wife to one wild husband

01:13:58Hi

01:14:02I do well with somebody who's really direct

01:14:05Nice to meet you

01:14:07He's gonna be very honest and open with me

01:14:08Do you have any dance experience?

01:14:10I used to be a dancer

01:14:11I had to stop

01:14:12Because I broke my hip all the way through

01:14:14How did that happen?

01:14:15Overuse

01:14:15That's crazy

01:14:17It's crazy

01:14:17Do you know any cha-cha?

01:14:19I can follow along

01:14:19Wait until I

01:14:21No

01:14:21A long time ago

01:14:24With one week to go

01:14:25I'm taking Gleb to New York

01:14:27Where I live

01:14:28Down

01:14:28Yep

01:14:29Hi

01:14:30ZZ

01:14:31Uh-huh

01:14:32I'm so excited to share this experience

01:14:34With my family

01:14:35Sit on to the hip

01:14:36She's a hard worker

01:14:37This was her life

01:14:38Until she got injured

01:14:39So she's just gonna give it everything she has

01:14:41And I'm proud of her

01:14:42Very proud of her

01:14:42I'm struggling

01:14:43It's okay

01:14:44Dance feeds my soul

01:14:46And I like doing physically challenging things

01:14:48I think that's one of the reasons

01:14:49I've had so many kids

01:14:50May I cut in?

01:14:51Yeah, sure

01:14:52Sure

01:14:52Oh, oh

01:14:53Okay

01:14:54I think they hired the wrong Baldwin

01:14:56Dancing the cha-cha

01:14:59With her partner Gleb Savchenko

01:15:01It's Ellaria Baldwin

01:15:03Here we go

01:15:13Let's get loud

01:15:15Let's get loud

01:15:17Turn the music up

01:15:20Let's do it

01:15:20Come on, people

01:15:22Let's get loud

01:15:23Let's get loud

01:15:25Let's get loud

01:15:25Ain't nobody gotta tell you what you gotta do

01:15:30If you wanna live your life

01:15:32Live it all the way

01:15:34Don't you wanna feel it

01:15:35Don't you don't eat like me

01:15:37Don't you waste it

01:15:38Every few and every beat

01:15:40Be so very sweet

01:15:42You gotta taste it

01:15:44You gotta do it, you gotta do it, you gotta do it, you gotta do it, you gotta do it, let's get loud, let's get loud, ain't nobody gotta tell you what you gotta do.

01:16:02Elaria and Glab, they're getting loud for that cha-cha, that's right. Oh, the turns, the twists, the feet, they were fast. Yes, they did it. So good, so good. All right, Derek, take it away.

01:16:22I mean, that was the best cha-cha I have seen from a mother of seven, that's for sure. Wow. That was incredible. I mean, so sharp, so precise. Obviously, you have some Latin dance experience, but, you know, seeing you on this floor, it really just, it makes me so happy to see you come back out here. How does it feel?

01:16:39It's good. I'm very happy. It's very emotional.

01:16:42That's amazing. Well, listen, so happy to have you here. And by the way, I keep seeing my dad, I'm like, wait, never mind, that's Alec, because he looks just like my dad.

01:16:48I think I'm having daddy issues tonight. I'm going to be honest with you. What's going on? I know one thing I know that's going on. You went for it like a fury and you won.

01:17:00I'm telling you, my darling, apart from the precision, the sharpness, the foot placement, delicious, you played with him. You put light and shade into the performance.

01:17:10This is the things I like to see. You know, when you use the dance as a conversation, first time out, I can't wait to see what you're going to do again.

01:17:20Great job. Great job. Head on up to the skybox for your scores.

01:17:24In honor of our 20th year, we've got a lot of surprises, twist turns, and new challenges in the works for this season.

01:17:31And if anyone is up for them, it's this talented cast of competitors.

01:17:35This group is up for the challenge on Ponzo.

01:17:40Ilaria, Clem, I'm going to go off script a little bit, because I saw that you were getting a little emotional downstairs.

01:17:48Where was that emotion coming from?

01:17:49I mean, I said goodbye. I'm sorry, my mouth is so dry.

01:17:54I said goodbye to this 16 years ago, because I broke my hip.

01:17:57So to be here with you, who is like the quality, we're going to do like authentic cha-cha-cha, and it's just a dream come true into this amazing cast.

01:18:07So I'm just so grateful.

01:18:09I love it. Well, let's get your scores.

01:18:13Derek Hough, seven.

01:18:17Bruno Ton-Yung, seven.

01:18:19All right, that's a 14 out of 20 for Ilaria and Gleb.

01:18:23Like all of our couples, they hope that you save some votes for them.

01:18:28Alfonso.

01:18:28All right, thanks, Julianne.

01:18:29The Baldwin family just going nuts over there.

01:18:31It's so great. It's so great.

01:18:32There is one more dance in our season premiere before voting closes.

01:18:36Will our wildlife conservationists tame the judges?

01:18:39We'll find out when Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson try to capture the vibe of the jive live.

01:18:45Welcome back to Dancing with the Stars and the final dance of our season premiere.

01:18:58Ten years ago, this star's sister, Bindi, won the Mirabal Trophy with this guy right here.

01:19:04This guy.

01:19:05It's wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin and his partner, Whitney Carson.

01:19:11Procs are my comfort zone.

01:19:15Go!

01:19:16Dancing is not.

01:19:18Coming to America when my sister, Bindi, won Dancing with the Stars, I thought one day that's going to be me.

01:19:26So being here now, honestly, feels like I'm coming home.

01:19:29What have you been doing?

01:19:42My life has really centered around my mission to be an advocate for the natural world.

01:19:46Legacy has always been such an important part of my life.

01:19:49Hey, thank you for helping me.

01:19:50Not only continuing a legacy that my dad started, but also creating my own.

01:19:55I want to inspire people.

01:19:56We're going to start with some jive.

01:19:58Jive is a really challenging first dance.

01:20:01A one.

01:20:02Sorry, I'll do that again.

01:20:03But his positivity is so fun.

01:20:06To do this dance, you have got to go for it.

01:20:08And that, I know I can do.

01:20:13Dancing the jive with his partner, Whitney Carson, it's Robert Irwin.

01:20:17And that, I know I can do it.

01:20:47Never come down.

01:20:50Born to be alive.

01:20:57Born to be alive.

01:21:01Robert and Whitney closing out the night with that incredible dive.

01:21:27Yes, take it a moment with his sister, Vinny.

01:21:32So wonderful.

01:21:33Great job, brother.

01:21:34Yeah.

01:21:35We just did that.

01:21:37Great job.

01:21:38All right.

01:21:38That's the final dance.

01:21:39Voting will be closing soon.

01:21:41Bruno, take it away.

01:21:42Robert, mate.

01:21:43That wasn't good.

01:21:45It was great.

01:21:45Great.

01:21:48Wow.

01:21:49Wonderful.

01:21:50In the best possible way, your flicks.

01:21:53Kicks and flicks side by side with the pointed feet.

01:21:55Insane.

01:21:56Absolutely brilliant.

01:21:58Again.

01:21:59Can't wait.

01:22:00What are you going to do next?

01:22:01All right.

01:22:01Derek.

01:22:02Honestly, I am so relieved because, listen, you had some big shoes to fill with Bindi,

01:22:07but you didn't just fill them.

01:22:08You owned those shoes, my friend.

01:22:10Have you been practicing?

01:22:13No.

01:22:13You've been practicing for 10 years?

01:22:14No.

01:22:15That was all Whitney.

01:22:16I haven't even moved to music at all in my entire life.

01:22:19That was like probably the best first dance I have ever seen on this show.

01:22:24That was incredible.

01:22:28All right.

01:22:28Hold on, Derek.

01:22:29Hold on now.

01:22:29Hold on.

01:22:30All right.

01:22:31Whatever.

01:22:32It's Whitney now.

01:22:32All right.

01:22:32Listen, y'all head on up while I have that fight with him later.

01:22:35All right.
