00:00:00Dearly beloved
00:00:08We are gathered here today to get through this thing called life
00:00:13Electric word, life, it means forever
00:00:18And that's a mighty long time
00:00:19But I'm here to tell you
00:00:20There's something else
00:00:22So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
00:00:26You know the one
00:00:27I don't want to tell you it'll be alright
00:00:29Consider back to how much of your time is up
00:00:32And see how much of your mind, baby
00:00:34Just a missing life
00:00:35Think so much harder than the grandfamor world
00:00:38This life, you're on your own
00:00:42And if the elevator tries to break you down
00:00:48I'm crazy, what'd you have to do?
00:00:57And if the elevator tries to break you down
00:01:01Give me some life
00:01:03Why'd you live in here?

00:01:08At least you got friends

00:01:13Friendly world

00:01:17Chucked it on the floor

00:02:34Let's go
00:02:35Live from Hollywood
00:02:58It's Prince Night for the semifinals on Dancing with the Stars
00:03:02Oh, we're going crazy for that opening number choreographed by Lu-Am
00:03:22Oh, yeah
00:03:23Welcome to the semifinals and keep it going for our six semifinalists
00:03:30Tonight, they've got to perform two dances to earn a place in next week's season finale
00:03:35Where they will compete for our Len Goodman, Mirror Bob trophy
00:03:39That's right
00:03:40And because it's Prince Night, the dances will be performed to the best loved songs of this musical genius
00:03:47Voting is open right now and is available to the U.S., its territories, and Canada at ABC.com

00:04:02You get 10 votes per couple per voting method
00:04:06All right, now before we get into the competition
00:04:08Let's take a look at the phenomenal career of the legendary artists we're celebrating tonight
00:04:14My name is Prince
00:04:21And I've come to play with you
00:04:26Prince didn't just play music, he embodied it
00:04:38Every note he hit, every step he took, blurred the line between musician and dancer
00:04:52His music fused as many styles as his dance moves
00:04:56Funk met ballet, rock met contemporary
00:04:59And movement became liberation
00:05:02Prince showed us that music isn't just something you hear
00:05:06It's something you feel
00:05:08And tonight, we dance in his honor
00:05:11What a remarkable showman
00:05:21Now, we're presenting the songs of Prince in order
00:05:25So we'll start with a foxtrot to his first major hit single in 1979
00:05:30I want to be your lover
00:05:32It's film and TV actress Elaine Hendrix and Alan Burstead
00:05:36Two weeks ago, you couldn't even dance
00:05:41And here you are, giving it to Fly Girl Moves
00:05:43Well done
00:05:44I wasn't sure if I would make it with nines
00:05:48So I am beside myself that I am in the semifinals
00:05:52Elaine, we made it
00:05:55We made it to the semifinals
00:05:57It's something that I wanted and I've worked so hard for
00:06:00I'm just elated
00:06:01I'm so proud of you
00:06:02Yeah, thanks
00:06:03It is Prince night, which is iconic
00:06:06I grew up on Prince
00:06:08And he was just such a showman
00:06:10He knew how to command the stage
00:06:12All eyes were on him
00:06:14And that's what we've got to do
00:06:15Exactly
00:06:16So I like the idea of stepping into those shoes
00:06:18We've got to get these tens
00:06:19We've got to make it into the finale
00:06:20Yeah, I want that
00:06:22Let's go
00:06:22A little bit more like Prince
00:06:24Elaine and I are going to work hard on everything for this foxtrot
00:06:27The technique, the footwork
00:06:29Elaine's been getting a lot of notes about her shoulders being up in frame
00:06:32Boom, yeah, shoulders down
00:06:33And that's from her pre-existing injuries
00:06:36So if we raise Elaine's chest
00:06:38Hopefully that puts the shoulders down
00:06:40Have strong arms, connect them to your back
00:06:42This performance has to be worthy of Prince
00:06:46And that is no easy task
00:06:48I have to float and fight at the same time
00:06:52Nice
00:06:52Because this is our chance to really bring those scores up
00:06:56And to show exactly what we can do
00:06:58Good job
00:06:58Mads is a semifinalist
00:07:00Dancing the foxtrot
00:07:03With her partner, Alan Burstam
00:07:05It's Elaine Hendricks
00:07:35That's all I'm living for
00:07:39Yeah
00:07:39I'm going to picture you, baby
00:07:44All I ever wanted to do
00:07:48I want to be your lover
00:07:50I want to be the only one that makes you come from me
00:07:56I want to be your lover
00:07:58I'm going to turn you up
00:08:02I'm going to turn you up
00:08:03I'm all alone
00:08:04If you're shy
00:08:05I'm a lover
00:08:06I'm going to be the only one you come from me
00:08:13Oh, Alan and Elaine with a foxtrot too
00:08:22I want to be your lover
00:08:24Oh, everybody's loving that one
00:08:29So good
00:08:31I think you're pretty happy about that
00:08:37All right
00:08:40All right, let's hear what the judges have to say
00:08:42Carrie Ann, you're up
00:08:43Okay, well, Elaine, welcome to the semifinals
00:08:46You deserve this spot so much
00:08:48That was a
00:08:49Feel this audience there going wild for you
00:08:53You are sophisticated, smooth, strong
00:08:56It's just, it's solid, okay
00:08:59But tonight we are looking to see who's going to make it to the finale, right
00:09:03So I'm just, nothing was wrong with the dance
00:09:05I just want to say
00:09:06I would still love to see you just push a little
00:09:08Like I want to see the edges a little bit more
00:09:10Like just push to the edge
00:09:11I feel like you make it look so easy
00:09:13I want to feel like, baby, it's not that easy for y'all
00:09:17That makes sense
00:09:17Okay, all right
00:09:18Derek, Derek
00:09:20Lelaine, you're lovely
00:09:23That was beautiful
00:09:24Truly incredible
00:09:25Foxtrot
00:09:26The way you articulate those feet
00:09:29To get that beautiful rise and fall
00:09:32With that control
00:09:32That is not easy
00:09:33I appreciate that
00:09:34I love that
00:09:34However, I will echo Carrie Ann's statement a little bit
00:09:36Tonight is the semifinal
00:09:37Tonight is about fighting to get into the final
00:09:39Who is going to make it into there
00:09:41So for this next
00:09:41This is your first dance for tonight
00:09:43So that second dance
00:09:44We want to see a little bit more fight, all right
00:09:46But that was a beautiful
00:09:47Fantastic
00:09:48All right, Bruno
00:09:48My darling
00:09:50Radiant as ever
00:09:52And you were very, very flirty tonight
00:09:54As well, weren't you?
00:09:55She was all going with Alan
00:09:58I'm going to get it
00:09:59Maybe not
00:10:00You have to make up your mind
00:10:01You're starting early
00:10:02No, but I love
00:10:03Listen
00:10:04Dancing is like acting
00:10:06It's character driven
00:10:07And you always know exactly
00:10:09As I said before
00:10:09How to sell it
00:10:10Semifinals
00:10:11We have to push it a bit harder
00:10:13They're right

00:11:48U.S. top ten hit

00:12:00This is how you do it
00:12:03It's a turn
00:12:04Duh
00:12:05Perfect score is not getting to my head
00:12:09Because it is the semifinal
00:12:11So now it's go time
00:12:12We freaking did it
00:12:16So cool
00:12:18I can't believe we're here
00:12:19You've put in the work
00:12:20Thank you
00:12:21That means a lot
00:12:21It's Prince Night
00:12:22We're doing the Argentine tango
00:12:24To Little Red Corvette
00:12:25Woo
00:12:26He was always very authentically himself
00:12:28And a great performer
00:12:30And I want to channel that
00:12:32We got two dances
00:12:33Yep
00:12:33We get to show your versatility
00:12:35I just want to unlock
00:12:36A different version
00:12:38Of what I ever thought
00:12:39I was capable of
00:12:40I'm ready to get to work
00:12:41Let's go
00:12:41Three
00:12:42Five
00:12:43That was my bad
00:12:43The Argentine tango
00:12:45Lives and breathes passion
00:12:47Can you hold me
00:12:50Can you hold
00:12:50Can you touch me
00:12:51This part of the competition
00:12:52Is just how much discomfort
00:12:55And pain can you take
00:12:57That hurt
00:13:00This song demands intensity
00:13:02And so does the Argentine tango
00:13:03So I'm expecting
00:13:05And welcoming a lot of hurt and pain
00:13:07Turn
00:13:08Ow
00:13:09You okay?
00:13:11That fell on my toes so bad
00:13:12There have been some amazing
00:13:14Argentine tangos this season
00:13:15So we need to make sure
00:13:16That ours is every bit as memorable
00:13:18If we want a spot in the finale
00:13:20Dancing the Argentine tango
00:13:25With her partner Val Jmerkovsky
00:13:27It's Alex Earl
00:13:28I guess I should have known
00:13:40By the way you parked your car
00:13:42I'd wait
00:13:43But it wouldn't last
00:13:45You're the kind of person
00:13:48Who believes in making our voice
00:13:50Love all men do my facts
00:13:52I guess I must be dumb
00:13:56Jet pocket full of horses
00:13:58I guess Trojan is some clues
00:14:00But if it's Saturday night
00:14:03I guess that makes it all right
00:14:05And you say
00:14:06What have I got to lose?
00:14:08Honey, I say
00:14:10Little Red Corvette
00:14:12Baby, you're much too bad
00:14:16I'm Little Red Corvette
00:14:20You can't get the smoke down
00:14:32But I'm Little Red Corvette
00:14:35Cause if you're done
00:14:37Cause if you're done
00:14:38You're gonna burn your back
00:14:40And be into the world
00:14:42Yes, Alex and Val
00:14:48With an Argentine tango
00:14:49And that song is not about a car
00:14:52That's right
00:14:53Oh, that was hot
00:14:56That was hot
00:14:58And love the red to boot
00:15:00All right, Derek
00:15:01Take it away
00:15:02Okay
00:15:02Good job
00:15:03I didn't
00:15:05I didn't like it
00:15:06I loved it
00:15:08I always wanted to do that
00:15:12No, truly
00:15:14You know, listen, Alex
00:15:15I really think that you have the potential
00:15:16To go all the way
00:15:17In this competition
00:15:19All the way to the end
00:15:20Your improvement has been fantastic
00:15:22Beautiful lines
00:15:23Well done
00:15:24Gorgeous
00:15:25All right
00:15:25Bruno
00:15:26Excuse me
00:15:28The Red Goddess
00:15:29I agree
00:15:31The shapes
00:15:32The lines
00:15:33The bodywork
00:15:35Top notch
00:15:36Now
00:15:37Semi-finals
00:15:40There was a little sequence
00:15:43On Ganchos
00:15:43That could have been
00:15:44A little bit sharper
00:15:45I could saw it in your face
00:15:47Actually
00:15:47When you missed it
00:15:49And you know
00:15:50I am honest
00:15:51But I have to say
00:15:52My darling
00:15:53You are the most improved
00:15:54You're like a gem
00:15:55That gets brighter
00:15:56And brighter
00:15:57And brighter
00:15:58All right
00:15:58You know
00:15:59Carrie Ann
00:16:00I agree
00:16:01Out of all the competitors
00:16:03Who are here tonight
00:16:04You have grown the most
00:16:05Steadily
00:16:06In all aspects
00:16:07Of your performance
00:16:08You're really blossoming
00:16:12In this dance
00:16:14It was fantastic
00:16:15But your shoulders came up
00:16:16And it looked like
00:16:17You were gripping
00:16:17On to the dance
00:16:18As opposed to being
00:16:19In control of the dance
00:16:20So take a deep breath
00:16:21For the next one
00:16:21Come back stronger
00:16:22All right
00:16:23You know you got it
00:16:24Head on up to the Skybox YouTube

00:18:25Mark Ballas
00:18:27The way you stuck that foot
00:18:32Thank you girl
00:18:33You were sticking that
00:18:34Landon and you nailed it
00:18:35Woo!
00:18:35Woo!
00:18:36Woo!
00:18:36Woo!
00:18:37Woo!
00:18:37Woo!
00:18:38Woo!
00:18:38Woo!
00:18:39Woo!
00:18:39That RG Teen Tango
00:18:40Will stick with me forever
00:18:42And now
00:18:42We have made it
00:18:43To the semi-finals
00:18:44Like I just
00:18:45I can't believe it
00:18:46I didn't think that I'd make it this far
00:18:52What a cool night
00:18:53Prince night
00:18:53And we're dancing
00:18:54It's 1999
00:18:55Prince was such a standout
00:18:57And he dances amazing
00:18:59Oh my god yeah
00:18:59It was eccentric
00:19:00It was loud
00:19:01It was exciting
00:19:02It was high energy
00:19:03And we're gonna bring that
00:19:04Into this dance
00:19:06It's a really important dance
00:19:07But we gotta have fun
00:19:08At the same time
00:19:08So let's party
00:19:09Like it's 1999
00:19:10Hell yeah
00:19:11All right
00:19:12Don't no bounce
00:19:14Look the cha-cha's meant to be fun
00:19:16Sassy, sexy, wild
00:19:17But you have to be in control
00:19:19Nope
00:19:19Of the movement
00:19:20So it's a difficult dance to do at a high level
00:19:23Getting tired already?
00:19:24No
00:19:24Look when Prince performs
00:19:26He makes it look so easy
00:19:27So effortless
00:19:28So cool
00:19:29You hate him
00:19:30I hate that
00:19:30But it's hard for me to not be so stiff
00:19:32I know but like the arms
00:19:35Every single person in this competition
00:19:37Is working so hard
00:19:39And I'm feeling it more than ever
00:19:40That everyone is just stepping it up
00:19:42So this dance has to be perfect
00:19:45Wow
00:19:46Look at that
00:19:48Dancing the cha-cha
00:19:52With her partner Mark Ballas
00:19:54It's Whitney Levitt
00:19:55I was dreaming while I broke this
00:20:07So sue me if I go too fast
00:20:10Life is just a party
00:20:15And party was meant to last
00:20:18If you didn't come to party
00:20:23Don't bother knocking on my door
00:20:26I've been lying in my pocket
00:20:32And baby he's ready to go

00:21:38And you throw it
00:21:39With that saucy stunner
00:21:43Of a cha-cha-cha
00:21:44Jokes apart
00:21:45The content
00:21:46Let me start there
00:21:48Everything that you wanted
00:21:50From a cha-cha-cha
00:21:50Was there
00:21:51The execution
00:21:52The precision
00:21:54The placement
00:21:55The level of difficulty
00:21:57Incredible
00:21:59And you did it
00:22:00Stunningly well
00:22:02Thank you
00:22:02All right
00:22:03Carrie Ann
00:22:04Good job
00:22:04Once again
00:22:07A wonderful dance
00:22:08I'm gonna say
00:22:09This is what stood out to me
00:22:10Is at times
00:22:12I felt that
00:22:12The technique
00:22:14I could see you
00:22:14Focusing on the technique
00:22:16And normally
00:22:16That doesn't happen
00:22:17When you perform
00:22:18It almost kind of
00:22:19Hindered it
00:22:20Cause you're such
00:22:20An amazing performer
00:22:21So for me
00:22:22The technique should disappear
00:22:23Into a great dance
00:22:24And I could see you
00:22:25Focusing on the technique
00:22:26But it was still
00:22:27Well delivered
00:22:28And a wonderful cha-cha
00:22:29Thank you
00:22:29Okay
00:22:30All right
00:22:30Derek
00:22:31Carrie Ann
00:22:35You are out of your mind
00:22:37That was
00:22:41Literal perfection
00:22:43For a cha-
00:22:44By the way
00:22:44Cha-cha
00:22:45In a semi-final
00:22:46Is like
00:22:46Really risky
00:22:47Honestly
00:22:48It's like
00:22:48And it was
00:22:50It started off
00:22:51And it got better
00:22:52And better
00:22:52And better
00:22:53The precision
00:22:53The technique
00:22:54The performance
00:22:56That was awesome

00:23:25In the room
00:23:26You said on
00:23:27The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
00:23:28That the only reason
00:23:28Why you wanted to do
00:23:29The show
00:23:30Was so that you could
00:23:30Do this show
00:23:32Yeah

00:23:33To be here so much
00:23:34You know what
00:23:34After two seasons
00:23:36Of doing the Secret Lives
00:23:37Of Mormon Wives
00:23:38I wanted to take a break
00:23:39But once I found out
00:23:40That this would be
00:23:41An opportunity
00:23:42For all of the girls
00:23:43To be able to go after this
00:23:44I wanted to take that chance
00:23:46I will forever be so grateful

00:24:48Dance of the night
00:24:49Alphonse
00:24:49Alright thanks Julianne
00:24:51And Carrie Ann's
00:24:52Gonna need security
00:24:53When she get up out of here
00:24:54Yes she will
00:24:55Alright next up
00:24:56Our reality TV star
00:24:58And content creator
00:24:59Dances a tango
00:25:00To a top 10 hit
00:25:02From Prince's 1994 album
00:25:04Purple Rain
00:25:05It's Dylan Efron
00:25:06And his partner
00:25:07Daniella Katagach
00:25:08That was your breakthrough moment
00:25:18By a long shot
00:25:20It's a 10!
00:25:21Yeah!
00:25:21Oh my god
00:25:22Perfect 10s
00:25:24This is just a moment
00:25:24I'll never forget
00:25:25The winner
00:25:26Of the relay dance
00:25:28Is
00:25:28Dylan and Roma
00:25:29We're finally hitting our stride
00:25:32And it's something to build off
00:25:33For these final two weeks
00:25:34If you told me
00:25:37We would have made
00:25:38The semi-finals week one
00:25:39I would have been like
00:25:40Cool but how?
00:25:41I'm a slow learner
00:25:42But we've really worked hard
00:25:44To get here
00:25:44Exactly
00:25:45Okay
00:25:46It's Prince night
00:25:47There's no other prince
00:25:48I love that
00:25:49And he's just
00:25:50Authentically himself
00:25:51Every night
00:25:52He's a natural performer
00:25:53And I think that's why
00:25:54He's still a legend today
00:25:55Right
00:25:55I think we can channel that
00:25:57This week
00:25:57Like it is the finale
00:25:58Like let's give it
00:25:59Everything we've got
00:26:00To the finale we go
00:26:01Sharp
00:26:01Nice
00:26:03The tango
00:26:04Is very much upright
00:26:06Strong in the legs
00:26:07Don't stick your butt out
00:26:08And Dylan's biggest challenge
00:26:10Is to keep his butt in
00:26:11That is one of the biggest
00:26:13Comments we get
00:26:14Tuck that booty under
00:26:15Watch out for your bum
00:26:16She's right about that
00:26:17Butt tucked in
00:26:18Prince is tough
00:26:19This is my last
00:26:20Ballroom style dance
00:26:22Before the finale
00:26:23The elbows shut down
00:26:24And this is my chance
00:26:25To prove to the judges
00:26:26That I've been listening
00:26:27This is the semis
00:26:29So I've got to go out there
00:26:31And surpass what I did last week
00:26:32Getting closer
00:26:33Let's do it again
00:26:34Dancing the tango
00:26:37With his partner
00:26:38Daniela Karagoc
00:26:39It's Dylan Ephron
00:26:41I'm not a woman
00:26:52I'm not a man
00:26:54I am something that you'll never understand
00:26:58I'll never be too rude
00:27:00I'll never lie
00:27:01And if you're evil

00:43:02You're like, pop, pop, pop, pop

00:43:43Like, were you feeling pressure or confidence?
00:43:46Oh, a bit of both, you know, a little bit of both
00:43:48And I've never sweat so much in my entire life
00:43:51But it's a credit to Whitney
00:43:52I mean, we're, we're pushing
00:43:54Both of us
00:43:55We're working
00:43:55And to bring joy into this room
00:43:59Feels like this is what I live for
00:44:01I know, I'm so proud of Robert
00:44:03Honestly, like, I feel like I've been given a gift
00:44:06With him as my partner
00:44:08And I just really appreciate everything that you've done

00:44:36Thank you

00:44:42And I'm so grateful
00:44:43All right, well, you can vote for them right now
00:44:46With your texts and online at abc.com
00:44:48Voting closes shortly after the final competitive dance
00:44:51All of the scores for the first dances are in

00:44:57Currently at the top
00:44:59Are Robert and Whitney with 30

00:45:10A three-way tie
00:45:11The scores and possibly the outstanding, or sorry, the standings will change with these next dances
00:45:17Alfonso
00:45:18All right, thanks, Julianne
00:45:19Let's continue the semifinals with a posse doble to the first number one single for Prince and the Revolution
00:45:26When doves cry
00:45:27Here's how Elaine and Alan trained for their final dance to get into our season finale
00:45:33This is our last dance
00:45:38This is what gets us into the finals
00:45:40And I want you to fight for your spot
00:45:42Oh, I can do that
00:45:43Being an actress can be so hard
00:45:46That I've just trained myself to just be willing
00:45:49Just keep going
00:45:50And it's really paying off
00:45:52Normally I play characters
00:45:54And to let people see me
00:45:56Has been really scary
00:45:57But I'm so glad I did it
00:46:01I truly didn't know what I would be capable of in this competition
00:46:05But every week my body is showing up for me
00:46:09And I'm really grateful for that
00:46:11Let's do this for the younger Elaine that wanted to be a dancer
00:46:16Let's do this
00:46:17Let's do this
00:46:17You ready?
00:46:18I am ready
00:46:18I'm proud of you
00:46:20Intense
00:46:22Paso doble is the dance of the matador and the cape and a bull fight
00:46:29Boom
00:46:29So close
00:46:31This is the perfect dance for Elaine
00:46:33To show that power and resilience and determination that she's had all season
00:46:377, 8
00:46:38Stay back
00:46:39We are in fight mode
00:46:41So the most challenging thing about the Paso doble
00:46:43Is to have power while maintaining control
00:46:46I've put my heart and soul out for the entire world to see every week
00:46:53Do it again
00:46:53So that's what I'm going to keep doing
00:46:55It's fast
00:46:56I'm having a hard time connecting that
00:46:58It's okay
00:46:58I'll get it
00:46:59Last dance
00:47:02Go
00:47:02Last chance to make it in the finale
00:47:05And I'm going to do just that
00:47:07Okay
00:47:07Proud of you
00:47:09Let's just go for it
00:47:10Dancing the Paso doble
00:47:14With her partner Alan Burstyn
00:47:16It's Elaine Hendricks
00:47:17Did you leave me with the picture
00:47:31That you and I engaged in a kiss
00:47:35This is where everybody covers me?
00:47:37This is where everybody covers me
00:47:39Can you my darling?
00:47:42Can you picture the animals?
00:47:45Strike curious poses
00:47:48They feel the heat
00:47:50The heat between me and you
00:47:53You just need to be standing
00:47:55The moment the world is so cold
00:47:59The world is so cold
00:48:00Baby, baby, baby, now

00:52:06Next up, the star who earned 28 for her Argentine tango.
00:52:10For her last dance to get into our season finale, she'll perform a Viennese waltz to the
00:52:15title track from Purple Rain.
00:52:17First, let's see Alex and Val in training.
00:52:23I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever, let alone one of Prince's best songs,
00:52:28Purple Rain.
00:52:29I'm so excited.
00:52:30It lends itself to a much more emotional performance.
00:52:33I've gotten so emotionally in tune with myself throughout this and I don't want to cry.
00:52:40I am so excited getting to do this every day and I'm going to be so upset when this is
00:52:46over.
00:52:47And I just...
00:52:48I've just learned so much about myself, it's given me a different work ethic and I am more
00:52:59confident in being prepared to fail and it's nothing I could have prepared myself for.
00:53:05I have loved waking up every day to get to come in here and dance and learn more and challenge
00:53:12myself and I forgot this isn't my everyday life.
00:53:15Let's really savor these dances.
00:53:18One.
00:53:19Two.
00:53:20To this step.
00:53:21Yeah.
00:53:22The Viennese waltz is known for its left turns, right turns, pivots, fluid movements.
00:53:26Yeah.
00:53:27Your energy's here, it needs to go there.
00:53:29The challenging part is to then forget about it and put your soul into it.
00:53:34Turn.
00:53:35Nice.
00:53:36I want to wear my heart on my sleeve for this, but I'm getting dizzy.
00:53:39So, you know, I have to make sure I'm spotting and figuring out where I'm going.
00:53:43Boom.
00:53:44There you go.
00:53:45Can I go lower?
00:53:46Um...
00:53:48There's a lot of pressure to do Purple Rain justice and not let anyone down.
00:53:53It's hard to even put into words how much I've enjoyed this.
00:53:57I want to get to the finale and keep that dream going for another week.
00:54:01Dancing the Viennese waltz with her partner Val Jmerkovski, it's Alex Earl.
00:54:08I never meant to call you in your sorrow.
00:54:25I never meant to call you in your pain.
00:54:33The Lub extreme sea and artistic way!
00:54:38I don't want to watch that now see you laughing.
00:54:40The Lord who's there, I absolutely.
00:54:43Nobody wants to see you laughing in the Purple Rain.
00:54:47Purple Rain, Purple Rain.
00:54:52Oh, yeah.
00:54:54Maple rain.
00:54:56Purple Rain, Purple Rain.
00:54:58Purple rain, purple rain
00:55:03Purple rain, purple rain
00:55:12Hope you want to see you underneath your purple
00:55:22Alex inbound with a Viennese waltz to Prince's iconic Purple Rain
00:55:35An iconic dance to an iconic song
00:55:39So good, you two
00:55:41Derek
00:55:42Alex, even from your package, you know, dance, it really, it transforms
00:55:46And we've seen you blossom into a beautiful, beautiful dancer, truly
00:55:49And I have no doubts that we're gonna see you in those finals
00:55:55It was a powerful, passionate, and stunning Viennese waltz
00:55:59Well done, beautiful, fantastic
00:56:01Alright, Bruno, go

00:56:25Carianne
00:56:26This season has been by far the most challenging
00:56:31And the most competitive season we have ever seen in 34 seasons
00:56:35A performance like this is gonna go down in history
00:56:40This is so powerful
00:56:42You have blossomed because you are exactly what we always want
00:56:46We want somebody to grow
00:56:48You grow and then you deliver this passionate, beautiful performance
00:56:52I am so proud of you, Alex
00:56:54Thank you

00:57:16Oh my goodness, we are one week away from the finale
00:57:19We saw you get emotional in the package
00:57:21Also listening to Carianne's comments
00:57:23What does this competition and those comments mean to you?
00:57:27Um, I mean it means everything to me to hear that from the judges
00:57:30And like I said in the package
00:57:32This has just been like the best experience
00:57:34And every single day
00:57:36I wake up so happy to dance
00:57:37And just learn more about myself
00:57:39And be with Bao
00:57:40So I just just brought tears to my eyes
00:57:43Because I love it so much

00:58:06How are you feeling?
00:58:07Oh my gosh
00:58:08I'm gonna keep crying
00:58:09Good tears
00:58:10Thank you so much
00:58:11Thank you
00:58:12I'm so proud of her
00:58:13I'm proud of everybody that puts in the work
00:58:14But she's my partner
00:58:15So I'm most proud of her
00:58:16I love you guys
00:58:17Alright, well they don't want to rely on the judges' scores
00:58:19Alone to get into the season finale
00:58:21They need votes from you
00:58:23Alfonso
00:58:24Thanks, Julianne
00:58:25The competition is heating up
00:58:26Dylan and Daniela's cha-cha to Prince's number one worldwide hit
00:58:31Kiss is next
00:58:32Live
00:58:33Welcome back to the semi-finals
00:58:45Next up, the star who earned 27 for his tango performs a cha-cha for the 1986 Prince and the Revolution hit Kiss
00:58:54Here are Dylan and Daniela training to get into our season finale with this all-important dance
00:59:05So what's this whole experience been like for you so far?
00:59:08Week one it felt like I'm an imposter like at a talent show and I had no talent
00:59:12And then like last week I'm flipping you in the air twice and catching you like that's
00:59:16With a broken nose
00:59:17We did
00:59:18This show is much more than just learning to dance
00:59:20It's having the confidence to go out there and own a performance
00:59:24You won the show
00:59:25What's it gonna take for us to get to the finale?
00:59:27Everything you've already been doing
00:59:29If you come here and you work hard and you stay focused that is everything a champion does
00:59:35This was a marathon not a sprint
00:59:38No
00:59:39And we're on the last leg
00:59:41We still have like another week left in us so don't give up yet
00:59:44We need to make it to the finale
00:59:46We got to
00:59:47Okay, let's do this
00:59:48Since week one one of Dylan's biggest challenges was performance
00:59:52All right restart restart
00:59:53But now his confidence is higher
00:59:55So with the cha-cha I am so excited for him to just take over this dance and get those hips rolling
01:00:01Oh my god
01:00:02I think the most demanding part in this dance is just the cardio
01:00:05So right now it's just a mental exhaustion of trying to keep the technique while having fun and being loose
01:00:11I've been close to succeeding on a few of these Latin style dances
01:00:15So frustrating
01:00:16But I haven't nailed one yet
01:00:18So I think this is a chance for me to showcase what I've learned throughout this last ten weeks
01:00:23That's insane
01:00:24This whole experience has been a marathon
01:00:26And I've run a ton of marathons
01:00:28So now I can actually see that finish line
01:00:31It's time to sprint
01:00:32It's time to sprint
01:00:33I'm going to do everything I can to make that finale
01:00:36Too much
01:00:39Dancing the cha-cha with his partner Daniela Karagocz, it's Dylan Efron
01:00:47Thank you
01:00:48Thank you
01:00:49Thank you
01:00:50Thank you
01:00:52Thank you
01:00:54Thank you
01:00:55Thank you
01:00:56Thank you
01:00:58Thank you
01:00:59Thank you
01:01:00Thank you
01:01:02Thank you
01:01:03Thank you
01:01:04Thank you
01:01:06Thank you
01:01:07Thank you
01:01:09Thank you
01:01:10Thank you
01:01:11Thank you
01:01:13Thank you
01:01:41You do
01:01:43You don't have to be rich
01:01:45You be my girl
01:01:46You don't have to be cool
01:01:48You rule my world
01:01:50Ain't no particular sign
01:01:52I'm more compatible with
01:01:54I just want chose to time
01:01:57Your kiss
01:02:00Yes! Dylan and Daniella with a cha-cha.
01:02:08Oh, there are a lot of people right now at home hitting pause so that they can kiss Dylan on their TV.
01:02:17Oh, it's happening. It's happening.
01:02:20All right, Bruno, take it away.
01:02:22I know what you're all thinking, Tom. I am first in line.
01:02:26You sexy beast. What happened to your hips?
01:02:32You've done so much work. The difference on your hip action and on your foot placement.
01:02:38Your finish is incredible. Daniella, you've done a fantastic job.
01:02:43You should be proud.
01:02:45Yes! Carrie-Anne.
01:02:48I like the attack this time. I definitely felt you're more connected to the music.
01:02:52Sometimes your arms got a little, like, a little small. I know.
01:02:56Look, you guys, a lot is at stake. Everybody has worked so hard.
01:03:00I have to tell him. So if he's here next week, he has something to work on, right?
01:03:05We want everybody to do well, so that is what I think you need to work on.
01:03:09And you have done a great job so far.
01:03:11Okay. All right. Derek. Dylan!
01:03:14I'm sorry, guys. Bear with me. It's the knee slide at the beginning. So good.
01:03:18The compact chassis, the New Yorkers, the details, man. Your hip action, the proper Cuban motion.
01:03:24That is not easy to do. Your arm placement. And the New Yorkers, your feet were turned out.
01:03:28Nobody does that. It was so, so impressive, man. You should be so proud.
01:03:33There was... there was a little thing there, but great job. Great job.
01:03:38All right. Great job, dude. Head on up to the skybox, dude.
01:03:41The standard of dancing on this record-breaking season has been so exceptional that none of us want it to end.
01:03:48But we will wrap it up next Tuesday night with our competition-packed season finale. Julianne.
01:03:55I know, and I can't believe how fast this season has gone by Al Paco.
01:04:00It's truly a testament to how hard all of these couples work.
01:04:03Okay. You've done a tango tonight. You've done a cha-cha tonight.
01:04:07Are you a ballroom or a Latin guy? The Latin's fun. I'm better at the other, but the Latin's really fun.
01:04:13I don't know. You've got that hip-hop again. I love it.
01:04:16That's what we practice the most, so it feels good to go out there and do it.
01:04:19I think everybody is very happy about that. All right. Let's get your scores.
01:04:23Carrie-Ann Inabe. Nine!
01:04:27Derrick Huff. The Little Famo, nine. Great job, man. Great job.
01:04:31It's a ten.
01:04:35All right. That's 28 out of 30 for Dylan and Daniela's Cha-Cha. Their total for both dances is 55.
01:04:42All right. How bad do you want to be in this finale?
01:04:45So bad. I know that she's going to do some incredible choreo, and I want that challenge, so I really want to get there.
01:04:51Got some freestyle magic up your sleeve, I'm sure, Daniela.
01:04:54All right. Well, judges' scores alone won't allow them to dance for the trophy and the title next week,
01:04:59but you can help them get there with the power of your votes. Alfonso.
01:05:02All right. Thanks, Julianne. There's more fierce competition on the way.
01:05:06Whitney and Mark perform a Viennese Waltz to a Prince hit from Sign of the Times when we come back live.
01:05:14We're back with the pros that you can see in person this winter in our all-new live tour.
01:05:30Go to dwtstour.com for tickets and information. The shows have been selling fast, so don't miss your chance.
01:05:36And trust me, you're going to have the most amazing time, I promise. All right.
01:05:40Well, next up, the star who earned $29 for her cha-cha dances a Viennese Waltz to slow love from Prince's ninth album, his masterpiece, Sign of the Times.
01:05:51That's right. Here are Whitney and Mark training for this last chance to get into next week's season finale.
01:05:59So this is it, man. Hopefully your gateway to potentially make the finale.
01:06:04Yeah. You know? So what has this experience been like for you?
01:06:07I knew it was going to be really challenging going into it.
01:06:10Just being a fan of the show and seeing all the hard work that the stars put in.
01:06:14But it's so different when you actually live it. It is.
01:06:17I feel like, um...
01:06:24Being a part of this experience, like, blossomed something in me that I feel like had been missing.
01:06:32I've learned it's okay to be yourself. And when I dance, I feel most like myself. So it's been really exciting to reunite with that person.
01:06:42I just feel like this whole experience has been life-changing for me. And I'm just... I'm just so grateful.
01:06:48Come here.
01:06:51I'm proud of you.
01:06:53Good. Shifting.
01:06:55I don't know. In this V in these walls, Whitney has to create width in her frame.
01:06:58And we need to create space with this frame. Show us elegance, poise, and try your best.
01:07:03It just looks like a little princess float on a cloud.
01:07:06Like, I want to style it cool.
01:07:08Okay.
01:07:09Because it's Prince. There's a lot of writing in this one.
01:07:10Again, now let's try and get back to the center.
01:07:12The most challenging thing for me is my back keeping it arched the whole time.
01:07:16Use your back.
01:07:17It's just a very awkward position to have to hold throughout the whole entire dance.
01:07:21Two, three, side, side. Get in the frame.
01:07:22Do it again. That's where you're looking to get.
01:07:24When I became a mom and had kids, I didn't think I could make a living off of being a performer and entertainer.
01:07:30But now it feels obtainable.
01:07:32Yes. Better.
01:07:33And that I will forever be grateful for.
01:07:35Not bad. Not bad.
01:07:37Dancing the Viennese Waltz with her partner, Mark Ballas, it's Whitney Levitt.
01:07:51Young is the night
01:07:58It feels so right.
01:08:08Let's make it strong.
01:08:16Just like the wind blows.
01:08:23Let's make it.
01:08:27Last forever.
01:08:31Over a hundred times it wouldn't be enough.
01:08:40Yeah, yeah.
01:08:42Tonight is the night for making it slow.
01:08:54Yes.
01:08:55Whitney and Mark with a Viennese Waltz.
01:09:07You can do this.
01:09:08Oh yeah.
01:09:09You can do this.
01:09:10Absolutely gorgeous.
01:09:11You get me?
01:09:12You can do this.
01:09:13Yeah.
01:09:14Beautiful.
01:09:15Absolutely beautiful.
01:09:16Carrie Ann.
01:09:17Wow.
01:09:18Okay.
01:09:19That was for you from all the performance that you have done, my absolute favorite.
01:09:32It felt so authentically you.
01:09:37You unmasked, you showed us truly your soul and how much you love to dance.
01:09:43And I just want to thank you for that.
01:09:45There was a bit of a hop, so I had to mark for that.
01:09:49But what you did, please, no one can take that away from you.
01:09:52That was outstanding.
01:09:53Yes.
01:09:54There was a hop.
01:09:55Two.
01:09:56Two.
01:09:57Two.
01:09:58All right.
01:09:59Two.
01:10:00You crazy little girl.
01:10:01I see what I see.
01:10:02Whatever.
01:10:03Okay.
01:10:04Okay.
01:10:05Okay.
01:10:06Okay.
01:10:07I want to share this actually real fast.
01:10:08I want to commend you so much for sharing your ambition and sharing your dreams because
01:10:11I find that to be very courageous.
01:10:14Very courageous.
01:10:15A lot of people are afraid to express what they desire, what they want to do in fear that
01:10:19it won't happen.
01:10:20It's scary to put that out there.
01:10:22But you put that out there and you show up and you deliver and you dance, girl.
01:10:26You dance.
01:10:27Yes, my love.
01:10:28Bruno.
01:10:29Because you are immensely talented.
01:10:32What we saw tonight, whatever, the quality of movement in that Venice Waltz we see very
01:10:38rarely.
01:10:39We always look for that feel, you know guys, like the riding on the crest of a wave.
01:10:44When you do everything and it's absolutely in tune and phrased with the music.
01:10:49Impeccable!
01:10:52Well, heading up to the skybox.

01:11:11Thanks Alfonso.
01:11:12All right.
01:11:13Before we get started, Mark, I actually want to acknowledge something.
01:11:17I overheard you say, you can do this, you can do this.
01:11:20What does that mean?
01:11:22I think just, you know, I feel like this little girl whose dreams are coming true and more
01:11:29than ever on this show, I feel like those are obtainable.
01:11:32I love this show!
01:11:33Woo!

01:11:42All right.

01:12:12Alfonso.
01:12:13All right.
01:12:14Thanks, Julianne.
01:12:15Another hit from Side of the Times is up next.
01:12:18Jordan and Ezra dance in Argentine Tango after this, live.
01:12:22Welcome back to the semifinals.
01:12:35We'll continue Prince Night with an Argentine Tango until you got the look from the star who earned 27 for her jive.
01:12:42Here are Jordan and Ezra training for her last dance to get into the finale.
01:12:49Look at us.
01:12:51We've came a long way.
01:12:52Now that we're here, how has this experience been for you?
01:12:55Words can't describe how proud I am that I was able to show the world that I love dancing and it's not just because of my sport.
01:13:02It was actually something that I really wanted to pursue as a little kid.
01:13:05I'm very proud of myself.
01:13:07That little girl is definitely looking up at me right now and being like, you did it.
01:13:11Our Argentine Tango is the last dance before finale.
01:13:16It's going to be a make or break moment.
01:13:19Yes.
01:13:20We have to make this dance a standout.
01:13:22I'm willing to really do anything.
01:13:23Tear me apart.
01:13:24Do whatever.
01:13:25If I got to be in five different corners.
01:13:27I don't know how, but girl, you will figure it out.
01:13:29It's time to get to work, my dude.
01:13:31I step and you go.
01:13:33But replace my foot.
01:13:35Try it again.
01:13:36In order for us to succeed in this Argentine Tango, Jordan needs to master those boleros and ganjos.
01:13:41So the things that go like.
01:13:43Oh, I forgot to flick him.
01:13:44Because everyone at home knows that stuff and it's iconic.
01:13:48Ha!
01:13:49What was this?
01:13:50Get the foot on the floor.
01:13:51Try it again.
01:13:52It's one of the harder dances that I've had to learn.
01:13:55You missed like five legs.
01:13:57I did.
01:13:58Let's come back this time.
01:14:00As a gymnast, we like to tighten our quads.
01:14:03So I do keep kicking Ezra a lot.
01:14:10You roundhouse kicks my shin.
01:14:12That felt intentional.
01:14:13Being eliminated before the finale would really suck.
01:14:17I want to prove to myself that I've gone through a lot, but look at me.
01:14:22I can be strong.
01:14:23I can be passionate.
01:14:24I can be dedicated.
01:14:25So I'm bringing Olympic level energy to make sure we punch our ticket to the finale.
01:14:30Good.
01:14:31That was good.
01:14:32Can you do that again?
01:14:33Dancing the Argentine Tango with her partner Ezra Sosa.
01:14:39It's Jordan Childs.
01:15:03Make your hand.
01:15:04You got my hand.
01:15:06You got that look.
01:15:10Color you peach and black.
01:15:11Color me cake and you're back.
01:15:14Crucial.
01:15:15Think I want you good.
01:15:17I think I won't jump
01:15:19You've got to look
01:15:21You've got to hook
01:15:23Sure enough to be cooking
01:15:25My book
01:15:27Your face is jammin'
01:15:29Your body's hecka slammin'

01:16:53Alright
01:16:54Carrie Ann
01:16:55I'm trying to find the words
01:16:57To describe you
01:16:59Because you stand out
01:17:00You're in a class of your own
01:17:02You're always taking the biggest risk
01:17:04You are always moving forward to your own style
01:17:07You do not sacrifice what you want to be
01:17:10When you show up on this dance floor for anybody
01:17:12And I love that
01:17:13And tonight
01:17:14That was the bomb
01:17:15Come on
01:17:16Come on
01:17:17Come on
01:17:18Alright
01:17:19Head on up to the skybox
01:17:20There is one dance to go in the semifinals
01:17:23Robert and Whitney will perform a Viennese waltz to a 2014 Prince hit
01:17:28Julianne
01:17:29Thanks Alfonso
01:17:31Jordan
01:17:32I see you getting emotional
01:17:34How you doing?
01:17:35You want to share anything right now?
01:17:37Yeah
01:17:38Honestly, you know, this has been an incredible journey
01:17:41And like I said earlier, that little girl in me
01:17:45Definitely should be very, very proud
01:17:48Now you said you haven't got a perfect score in gymnastics
01:17:51And you haven't got a perfect score yet on Dancing with the Stars
01:17:54Are you hoping for that tonight?
01:17:56I am
01:17:57Let's get your scores
01:18:00Carrie Ann Inabe
01:18:0210
01:18:04Derek Huff
01:18:0610
01:18:08Bruna Tony Young
01:18:1010
01:18:1230 out of 30 for Jordan and as is Argentine Tango
01:18:17Their total for both dances is 57
01:18:20Jordan
01:18:21You did it!
01:18:22And just in time for the finale coming up
01:18:26Alright, well if you have been giving them your votes throughout the season
01:18:30This is not the time to stop
01:18:32Vote right now to send them to next week's season finale
01:18:35We're coming right back
01:18:37Live!
01:18:48We're back with Prince Night
01:18:50Last up, the star who earned a perfect 30 for his jive
01:18:54Performs a Viennese waltz to WOW
01:18:56From Prince's 36th album 2014
01:19:00Plectum Electrum
01:19:02Here are Robert and Whitney in training
01:19:07This is the dance that could get us into the finale
01:19:11Little 11 year old me would be screaming right now
01:19:15You know when you're little and you enter the Dancing with the Stars ballroom
01:19:19My eyes are just so wide, it all just seemed so enormous
01:19:22But having this experience myself, it actually feels 10 times bigger
01:19:27I am walking a path that my sister forged
01:19:30And it's been a great honour to do that
01:19:33But now in the semi-finals, it's time to write our own story
01:19:37And it's time to create my own legacy
01:19:39There's no room for anything other than perfect
01:19:41Because I know that everybody else is going to be bringing their best
01:19:44I just want to pour my heart and soul into it
01:19:47Let's amp this up and get ourselves to the finale
01:19:50Let's go
01:19:51Viennese waltz, it's a lot of rotation
01:19:53The difficult part about Viennese waltz for Robert is the footwork and the technique
01:19:57So that there's no stumbles and there's no falls
01:19:59Oh my god
01:20:00There are such high stakes
01:20:02Crap
01:20:03So it really has to be perfect
01:20:05Get into it
01:20:06This is the character
01:20:07The hardest part of this Viennese waltz is the fact that I have to be so passionate and intense with Whitney
01:20:12That's just not our dynamic
01:20:14This is weird
01:20:15Closer
01:20:16Like
01:20:17This show has been everything to me
01:20:21And we have hit a lot of challenges along the way
01:20:24Tonight, if we get this right, we're on to the finale
01:20:28And that will be the ultimate dream come true
01:20:30Dancing the Viennese waltz with his partner Whitney Carson, it's Robert Irwin
01:20:42Hello
01:20:43Hello
01:20:52Hello
01:20:54Hello
01:20:55You're looking so bad, you know it's true
01:20:59Remember the time of refreshment
01:21:03You think that was good, you ain't seen nothing yet
01:21:07Like a beetle so haunted, walked to a plane
01:21:12You got an addiction and you got me away
01:21:16You're not so incoming, cause I made no claims tonight
01:21:23You can call it the unexpected or you can call it wow
01:21:28You can call it, call it wow

01:21:38You can call it the unexpected or you can call it
01:21:42Call it, call it, call it, call it wow
01:21:46Robert and Whitney with a Viennese waltz, oh yeah, you deliver that one dude, yeah, that
01:22:02was the final dance, voting will be closing soon, Bruno take it away, go Robert and Top
01:22:11gun mode, he's like Tom Cruise, one blockbuster after another, that was so thrilling, I want
01:22:21to see the sequel, I didn't want it to stop, what is he going to do next, you'll do it in
01:22:27the final, trust me, trust me, alright, all right, Carrie Ann, you always deliver such
01:22:35fun, strong performances, but tonight you did, you drew us in in a different way, you made
01:22:40us curious about you, telling the story like that, in sort of like that subtle way, this
01:22:45is the evolution of dance that I love watching in our contestants, you, that means a lot, thank
01:22:51you, like, I feel like I'm your mom, like I'm so proud of you, I'm just so proud of you,
01:22:57and I think we all are, well done, thank you, alright, Derek, get over here, get over here
01:23:05I love you, hug it out, hug it out, hug it out, alright, Robert, Robert, I'll say, I have
01:23:13eight seconds, um, that was a ferocious Venus waltz, the way you, like, just commanded that
01:23:18with a body, your, every fiber of your body dances, and I love that, thank you, the frame,
01:23:23you know, but listen, I can't wait to see what you do in the final, buddy.
01:23:27Thank you, man, alright, head on up to the Skybox, you too.

01:23:58Um, that was the last dance of the semi-finals, how are you both feeling?
01:24:02Oh my goodness, I'm, I'm, I'm terrified, I'm excited, I never thought I, I would make
01:24:08it to this point, you know, I, I had a few ideas of what this show would bring, seeing
01:24:12my sister do it, but I wasn't prepared for the lifelong friendships you make, and the feeling
01:24:19of flying, I mean, it is like that, it's amazing.
01:24:23It's so true, let's get your scores.
