00:00:00Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life
00:00:08Electric word, life, it means forever and that's a mighty long time
00:00:14But I need to tell you, there's something else
00:00:17So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one who won't talk to me
00:00:23It'll be alright, let's sit back and roll like a little time
00:00:26Ask me how much of your mind, baby, cause the next life
00:00:30You think so much harder than the granddaddy world
00:00:33This life, life, you're on your own
00:00:37And if the elevator tries to break you down
00:00:43I'm crazy, but I don't know
00:00:56Keep the dumb life, what's your name in here
00:01:00Take a look around, at least you got friends
00:01:05I call my old lady for a friendly word
00:01:10She's a big duck phone, jacked it on the floor
00:01:14That's all I heard

00:02:54for the semifinals on Dancing with the Stars.
00:02:57Oh, we're going crazy for that opening number choreographed
00:03:16by Luam.
00:03:18Oh, yeah.
00:03:20Welcome to the semifinals, and keep it going for our six
00:03:24semifinalists.
00:03:25Tonight, they've got to perform two dances to earn a place
00:03:28in next week's season finale, where they will compete for our
00:03:32Len Goodman mirrorball trophy.
00:03:34That's right.
00:03:36And because it's Prince Night, the dances will be performed
00:03:39to the best loved songs of this musical genius.
00:03:43Voting is open right now and is available to the US, its
00:03:45territories, and Canada at abc.com.

00:03:58You get 10 votes per couple, per voting method.
00:04:00All right.
00:04:01Now, before we get into the competition, let's take a look
00:04:04look at the phenomenal career of the legendary artists we're
00:04:07celebrating tonight.
00:04:10Prince didn't just play music, he embodied it.
00:04:17Yeah, honey, I say, little red color man, I'm not done yet.
00:04:23Every note he hit, every step he took, blurred the line between musician and dancer.
00:04:36His music fused as many styles as his dance moves.
00:04:52Funk met ballet, rock met contemporary, and movement became liberation.
00:04:57Prince showed us that music isn't just something you hear, it's something you feel.
00:05:03And tonight, we dance in his honor.
00:05:06He said I would love you.
00:05:11What a remarkable showman.
00:05:16Now, we're presenting the songs of Prince in order, so we'll start with a
00:05:21Foxtrot to his first major hit single in 1979, I Wanna Be Your Lover.
00:05:26It's film and TV actress, Elaine Hendricks and Alan Burster.
00:05:31Two weeks ago, you couldn't even dance, and here you are, giving it to the Fly Girl Moves.
00:05:38Well done.
00:05:39Rose!
00:05:40I wasn't sure if I would make it with nines, so I am beside myself that I am in the semifinals.
00:05:48Elaine, we made it.
00:05:50We made it to the semifinals.
00:05:52It's something that I wanted, and I've worked so hard for, I'm just elated.
00:05:56I'm so proud of you.
00:05:57Yeah, thanks.
00:05:58It is Prince night, which is iconic.
00:06:01I grew up on Prince, and he was just such a showman.
00:06:05He knew how to command the stage.
00:06:07All eyes were on him, and that's what we've got to do.
00:06:10Exactly.
00:06:11So I like the idea of stepping into those shoes.
00:06:13We got to get these tens, we got to make it into the finale.
00:06:16Yeah, I want that.
00:06:16Let's go.
00:06:18A little bit more like Prince.
00:06:20Elaine and I are going to work hard on everything for this Foxtrot,
00:06:22the technique, the footwork.
00:06:24Elaine's been getting a lot of notes about her shoulders being up in a frame.
00:06:27Boom, yeah, shoulders down.
00:06:28And that's from her pre-existing injuries.
00:06:31So if we raise Elaine's chest, hopefully that puts the shoulders down.
00:06:35Have strong arms, connect them to your back.
00:06:37This performance has to be worthy of Prince, and that is no easy task.
00:06:44I have to float and fight at the same time.
00:06:46Nice.
00:06:47Because this is our chance to really bring those scores up and just show exactly what we can do.
00:06:53Good job.
00:06:54That's a semi-finalist.
00:06:57Dancing the Foxtrot with her partner, Alan Burstyn, it's Elaine Hendricks.
00:07:01Thanks.
00:07:11I ain't got no money
00:07:13I ain't got those other cars you gave on
00:07:18It's kind of funny
00:07:21But they always sing to let you down
00:07:26And I need your love, babe
00:07:29That's all I'm living for
00:07:34Yeah
00:07:34I want to pressure you, baby
00:07:39All I ever wanted to do
00:07:43I want to be your lover
00:07:45I want to be your lover
00:07:47I want to be the only one that you could run in
00:07:51I want to be your lover
00:07:53I want to be your lover
00:07:55I want to turn you up, turn you out
00:07:57I want to love you, baby
00:07:59I want to make you shout, I love her
00:08:01Yeah
00:08:03I want to be the only one you could for
00:08:07Yeah
00:08:09Oh, Alan and Elaine with a Foxtrot too
00:08:17I want to be your lover
00:08:19Oh, everybody's loving that one
00:08:23So good
00:08:25I think you're pretty happy about that
00:08:31All right
00:08:33All right, let's hear what the judges have to say
00:08:35Carrie Ann, you're up
00:08:37Okay, well, Elaine, welcome to the semifinals
00:08:41You deserve this spot so much
00:08:43That was a
00:08:45Feel this audience there going wild for you
00:08:47You are sophisticated, smooth, strong
00:08:51It just, it's solid, okay?
00:08:53But tonight we are looking to see who's going to make it to the finale, right?
00:08:57So I'm just, nothing was wrong with the dance
00:08:59I just want to say, I would still love to see you just push a little
00:09:03Like I want to see the edges a little bit more
00:09:05Like just push to the edge
00:09:06I feel like you make it look so easy
00:09:08I want to feel like, baby, it's not that easy for y'all
00:09:12Okay, all right
00:09:14Derek, Derek
00:09:16Lelaine, you're lovely
00:09:18That was beautiful, truly incredible
00:09:20Foxtrot
00:09:22The way you articulate those feet
00:09:24To get that beautiful rise and fall
00:09:26With that control, that is not easy
00:09:28I appreciate that, I love that
00:09:29However, I will echo Carrie Ann's statement a little bit
00:09:31Tonight is the semifinal
00:09:32Tonight is about fighting to get into the final
00:09:34Who is going to make it into there?
00:09:36So for this next, this is your first dance for tonight
00:09:38So that second dance, we want to see a little bit more fight
00:09:40All right? But that was a beautiful
00:09:42Fantastic
00:09:43All right, Bruno, my darling
00:09:44Radiant as ever
00:09:46And you were very, very flirty tonight as well, were you?
00:09:50She was all going with Alan
00:09:52I'm gonna get it, maybe not
00:09:54Wow
00:09:55You have to make up your mind
00:09:56That's gotten early
00:09:57No, but I love
00:09:58Listen
00:09:59Dancing is like acting
00:10:00It's character driven
00:10:01And you always know exactly
00:10:03As I said before, how to sell it
00:10:05Semi-finals, we have to push it a bit harder
00:10:07They're right
00:10:08But you are a great performer
00:10:10Absolutely
00:10:11All right, you two head on up to the skybox

00:11:12Okay
00:11:13That's what it's all about
00:11:14Two dances
00:11:15They'll earn more points from the judges for their second dance
00:11:17But you can vote for them right now to dance in next week's season finale
00:11:20We're coming right back
00:11:22Live
00:11:23Welcome back to Prince Night
00:11:36Next up, the star who earned her first perfect score of the season performs an Argentine tango to Prince's first U.S. Top 10 hit, Little Red Corvette
00:11:46It's social media personality, Alex Earl and Val Shcherkovsky
00:11:53Yes, Len, I know
00:11:55This is how you do it
00:11:57It's a turn
00:11:59Duh
00:12:00Perfect score is not getting to my head because it is the semifinals so now it's go time
00:12:07We freaking did it
00:12:09We freaking did it
00:12:10We made it
00:12:11So cool
00:12:12I can't believe we're here
00:12:14You've put in the work
00:12:15Thank you, that means a lot
00:12:16It's Prince Night
00:12:17We're doing the Argentine tango to Little Red Corvette
00:12:20Woo
00:12:21He was always very authentically himself and a great performer and I want to channel that
00:12:26We got two dances
00:12:27Yep
00:12:28We get to show your versatility
00:12:29I just want to unlock a different version of what I ever thought I was capable of
00:12:34I'm ready to get to work
00:12:35Let's go
00:12:36Three, five
00:12:37That was my bad
00:12:38The Argentine tango lives and breathes passion
00:12:42Can you hold me? Can you hold me? Can you touch me?
00:12:46This part of the competition is just how much discomfort and pain can you take?
00:12:52That hurt
00:12:54This song demands intensity and so does the Argentine tango
00:12:58So I'm expecting and welcoming a lot of hurt and pain
00:13:01Turn
00:13:03Ow
00:13:04You okay?
00:13:05That's on my toes so bad
00:13:07There have been some amazing Argentine tangos this season
00:13:10So we need to make sure that ours is every bit as memorable if we want a spot in the finale
00:13:18Dancing the Argentine tango with her partner Val Jmerkovski, it's Alex Earl
00:13:28I guess I should've known by the way you parked your car sideways that it wouldn't last
00:13:41You're the kind of person who believes in making our points
00:13:45Love them and leave them fast
00:13:47I guess I must be dumb
00:13:49I guess I must be dumb
00:13:50Jet pocket full of horses
00:13:52Children and some clues
00:13:54But if it's Saturday night
00:13:57I guess that makes it all right
00:13:59And you say what have I got to lose?
00:14:02Honey I said
00:14:04Little Red Corvette
00:14:07Baby you're much too bad
00:14:11Oh
00:14:12Little Red Corvette
00:14:14You know your love is gonna lie
00:14:19Little Red Corvette
00:14:22Baby you gotta slow down
00:14:26Little Red Corvette
00:14:29Little Red Corvette
00:14:30Cause if you don't
00:14:31Cause if you don't
00:14:32Cause if you don't
00:14:33You don't
00:14:34But you don't
00:14:35You don't
00:14:36Until you play
00:14:39Yes!
00:14:41Alex and Val with an Argentine tango
00:14:44And that song is not about a car!
00:14:46That's right!
00:14:50Oh that was hot!
00:14:51That was hot!
00:14:52And love the red debut!
00:14:54Alright Derek take it away!
00:14:56I didn't
00:14:59I didn't
00:15:00I didn't like it
00:15:02I loved it!
00:15:05I always wanted to do that
00:15:07No truly
00:15:08You know listen Alex
00:15:09I really think that you have the potential
00:15:10To go all the way
00:15:12In this competition
00:15:13All the way to the end
00:15:14Your improvement has been fantastic
00:15:16Beautiful lines
00:15:17Well done!
00:15:18Gorgeous!
00:15:19Alright
00:15:20Bruno
00:15:21Excuse me the red goddess
00:15:24Yes!
00:15:25I agree
00:15:26The shapes
00:15:27The lines
00:15:28The body work
00:15:29Top notch!
00:15:31Now
00:15:32Semi-finals
00:15:34There was a little sequence on ganchos
00:15:38That could have been a little bit sharper
00:15:40I could saw it in your face actually
00:15:42When you missed it
00:15:43And you know
00:15:45I am honest
00:15:46But I have to say my darling
00:15:47You are the most improved
00:15:49You are like a gem
00:15:50That gets brighter

00:16:00Steadily
00:16:01In all aspects
00:16:02Of your performance
00:16:05You are really blossoming
00:16:07Um
00:16:08In this dance
00:16:09It was fantastic
00:16:10But your shoulders came up
00:16:11And it looked like you were gripping onto the dance
00:16:13As opposed to being in control of the dance
00:16:14So take a deep breath for the next one
00:16:16Come back stronger
00:16:17Thank you
00:16:18Alright

00:18:09For her first dance she'll perform a cha-cha to the title track from Prince's first top 10 album 1999
00:18:15From Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
00:18:18Here's Whitney Leavitt and her partner Mark Ballas
00:18:25The way you stuck that foot thank you girl you were sticking that landing and you nailed it
00:18:34That Argentine tango will stick with me forever and now we have made it to the semi-finals
00:18:39Like I just I can't believe it
00:18:41Semi-final
00:18:43Oh my god
00:18:45I didn't think that I'd make it this far
00:18:46What a cool night Prince night and we're dancing to 1999
00:18:50Prince was such a standout
00:18:52And he dances amazing
00:18:53Oh my god yeah
00:18:54It was eccentric it was loud it was exciting it was high energy and we're gonna bring that into this dance
00:19:00It's a really important dance but we gotta have fun at the same time so let's party like it's 1999
00:19:05Hell yeah
00:19:06All right
00:19:08Don't no bounce
00:19:09Look the cha-cha's meant to be fun sassy sexy wild but you have to be in control
00:19:13Nope
00:19:14Of the movement so it's a difficult dance to do at a high level
00:19:17Getting tired already?
00:19:18No
00:19:19Look when Prince performs he makes it look so easy so effortless so cool
00:19:23Mmm
00:19:24You hate it?
00:19:25I hate that
00:19:26But it's hard for me to not be so stiff
00:19:28I know but like the arms
00:19:30Every single person in this competition is working so hard and I'm feeling it more than ever that everyone is just stepping it up
00:19:37So this dance has to be perfect
00:19:40Wow look at that
00:19:45Dancing the cha-cha with her partner Mark Ballas it's Whitney Levitt
00:19:50I was dreaming when I wrote this so sue me if I go too fast
00:20:08Life is just a party and party was meant to last
00:20:13If you didn't come to party don't bother knocking on my door
00:20:20I've got a line in my pocket and baby he's ready to go on
00:20:29Yeah
00:20:30They say you just got zero zero party over roots out of time
00:20:36So tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999
00:20:53Play party
00:20:57Party
00:20:59You don't die any day
00:21:02You don't die any day
00:21:06Oh, Whitney and Mark partying with their cha-cha of 1999
00:21:13Oh, the entire ballroom is on their feet
00:21:17Oh, yeah
00:21:18Come on, you two
00:21:21Thank you, thank you, thank you
00:21:23Aw, we're partying tonight
00:21:26Come on now
00:21:28Okay, Bruno, take away.
00:21:30Well, that's with the stars.
00:21:32The best party in America, and you throw it.
00:21:34With that saucy, stunner of a cha-cha-cha.
00:21:39Jokes apart, the content.
00:21:42Let me start there.
00:21:43Everything that you wanted from a cha-cha-cha was there.
00:21:46The execution, the precision, the placement,
00:21:51the level of difficulty, incredible.
00:21:54And you did it stunningly well.
00:21:57All right, Carrie-Anne.
00:21:59Good job.
00:22:01Once again, a wonderful dance.
00:22:03I'm going to say this is what stood out to me.
00:22:06At times, I felt that the technique,
00:22:09I could see you focusing on the technique.
00:22:11And normally, that doesn't happen when you perform.
00:22:13It almost kind of hindered it,
00:22:15because you're such an amazing performer.
00:22:16So for me, the technique should disappear into a great dance,
00:22:19and I could see you focusing on the technique,
00:22:21but it was still well-delivered and a wonderful cha-cha.
00:22:24Okay, all right.
00:22:26Derek.
00:22:26Carrie-Anne, you are out of your mind.
00:22:34That was literal perfection for a cha-cha.
00:22:39By the way, cha-cha in a semifinal is, like, really risky.
00:22:43Honestly, it's like, ugh!
00:22:44It's the hobby.
00:22:44And it started off, and it got better and better and better.
00:22:48The precision, the technique, the performance.
00:22:51That was awesome.
00:22:53You know what?
00:22:54Woo!
00:22:55Yeah, it was.
00:22:56Head on up to the skybox.
00:22:58Dylan Efron and Daniela Ketegos are getting ready for their first dance of the night,
00:23:02and you can see them live right now on TikTok at official DWTS.
00:23:07Emma and Jan are in charge of the behind-the-scenes action tonight.
00:23:10Julie-Anne.
00:23:11Thanks, Alfonso.
00:23:13All right.
00:23:14Whitney.
00:23:15I love this one.
00:23:16Hi, girl.
00:23:17All right.
00:23:18We're just going to, like, talk about the elephant in the room.
00:23:21You said on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives that the only reason why you wanted to do the show
00:23:25was so that you could do this show.
00:23:27Yeah.
00:23:27Why do you want to be here so much?
00:23:29You know what?
00:23:30After two seasons of doing The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, I wanted to take a break.
00:23:34But once I found out that this would be an opportunity for all of the girls to be able to go after this,
00:23:40I wanted to take that chance.
00:23:42I will forever be so grateful for Dina Katz because this has changed my life,
00:23:47and I'm just having the times of my life, and I couldn't be more grateful.
00:23:52Well, we're happy you're here.
00:23:53Let's get your scores right after this.
00:23:57Welcome back.
00:24:08Before the break, Whitney and Mark performed a cha-cha to 1999 that Derek said was literal perfection.
00:24:14Let's get their scores.
00:24:17Carrie-Anne Inabe.
00:24:20Nine!
00:24:21Derek Hutz.
00:24:22Ten!
00:24:24Bruno Tom Young.
00:24:25It's a ten!
00:24:28Twenty-nine out of thirty for Whitney and Mark for their first dance tonight.
00:24:33Like all of our couples, they are working hard to get into next week's season finale
00:24:36and compete for our Len Goodman Maribald trophy.
00:24:40Give them some help with your votes.
00:24:41Voting closes shortly after the final competitive dance of the night.
00:24:44Alphonse.
00:24:45All right.
00:24:45Thanks, Julianne.
00:24:46And Carrie-Anne's going to need security when she get up out of here.
00:24:50Yes, she will.
00:24:50All right.
00:24:51Next up, our reality TV star and content creator dances a tango to a top ten hit from Prince's 1994 album Purple Rain.
00:25:00It's Dylan Efron and his partner, Daniella Kanagach.
00:25:04That was your breakthrough moment by a long shot.
00:25:15It's a ten!
00:25:16Perfect Ten is just a moment I'll never forget.
00:25:20The winner of the Relay Dance is Dylan and Roma.
00:25:25We're finally hitting our stride, and it's something to build off for these final two weeks.
00:25:31If you told me we would have made the semifinals week one, I would have been like, cool, but how?
00:25:36I'm a slow learner, but we've really worked hard to get here.
00:25:39Exactly.
00:25:41Okay.
00:25:41It's Prince night.
00:25:42There's no other Prince.
00:25:44I love that.
00:25:44And he's just authentically himself.
00:25:46Every night, he's a natural performer, and I think that's why he's still a legend today.
00:25:50Right.
00:25:50I think we can channel that this week, like it is the finale.
00:25:53Like, let's give it everything we've got.
00:25:55To the finale we go.
00:25:56Sharp.
00:25:57Nice.
00:25:58Bubble.
00:25:59The tango is very much upright, strong in the legs.
00:26:02Don't stick your butt out.
00:26:03And Dylan's biggest challenge is to keep his butt in.
00:26:07That is one of the biggest comments we get.
00:26:09Tuck that booty under.
00:26:10Watch out for your bum.
00:26:11She is right about that.
00:26:13Butt tucked in.
00:26:13Oh.
00:26:14Prince is tough.
00:26:15This is my last ballroom-style dance before the finale.
00:26:18The elbow shot.
00:26:19And this is my chance to prove to the judges that I've been listening.
00:26:23This is the semis, so I've got to go out there and surpass what I did last week.
00:26:28Getting closer.
00:26:28Let's do it again.
00:26:29Dancing the tango with his partner, Daniela Karagotch, it's Dylan Ephron.
00:26:36I'm not a woman.
00:26:48I'm not a man.
00:26:50I am something that you'll never understand.
00:26:53I'll never be too rude.
00:26:55I'll never lie.
00:26:57And if you're evil, I'll forgive you by and by.
00:27:00Cause you, I won't die for you.
00:27:07Wow.
00:27:15You're just a sinner, I am told.
00:27:17Be a fight when you're cold.
00:27:19Make you happy when you're sad.
00:27:21Make you good when you are bad.
00:27:23I'm not human, I'm a dog.
00:27:24I'm your conscious, I am love.
00:27:26I, I, I, I, I feel the need.
00:27:28You should know that you believe.
00:27:31I won't die for you.
00:27:36You.
00:27:38I won't die for you.
00:27:48Dylan and Daniela with a tango.
00:27:51That's to die for.
00:27:53Oh, so good, dude.
00:27:57Yeah.
00:27:58Good job.
00:27:59Great job, dude.
00:28:02All right, Carrie Ann, you're up first.
00:28:04Dylan, impressive, very smooth debonair, still leading, in control.
00:28:08You, I, hmm.
00:28:09There's a, a little bit of a mess up with the, um, the footwork, but, but listen, hold your
00:28:14booze.
00:28:16The real, the real issue to me though in this was, you gotta feel this music.
00:28:20This is Prince.
00:28:21I don't feel that you were always feeling the music.
00:28:23There were moments when you caught it, when Danielle hit it really hard, and you came back
00:28:26into feeling the depth of the music.
00:28:27I need that the whole night, okay?
00:28:29We have one more dance.
00:28:30Come on back with that.
00:28:31All right, all right.
00:28:32Derek, back with that.
00:28:33Dylan, my guy.
00:28:35Dude, you go over here, you went, shabam.
00:28:37Your arm, your frame.
00:28:39Man, the strong frame.
00:28:41Dude, it has been so fantastic to see your improvement.
00:28:44It's so extraordinary, truly.
00:28:46I was walking over there.
00:28:47Your brother was like, okay, okay.
00:28:50I will just say one tiny little thing though, just in, in the spirit of Len, actually, that
00:28:55in tango, it's all heel leads, all heel leads, and there was a lot of, you know, not heel
00:29:01leads in there, so, um, but overall, my man, that was fantastic.
00:29:04Great job, great job.
00:29:05Bruno, don't worry, your butt is beautifully under control.
00:29:11And you were clean, clear, sharp, I think leading men running the family here, I don't
00:29:17know, I'm getting a buzz in the room, but I have to say again, you've very, very much
00:29:22improved, and I actually did feel it, because he was intense, but not in an arrogant way.
00:29:28No.
00:29:28In a very firm and assertive way.
00:29:31Okay.
00:29:32I like it.
00:29:32Okay.
00:29:33We're gonna send you guys up to the skybox, you don't have to watch that anymore.
00:29:37All right.
00:29:38Now, Derek, congratulations on the new show you're taking across North America.
00:29:45Oh, yes, oh my gosh, thanks, man, y'all, I'm hitting 40 cities across the country next

00:29:59website for more information, and come dance with me, I love you all.
00:30:03Absolutely, and I know it's gonna be amazing, Julianne, take it away.
00:30:07Thanks, Alfonso.
00:30:07All right, Dylan, how has it been dancing to Prince songs all week?
00:30:11I love them, I think these songs are making my playlist, actually, like, these two are great.
00:30:14They're so good, but now, last week, you, like, had a full, massive breakthrough.
00:30:20Your dance, actually, like, those moves went viral, people all over the internet are doing
00:30:25the, like, air walk lift, in fact, can we just cut to your husband, Pasha, doing this
00:30:31moment with little Nikita, come on.
00:30:35Just like I'm on.
00:30:39Honestly, we've got more to come, you might go viral again, let's just say, let's get
00:30:43your scores.
00:30:44All right, thanks, Julianne, more semi-finalists dancing to the music of Prince are on the way.
00:31:13Jordan Childs and Ezra Sosa will jive to another one of his top ten hits next, live.
00:31:43Oh, what an amazing performer Prince was.
00:31:55Give it up for our troupe, Haley, Jackson, Carter, and Anya dancing to a clip of musicology
00:32:01from the Prince vault.
00:32:02Now, people have been sharing those moves on social media, and we want you to post your
00:32:08take using hashtag DWTSprincechallenge, all right?
00:32:12All right, well, next up, our Olympic gold medalist performs a jive to Raspberry Beret from the
00:32:181985 Prince and the Revolution album, Around the World in a Day.
00:32:22It's Jordan Childs and her partner, Ezra Sosa.
00:32:29I love the texture in the body, and I saw that.
00:32:32Give it to me, let's go!
00:32:33Yeah!
00:32:33Hey!
00:32:35We did that.
00:32:36We did it.
00:32:37Making the semi-finals is literally like making the Olympic trials.
00:32:40The winner of the Relay Dance is Jordan and Apollo!
00:32:44I'm honestly so proud, and now the competitor in me is definitely coming out.
00:32:49We made it to the semi-finals!
00:32:51Dude!
00:32:52Your second season on Dancing with the Stars, and you're in the semi-finals.
00:32:55Girl, I don't think it's clocking to me.
00:32:56Viva!
00:32:57It's Prince tonight.
00:32:58My junior season at UCLA, I did a Prince routine.
00:33:02Girl.
00:33:02And I did get a couple tens off of it, but I have never had a perfect score as a gymnast,
00:33:13so I'm waiting.
00:33:14Dancing with the Stars, UCLA, which one's going to be?
00:33:17This should be in place.
00:33:19The hardest thing to teach someone in the jive is stamina, and luckily my girl has got that
00:33:23down.
00:33:24Apparently I don't smile at them.
00:33:26The way that Prince moves and grabs a piece of your heart is exquisite, so the judges are
00:33:31going to expect the biggest thing that has been throughout the whole season.
00:33:34The emotion.
00:33:35Three, four.
00:33:39It's not my fault I know how to pop a split.
00:33:41There have been so many incredible jives this season, so I'm going to have to bring everything
00:33:45I got to make sure we finally get our perfect scores.
00:33:50There's a Prince vibe.
00:33:53Dancing the jive with her partner Ezra Sosa, it's Jordan Childs.
00:33:58One, two, one, two, three, up, go!
00:34:10Yeah!
00:34:15I was working part-time and I'm five and dine.
00:34:18My boss was Mr. Nicky.
00:34:21He told me several times that he didn't like the kind.
00:34:24Cause I was a bit too leisurely.
00:34:28It seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing, but different than the day before.
00:34:34That's when I saw her.
00:34:36Oh, I saw her.
00:34:37She was dead through the outdoor, outdoor.
00:34:40She wore a raspberry beret.
00:34:43Kind to find her in the second hand store.
00:34:46Raspberry beret.
00:34:48I think I love her.
00:34:58She wore a raspberry beret.
00:35:01The kind you find in the second hand store.
00:35:05Raspberry beret.
00:35:06I think I love her.
00:35:09I think I love her.
00:35:16Jordan and Ezra.
00:35:20Yes!
00:35:22And to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Around the World in a Day, the remastered deluxe expanded edition will be released this Friday.
00:35:31So good.
00:35:32All right, Derek, take it away.
00:35:34Jordan, that jive had that pure Prince funky fun.
00:35:38It was fresh.
00:35:39It was so fantastic.
00:35:40Well done.
00:35:42Really good.
00:35:43For me, I feel like for a jive, I wanted a little bit more attack, a little bit more sharpness, a little more bite in the movement.
00:35:47But overall, I loved like the highlight over there.
00:35:50It was fantastic.
00:35:51You always bring that.
00:35:52You always bring that.
00:35:53Well done.
00:35:54All right, Bruno.
00:35:55The energy fun.
00:35:56It was so fast, though, that you lost a little bit of time, you know, at that corner there.
00:36:03Because up till now, up till then, I was counting, listen, this is the semifinals.
00:36:09She admitted it.
00:36:10No, really.
00:36:11You were right on it.
00:36:12But obviously, to keep up the pace, things happen.
00:36:15But otherwise, it was brilliant.
00:36:17There you go.
00:36:18Absolutely, absolutely.
00:36:19Carrie Ann.
00:36:20For me, for me, for me, this was the best performance so far tonight.
00:36:23I love the energy noise.
00:36:25That's just super sharp, super strong.
00:36:27But there was the mess up.
00:36:29I saw it too, Bruno.
00:36:30Yeah, so then.
00:36:31Oh, yeah.
00:36:32So, sorry, what can I say?
00:36:33I would love to give it a score, but there was a mess up and it was a frustrating night.
00:36:36And don't be booing me anymore.
00:36:40That's her language.
00:36:41Head on up to the skybox.
00:36:43Next week, we're taking over all of ABC in prime time with our most demanding season finale in the history of the show.
00:36:51For the first time, we'll have three rounds of competition, including the instant dances and the make or break freestyles.
00:36:59Julianne.
00:37:00Oh, and honestly, with all the incredible talent that we've seen this season, you don't want to miss it.
00:37:04But we're right here with you right now.
00:37:06I want to know, you already did a gymnastics floor routine to Prince.
00:37:10How does it feel to do another Prince song tonight?
00:37:12Honestly, it's been such a remarkable experience.
00:37:15I'm very honored to do Prince tonight.
00:37:18Like you said, I did do it for my junior season.
00:37:20But you know what?
00:37:21It's always a fun vibe and it's always, you know, really magical.
00:37:24Just be able to feel his art.
00:37:25And that's what I really wanted to do today.
00:37:27Well, also, I think the judges are going pretty hard.
00:37:30The judges are going pretty hard because it's the semifinals.
00:37:33What does that feel like to get that kind of feedback?
00:37:35Not just you, but for everybody here tonight.
00:37:37Honestly, it feels amazing because that just means they know how much potential I have.
00:37:41And, you know, at the end of the day, their comments are their comments.
00:37:44And we appreciate it 100%.
00:37:47I love that attitude.
00:37:48Let's get your scores.
00:37:50Carrie-Anne Inabe.
00:37:52Nine!
00:37:54Derek Hux.
00:37:55Nine!
00:37:56Bruno Tomiomi.
00:37:57Nine!
00:37:58All right, 27 out of 30 for Jordyn and Ezra.
00:38:01So far, how do you feel about those scores?
00:38:03I'm really excited.
00:38:04That just means there's more room for improvement.
00:38:06I love it.
00:38:07Well, like all of our stars, they need votes from you to compete next week
00:38:10in our season finale.
00:38:11Their second dance to another unforgettable Prince song is coming up.
00:38:14Alfonso.
00:38:15All right.
00:38:16Thanks, Julianne.
00:38:17Now, the star who earned the first perfect score of the season is next.
00:38:21Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson dance after this live.
00:38:27Welcome back to the semifinals.
00:38:28Next up, the wildlife conservationists who earned the first perfect score of the season.
00:38:45With a jive to Baby, I'm a star from the 1984 Prince and the Revolution album Purple Rain.
00:38:52It's Robert Irwin and his partner, Whitney Carson.
00:38:56It was a touching tribute that touched all of us.
00:39:04Yes!
00:39:05Yes!
00:39:06First perfect score of the season to a dance dedicated to my dad was so incredibly meaningful.
00:39:13And we managed to win the relay dance, but now the race is on.
00:39:17Oh!
00:39:18First perfect score of the season.
00:39:21Are you kidding?
00:39:22I have one word for that.
00:39:23Crikey.
00:39:24Crikey!
00:39:25Okay.
00:39:26It's Prince night and we are dancing a jive to Baby, I'm a Star.
00:39:30Do you know that song or are you too young?
00:39:32I know I'm young, but I love Prince.
00:39:35He was just the most passionate, enthusiastic, unifying character.
00:39:39Like, I relate to that a lot.
00:39:40We've got to make it special and memorable.
00:39:43The fact that we won a jive relay last week, the judges have a direct comparison.
00:39:49And it will be better, so don't you worry about that.
00:39:52I've got so much energy because this is a jive.
00:39:54In this jive, we are going to have to amplify his technique and put a little bit more kicks
00:39:58and flicks, a little bit more content in there, so people can really realize how far Robert has come.
00:40:04It's the semi-finals, so the expectations are there and the pressure is on.
00:40:09Oh, sorry.
00:40:10We are just going again and again and again, drilling it down to the bone.
00:40:14Ball change.
00:40:15Oh, I didn't even know that was a thing.
00:40:16Because our only option is perfection.
00:40:19Oh!
00:40:23Dancing the jive with his partner Whitney Carson, it's Robert Irwin.
00:40:29One, two, three, go!
00:40:34Hey, look me over, tell me do you like what you see?
00:40:45Hey, I ain't got no money, honey I'm rich on personality.
00:40:51Hey, shake it all out, baby I know what it's all about.
00:40:57Before the night is through, you will see my point of view.
00:41:00Even if I have to scream and shout, baby I'ma stop.
00:41:04Oh!
00:41:06Might not know it now.
00:41:08Baby, guitar, I'ma stop.
00:41:10Stop!
00:41:11Oh!
00:41:12I don't want to stop.
00:41:15Gotta reach the top.
00:41:16Sing it!
00:41:17Stop!
00:41:18Baby, baby, bouier, bouier, bouier, bouier, bouier
00:41:39Robert and Whitney with a rockin' jive.
00:41:45Oh, lots of love in the ballroom now.
00:41:49Yeah, dude.
00:41:52Kill that thing.
00:41:55Come on, now.
00:41:57All right.
00:41:58Come on up here, y'all.
00:41:59Come on up here.
00:42:00Bruno, take it away.
00:42:01You see, for Prince, only a superstar jive would do.
00:42:08You did that.
00:42:09I mean, so pumped up, so energized, and at the same time in control.
00:42:16All that energy could power the country, to be honest.
00:42:20And you never put a foot wrong.
00:42:23The choreography, splendid.
00:42:26Superstar jive.
00:42:27Absolutely.
00:42:28All right, Carrie Ann.
00:42:30That is how you tell everyone you demand to be in the finale.
00:42:36When you danced like that, that was insane.
00:42:40Thank you so much.
00:42:41That was insane.
00:42:42So clean, so sharp, so buoyant, so fun, so amazing.
00:42:44You were just frickin' amazing.
00:42:45Oh, I love you.
00:42:46Amazing, amazing, amazing.
00:42:47All right, Derek.
00:42:49Robert, listen.
00:42:50That's a great example of the way, like, when you dance, you dance with your full body,
00:42:55your full charisma.
00:42:56Like, you're not, like, hitting the set.
00:42:57Oh, my God.
00:42:58You're like, pop, pop, pop, pop.
00:42:59And the slow moment, the flip over, that jive had it all.
00:43:05The sugar push.
00:43:06Yeah, the sugar push.
00:43:07I mean, it kicked the foot.
00:43:08I could go on and on and on.
00:43:09My God, that was incredible.
00:43:10Well done.
00:43:11I love it when people know the names of the moves.
00:43:13All right, head on up to the skybox.
00:43:15The star who earned 27 for her Foxtrot is on the way.
00:43:19Elaine and Alan will dance to another Prince classic in just minutes.
00:43:23Julianne.
00:43:24Hey, thanks, Alfonso.
00:43:25All right, Whitney, Robert, or should I call you the jive guy?
00:43:31I'm not sure.
00:43:32Um, honestly, between you doing the jive last week and winning the relay dance with Sochi
00:43:37and coming in, like, were you feeling pressure or confidence?
00:43:40Oh, a bit of both.
00:43:42You know, a little bit of both.
00:43:43And I've never sweat so much in my entire life.
00:43:46But it's a credit to Whitney.
00:43:47I mean, we're pushing.
00:43:48Both of us.
00:43:49We're working.
00:43:50And to bring joy into this room feels like this is what I live for.
00:43:56I know.
00:43:57I'm so proud of Robert.
00:43:58Honestly, like, I feel like I've been given a gift with him as my partner.
00:44:03And I just really appreciate everything that you've done.
00:44:06I love you.

00:52:23I'm so excited
00:52:24It lends itself to a much more emotional performance
00:52:28I've gotten so emotionally in tune with myself throughout this and I don't want to cry
00:52:35I am so excited getting to do this every day and I'm going to be so upset when this is over
00:52:42And I just...
00:52:47I've just learned so much about myself, it's given me a different work ethic and I am more confident in being prepared to fail and it's nothing I could have prepared myself for
00:52:59I have like loved waking up every day to get to come in here and dance and learn more and challenge myself and I forgot this isn't my everyday life
00:53:10Let's really savor these dances
00:53:12One, two...
00:53:14To this step
00:53:15Yeah
00:53:16The Viennese Waltz is known for its left turns, right turns, pivots, fluid movement
00:53:21Yeah
00:53:22Your energy is here, it needs to go there
00:53:24The challenging part is to then forget about it and put your soul into it
00:53:28Boom
00:53:29Turn
00:53:30Nice
00:53:31I want to wear my heart on my sleeve for this but I'm getting dizzy

00:59:11We did
00:59:12This show is much more than just learning to dance
00:59:15It's having the confidence to go out there and own a performance
00:59:18You won the show
00:59:19What's it going to take for us to get to the finale?
00:59:22Everything you've already been doing
00:59:24If you come here and you work hard and you stay focused
00:59:27That is everything a champion does
00:59:30This was a marathon not a sprint
00:59:32No
00:59:33And we're on the last leg
00:59:35We still have like another week left in us so don't give up yet
00:59:39We need to make it to the finale
00:59:41We got to
00:59:42Okay let's do this
00:59:43Since week one one of Dylan's biggest challenges was performance
00:59:47All right restart restart
00:59:48But now his confidence is higher
00:59:50So with the cha cha I am so excited for him to just take over this dance
00:59:55And get those hips rolling
00:59:56Oh my god
00:59:57I think the most demanding part in this dance is just the cardio
01:00:00So right now it's just a mental exhaustion of trying to keep the technique while having fun and being loose
01:00:06Oh
01:00:07I've been close to succeeding on a few of these Latin style dances
01:00:10So frustrating
01:00:11But I haven't nailed one yet
01:00:12So I think this is a chance for me to showcase what I've learned throughout this last ten weeks
01:00:17That's insane
01:00:18That's insane
01:00:19This whole experience has been a marathon
01:00:21And I've run a ton of marathons
01:00:23Cha cha
01:00:24So now I can actually see that finish line
01:00:26It's time to sprint
01:00:27I'm going to do everything I can to make that finale
01:00:31Oh my god
01:00:33Too much
01:00:37Dancing the cha cha
01:00:38With his partner Daniela Karagotch
01:00:40It's Dylan Efron
01:01:01I'm just doing
01:01:02Don't have to be rich
01:01:03To be my girl
01:01:04Don't have to be quick
01:01:05To be my girl
01:01:06Don't have to be quick
01:01:07Who I want
01:01:08Ain't no protect me outside
01:01:09I'm more than I can be
01:01:10I just won't jump

01:02:42I
01:02:44Like the attack this time. I definitely felt you're more connected to the music
01:02:48Sometimes your arms got a little like a little small. I know look look you guys a lot is at stake
01:02:55I have to tell him so if he's here next week. He has something to work on right
01:03:00We want everybody to do well, so
01:03:02That is what I think you need to work on and you're I've done a great job
01:03:09I'm sorry guys bear with me. It's the knee slide at the beginning so good the compact shot saves the New Yorkers
01:03:16The details man your hip action the proper Cuban motion that is not easy to do your arm
01:03:21Placement and the New Yorkers your feet were turned out nobody does that it was so so impressive man. You should be so proud
01:03:28There was
01:03:30There was a little thing there, but great job great job dude head on to the skybox
01:03:37The standard of dancing on this record-breaking season has been so exceptional that none of us want it to end
01:03:43But we will wrap it up next Tuesday night with our
01:03:48Competition-packed season finale Julianne
01:03:51I know and I can't believe how fast this season has gone by Alfonso. It's truly a testament to how hard all of these couples work
01:03:59Okay
01:04:00You've done a tango tonight. You've done a cha-cha tonight. Are you a ballroom or a Latin guy?
01:04:05The Latin's fun. I'm better at the other but the Latin's really fun. I don't know you've got that hip-pop again. I love it
01:04:11That's what we practice the most so it feels good to go out there and do it
01:04:14I I think everybody is very happy about that. All right, let's get your scores
01:04:19carry on in over
01:04:21nine
01:04:23Derrick huff the little farm on nine a great job, man. Great job. It's a ten
01:04:31All right, that's 28 out of 40 for dylan and daniela's cha-cha their total for both is 55
01:04:38All right, how bad do you want to be in this finale so bad?
01:04:41I know that she's gonna do some incredible choreo, and I want that challenge, so I'm just
01:04:46Got some freestyle magic up your sleeve. I'm sure daniela all right
01:04:50Well judges scores alone won't allow them to dance for the trophy and the title next week
01:04:55But you can help them get there with the power of your votes Alfonso all right. Thanks, Julianne
01:04:59There's more fierce competition on the way Whitney and mark perform a viennese waltz to a prince hit from sign of the times when we come back
01:05:11We're back with the pros that you can see in person this winter in our all-new live tour go to dwtstour.com for tickets and information
01:05:28The shows have been selling fast, so don't miss the chance and trust me you're gonna have the most amazing time
01:05:34I promise all right
01:05:36Well next up the star who earned 29 for her cha-cha
01:05:39Danza zavini's waltz to slow love from prince's ninth ninth album his masterpiece sign of the times
01:05:46That's right here are Whitney and mark training for this last chance to get into next week's season finale
01:05:52So this is it man, hopefully your gateway to potentially make the finale yeah, you know
01:06:00So what is this experience been like for you?
01:06:02I knew it was gonna be really challenging going into it
01:06:05Just being a fan of the show and seeing all the hard work that the stars put in but it's so different when you actually live it
01:06:12It is I feel like
01:06:19Being a part of this experience like
01:06:22Glossomed something in me that I feel like had been missing
01:06:28I've learned it's okay to be yourself and when I dance I feel most like myself so it's been really exciting to
01:06:35Reunite with that person. I just feel like this whole experience has been life-changing for me and I'm just
01:06:42I'm just so grateful
01:06:46I'm proud of you
01:06:48Good shifting. I don't know in this being these walls Whitney has to create width in her frame and we need to create space with this frame show us elegance
01:06:57Poise and try your best. It just looked like a little princess float on a cloud like I want to style it
01:07:03Cool because it's prince. There's a lot riding on this one again. Now. Let's try and get back to the center
01:07:07The most challenging thing for me is my back keeping it arched the whole time
01:07:12Use your back. It's just a very awkward position to have to hold throughout the whole entire dance
01:07:16Two three side side get in the frame. Do it again. That's where you're looking to get when I became a mom and had kids
01:07:22I didn't think I could make a living off of being a performer and entertainer
01:07:26But now it feels obtainable. Yes better and that I will forever be grateful for not bad
01:07:36Dancing the viennese waltz with her partner mark ballas. It's Whitney Levitt
01:07:46Young is the night
01:07:55It feels so right
01:08:03Let's make it slow
01:08:11Just like the wind blows
01:08:16Oh
01:08:18Let's make it
01:08:20Let's make it
01:08:22Last forever
01:08:24Oh
01:08:26A hundred times
01:08:28It wouldn't be
01:08:30Enough
01:08:32Oh
01:08:34Yeah
01:08:36Yeah
01:08:38Tonight is the night
01:08:40For making
01:08:42Slow
01:08:43Slow
01:08:58Yes
01:08:58Whitney and Mark with a vihennese waltz
01:09:00You can do this
01:09:02Oh yeah
01:09:03You can do this
01:09:04Absolutely gorgeous
01:09:06You got me?
01:09:08You can do this
01:09:10Yeah. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Carrie Ann. Wow. Okay. That was for you from all the performance that you have done, my absolute favorite. It felt so authentically you. You unmasked, you showed us truly your soul and how much you love to dance.
01:09:39And I just want to thank you for that. There was a bit of a hop, so I had to mark for that. But what you did, please, no one can take that away from you. That was outstanding. Yes, there was a two. Two. Carrie Ann, you crazy. There were two. I see what I see.
01:09:57Oh, whatever. Okay, okay. Okay, okay. Go ahead. Come on. Listen, I want to share this actually real fast. I want to commend you so much for sharing your ambition and sharing your dreams because I find that to be very courageous.
01:10:09Very courageous. A lot of people are afraid to express what they desire, what they want to do, in fear that it won't happen. It's scary to put that out there. But you put that out there, and you show up, and you deliver, and you dance, girl. You dance.
01:10:22Yes, yes, my love. Bruno. Because you are immensely talented. What we saw tonight, whatever, the quality of movement in that genieze waltz, we see very rarely. We always look for that feel, you know, guys, like the riding on the crest of a wave, when you do everything, and it's absolutely in tune and phrased with the music. Impeccable!
01:10:44Impeccable!
01:10:45I don't have to the skybox. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3 Reunion premieres December 4th, hosted by Vanderpump Villa's Stassi Schroeder. Catch Season 3 now streaming at number one on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. Julianne.
01:11:05Thanks, Alfonso. All right. Before we get started, Mark, I actually want to acknowledge something. I overheard you say, you can do this, you can do this. What does that mean?
01:11:17I think just, you know, I feel like this little girl whose dreams are coming true, and more than ever on this show, I feel like those are obtainable. I love this show! Woo!
01:11:31Well, we're gonna have to bleep that, but let's get your scores.
01:11:36Carri-Ann in Nub.
01:11:38Nine!
01:11:40Derrick Huff.
01:11:42Ten!
01:11:44Bruno Tomioli.
01:11:45Oh, yes! It is a ten!
01:11:48All right, 29 out of 30 for Whitney and Mark Zbini's Waltz. Their total for both dances is 58. Now, they want your help to compete for our Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy in next week's season finale. So text and vote online at abc.com.
01:12:04Voting closes shortly after the final competitive dance of the night. Alfonso.
01:12:08All right, thanks, Julianne. Another hit from Side of the Times is up next. Jordan and Ezra dance an Argentine tango after this, live!
01:12:17Welcome back to the semifinals. We'll continue Prince Night with an Argentine tango until you got the look from the star who earned 27 for her jive. Here are Jordan and Ezra training for her last dance to get into the finale.
01:12:30Look at us.
01:12:31We've came a long way.
01:12:32Now that we're here, how has this experience been for you?
01:12:33Words 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. It was actually something that I really wanted to pursue as a little kid.
01:12:38I'm very proud of myself. That little girl is definitely looking up at me right now and being like, you did it.
01:12:45Our Argentine tango is the last dance before finale. It's going to be a make or break moment.
01:12:52Yes, we have a chance to get into it.
01:12:54And now that we're here, how is this experience been for you?
01:12:56Words 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. It was actually something that I really wanted to pursue as a little kid.
01:13:00I'm very proud of myself. That little girl is definitely looking up at me right now and being like, you did it.
01:13:06Our Argentine tango is the last dance before finale.
01:13:11It's going to be a make or break moment.
01:13:14Yes, we have to make this dance a standout.
01:13:16I'm willing to really do anything.
01:13:18Tear me apart, do whatever.
01:13:20If I got to be in five different corners...
01:13:22I don't know how, but girl, you will figure it out.
01:13:24It's time to get to work, my dude.
01:13:26I step and you go...
01:13:28But replace my foot. Try it again.
01:13:31In order for us to succeed in this Argentine tango,
01:13:34Jordan needs to master those boleros and ganchos.
01:13:37So the things that go like...
01:13:38Oh, I forgot to flick you.
01:13:40Because everyone at home knows that stuff and it's iconic.
01:13:43Boom, boom, ha.
01:13:45What was this?
01:13:46Get the foot on the floor. Try it again.
01:13:48It's one of the harder dances that I've had to learn.
01:13:50You missed like five legs.
01:13:52I did.
01:13:53Let's come back this time.
01:13:55As a gymnast, we like to tighten our quads.
01:13:59So I do keep kicking Ezra a lot.
01:14:02Oh!
01:14:04Oh!
01:14:05You roundhouse kicked my shin.
01:14:07That felt intentional.
01:14:09Being eliminated before the finale would really suck.
01:14:12Oh!
01:14:13I want to prove to myself that I've gone through a lot,
01:14:15but look at me.
01:14:17I can be strong, I can be passionate, I can be dedicated.
01:14:20So I'm bringing Olympic-level energy
01:14:22to make sure we punch our ticket to the finale.
01:14:25Good. That was good.
01:14:26Can you do that again?
01:14:27Dancing the Argentine tango.
01:14:32With her partner Ezra Sosa, it's Jordan Childs.
01:14:36It's Jordan Childs.
01:14:37You're good.
01:14:38And you got the look.
01:14:39You're good.
01:14:40I can't believe it.
01:14:41Come on!
01:14:42This is Jordan Childs.
01:14:43It's Jordan Childs.
01:14:45It's Jordan Childs.
01:14:46It's D.
01:14:47Just what you got to look.
01:14:49You walked in.
01:14:51I woke up.
01:14:53I've never seen a pretty girl who looked so tough.
01:14:57Baby!
01:14:59You got that look
01:15:02I

01:15:23Your body's heckin' slamming
01:15:26Your love is good

01:15:36Dreamer, dreamer

01:15:46Jordan and Ezra, they got the look
01:15:54with their Argentine tango
01:15:57All right
01:16:00Right
01:16:02All right
01:16:05Derek
01:16:07Jordan, listen
01:16:09I have to tell you
01:16:10Being an athlete
01:16:12I know that the scores
01:16:14Being on top, being number one
01:16:16is important
01:16:16Well, I'll tell you, my dear
01:16:17That was a top
01:16:19Performance
01:16:20I love the lines
01:16:23The smooth, slick tricks over there
01:16:26And way to make an entrance
01:16:28I love that
01:16:29That was wonderful
01:16:30Well done
01:16:31All right, Bruno
01:16:32Beautiful
01:16:33Powerful
01:16:35Focus
01:16:36She was so strong
01:16:37You were literally leading
01:16:39She was leading Ezra
01:16:41You were really the leading lady of the dance, my darling
01:16:47Fabulous
01:16:48All right, Carrie Ann
01:16:50I'm trying to find the words to describe you
01:16:54Because you stand out
01:16:55You're in a class of your own
01:16:57You're always taking the biggest risk
01:16:59You are always moving forward to your own style
01:17:02You do not sacrifice what you want to be when you show up on this dance floor for anybody
01:17:07And I love that
01:17:08And tonight
01:17:09That was the bomb
01:17:11Come on
01:17:12All right
01:17:13Head on up to the skybox
01:17:15There is one dance to go in the semifinals
01:17:18Robert and Whitney will perform a Viennese waltz to a 2014 Prince hit
01:17:23Julianne
01:17:24Thanks, Alfonso
01:17:26Jordan
01:17:27I see you getting emotional
01:17:29How you doing?
01:17:30You want to share anything right now?
01:17:32Honestly, you know, this has been an incredible journey
01:17:36And like I said earlier, that little girl in me definitely should be very, very proud
01:17:43Now you said you haven't got a perfect score in gymnastics
01:17:47And you haven't got a perfect score yet on Dancing with the Stars
01:17:50Are you hoping for that tonight?
01:17:51I am
01:17:52Let's get your scores
01:17:54Carrie Ann Inabe
01:17:57Ten
01:17:59Derek Huff
01:18:01Ten
01:18:0330 out of 30 for Jordan and as is Argentine Tango
01:18:05Their total for both dances is 57
01:18:06Jordan, you did it!
01:18:07And just in time for the finale coming up!
01:18:08All right, well, if you have been giving them your votes throughout the season, this is not the time to stop. Vote right now to send them to next week's season finale. We're coming right back live!
01:18:10We're coming right back live!
01:18:40We're back with Prince Night. Last up, the star who earned a perfect 30 for his jive performs a Viennese waltz to wow from Prince's 36th album, 2014 Plectum Electrum. Here are Robert and Whitney in training.
01:19:02This is the dance that could get us into the finale.
01:19:05Little 11 year old me would be screaming right now. You know, when you're little and you enter the Dancing with the Stars ballroom, my eyes are just so wide. It all just seemed so enormous. But having this experience myself, it actually feels ten times bigger.
01:19:22I am walking a path that my sister forged and it's been a great honor to do that. But now in the semifinals, it's time to write our own story and it's time to create my own legacy.
01:19:33There's no room for anything other than perfect because I know that everybody else is going to be bringing their best. I just want to pour my heart and soul into it.
01:19:41Let's amp this up and get ourselves to the finale. Let's go. Viennese waltz. It's a lot of rotation. The difficult part about Viennese waltz for Robert is the footwork and the technique. So there's no stumbles and there's no falls.
01:19:54Oh my god! There are such high stakes. Crap! So it really has to be perfect. Get into it. It's just the character.
01:20:02The hardest part of this Viennese waltz is the fact that I have to be so passionate and intense with Whitney. That's just not our dynamic. This is weird.
01:20:10Closer. Like...
01:20:12This show has been everything to me and we have hit a lot of challenges along the way. Tonight, if we get this right, we're on to the finale. And that will be the ultimate dream come true.
01:20:25Ha ha!
01:20:28Dancing the Viennese waltz with his partner Whitney Carson, it's Robert Irwin.
01:20:33Hello. Hello. You're looking so far. You know it's true.
01:20:53Remember the time when we first met. You think that was good. You ain't seen nothing yet.
01:21:01Like a penis of heart and I'm off to a plane. You got an addiction and you got me away.
01:21:11It's so incoming, but I made no claims. It's now. You can call it the unexpected or you can call it...
