00:00:00I admire how my husband makes everyone feel so seen.
00:00:03I just am so happy I could have a father like him.
00:00:08I can't imagine doing life without her.
00:00:12She really does keep me young-ish.
00:00:16I see the world through her eyes and it's given me that courage.
00:00:21I am the person I am today because of her.
00:00:24My mom is the strongest human being I know.
00:00:27He has lived an exemplary life and he deserves this kind of spotlight.
00:00:33I couldn't have done this without you.
00:00:37This?
00:00:37This?
00:00:38This is my dedication.
00:00:40Let's crush this dance floor, Dad.
00:00:41Live from Hollywood, it's Dedication Night on Dancing with the Stars.
00:01:00Please welcome your hosts, Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Huff.
00:01:05Welcome to Dancing with the Stars, Dedication Night.
00:01:10And it promises to be a special one.
00:01:13So, let's welcome our stars.
00:01:15Comedian Andy Richter and Emma Slater.
00:01:24Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson.
00:01:28Film and TV actresses Avain Hendricks and Alan Burstyn.
00:01:32From the secret lives of Mormon wives, Whitney Levitt and Mark Ballas.
00:01:36Olympic gold medalist Jordan Childs and Ezra Sonson.
00:01:39Reality TV star and content creator Dylan Efron and Daniela Karagach.
00:01:44From the secret lives of Mormon wives, Jen Affleck and Jan Ravnick.
00:01:49From Pentatonix, Grammy winner Scott Hoying and Riley Arnold.
00:01:53Boy Meets World star Danielle Fischel and Pasha Pashkar.
00:01:56And social media personality Alex Earle and Val Chmankowski.
00:02:00For this night of heartfelt stories and emotional dances,
00:02:14we've asked our stars to dedicate their performances
00:02:17to someone who had a profound impact on their lives.
00:02:21And, for the first time ever, to incorporate that person into their routine.
00:02:26You at home should base your votes and the judges will base their scores
00:02:30on the performances of the stars, not their guests.
00:02:34And speaking of guests, we're celebrating our 20th year
00:02:37with some Dancing with the Stars icons.
00:02:40Joining the judges tonight is former pro and two-time champion,
00:02:44Kim Johnson.
00:02:46Yeah!
00:02:49Yes!
00:02:51Kim, what are you hoping to see tonight?
00:02:55Well, I know tonight means so much to everyone,
00:02:59so I'm really looking forward to seeing all of the emotions,
00:03:02the feeling, but I'm also looking forward to seeing
00:03:05the fundamentals we need to see in each stand,
00:03:07whether it's the gray frame, fluidity of movement.
00:03:10So I want all the feelings, plus I want to see the technique, too.
00:03:14All right, all right, all right.
00:03:15Well, so great to have you here.
00:03:17Love you.
00:03:18I love it.
00:03:19Well, voting is open right now and is available to the U.S.,

00:03:34You get 10 votes per couple per voting method.
00:03:38All right, up first, the star who you brought back to dance again.
00:03:42It's comedian Andy Richter and his partner, Emma Slater.
00:03:49We made it through.
00:03:50Can you believe it?
00:03:51A lot of people probably thought that you wouldn't be here.
00:03:54Ding, ding, ding.
00:03:55This one right here.
00:03:58I want you to challenge yourself just a little bit more, okay?
00:04:00Sit.
00:04:01It's amazing.
00:04:02They saved us.
00:04:03I'm so proud of you.
00:04:04Thank you so much.
00:04:05So who do you want to dedicate this night to?
00:04:08My daughter, Cornelia.
00:04:09I have two older kids.
00:04:11I did not think I would be having any more.
00:04:13And then I met Jennifer Herrera.
00:04:16She was a single mom.
00:04:17And Cornelia was such a special, wonderful, funny kid.
00:04:20She really invigorated my life.
00:04:23After we were married, it was a no-brainer for me to adopt Cornelia.
00:04:27I'm daddy, and she's my daughter.
00:04:29And it's as if I'd been there forever.
00:04:31Oh, that makes me so happy.
00:04:33It's just great.
00:04:34Left foot back, right foot back, and then pop.
00:04:36And then open.
00:04:37Hi!
00:04:37Oh, my gosh!
00:04:40The star!
00:04:41Hi, honey.
00:04:42You look so cute.
00:04:44Emma's going to teach us how to dance.
00:04:46Not only is Andy doing a lot of salsa content.
00:04:49You ready to do this now?
00:04:51Cornelia is also doing salsa content.
00:04:53Hooray!
00:04:54Wow!
00:04:55He is so present and so connected, and the joy on his face is just beautiful.
00:05:00You got that faster than daddy!
00:05:02Hey!
00:05:02Well, look!
00:05:03I just was willing to be a single mom, and then Andy entered my life.
00:05:08He's the best guy.
00:05:09And the bond that Andy and Cornelia have fills my whole heart.
00:05:12Yeah!
00:05:13This is going to be their special memory together forever.
00:05:16Yeah!
00:05:16Having Cornelia on the ballroom floor with me is absolutely the highlight of my time here.
00:05:22I hope Cornelia can feel how happy that this will make me, too.
00:05:27I love my dad this much.
00:05:30I think the judge is to give daddy a 10.
00:05:34Yeah!
00:05:35Yeah!

00:07:51I get so excited to see what you're going to do every single week
00:07:54Thank you
00:07:54And I can relate to you and Emma
00:07:56Because way, way back in season three
00:07:58I danced with Jerry Springer
00:07:59We had the bottom scores every week
00:08:01But we kept getting through
00:08:02And you can
00:08:03Couldn't get rid of you, couldn't we?
00:08:04No, you couldn't
00:08:04But you connect with people
00:08:06And America loves you
00:08:07Emma, keep giving us this magic
00:08:09All right, all right
00:08:10You know
00:08:11I love it with you
00:08:12With him it's always
00:08:14It's show time, folks
00:08:16Let's have a good time
00:08:17Sweetness, light, all things bright
00:08:19And you, naughty girl
00:08:20I love it, I love it
00:08:21We had our little baby spies here
00:08:24And you're
00:08:25I love naughty girls
00:08:28Listen
00:08:28Plenty of steps

00:08:34Done
00:08:34All right
00:08:35Sherri-Ann
00:08:36Okay
00:08:38I saw improvement tonight
00:08:41When you started at Sasa
00:08:43There was something going on
00:08:44Like that magic
00:08:45You're starting to feel really comfortable in the moves
00:08:47Which I love
00:08:48Adding Cornelie is a bonus, obviously
00:08:50But
00:08:50But
00:08:51To offset the improvement
00:08:54I saw
00:08:54You were off in the musicality in the beginning
00:08:56And I'm so sorry
00:08:57But you still brought all of the joy to this room
00:08:59That's the joy
00:09:01Derek

00:11:05It's Robert Irwin
00:11:06And Whitney Carson
00:11:07Last week
00:11:11We haven't dipped
00:11:12But we just had

00:11:19Eight

00:11:20I gotta step it up
00:11:22A notch
00:11:22So it's dedication night
00:11:24I want to dedicate
00:11:26This dance to my mom
00:11:27She's an absolute
00:11:28Hero to me
00:11:29Because I was two
00:11:31When I lost dad
00:11:32And as I got older
00:11:33I started to realise
00:11:34Just how hard
00:11:35It would have been
00:11:36For her
00:11:36To be there for us
00:11:38And all the while
00:11:39Continue
00:11:40Dad's legacy
00:11:41That her and dad
00:11:42Built together
00:11:43It's incredible
00:11:44I've never really been
00:11:45Able to capture
00:11:46What it
00:11:46Like
00:11:47I've never been able
00:11:55To capture
00:11:56The feeling
00:11:56Of gratitude
00:11:58That I feel
00:12:01For her
00:12:02And at every
00:12:04Milestone
00:12:05When I just
00:12:05Wished
00:12:06When I just
00:12:08Wished that my dad
00:12:09Was there
00:12:10She was
00:12:12She was there
00:12:14And that was enough
00:12:15I struggle a lot
00:12:18With losing dad
00:12:19A lot
00:12:19And she always
00:12:21Made sure
00:12:22My dad
00:12:23Was present
00:12:24In our lives
00:12:25I wanted to know
00:12:27How proud my dad
00:12:28Would be of her
00:12:28Her strength
00:12:30And your strength
00:12:31Is so inspiring
00:12:33Come here
00:12:35I tried to hang on
00:12:38In this contemporary
00:12:43We're really trying
00:12:44To tell Robert's story
00:12:46And help people
00:12:48Along that grief journey
00:12:49Welcome
00:12:50So excited
00:12:50I'm so excited
00:12:50To see you guys
00:12:53I'm here to cry
00:12:54Oh no no
00:12:56There's been a lot
00:12:56Of that going around
00:12:57After we lost Steve
00:12:59It was difficult
00:13:00To smile again
00:13:01For quite a while
00:13:02So for him to say
00:13:04You lifted me up
00:13:06Honestly
00:13:06It was the opposite
00:13:08Because of them
00:13:09I could get up
00:13:10Every morning
00:13:11So every day
00:13:12I'm a proud mama
00:13:13Looking at each other
00:13:15Can you look at me
00:13:15This is
00:13:16A moment
00:13:18With my mum
00:13:19That I will cherish forever
00:13:20And I know my dad
00:13:22Would be so proud

00:19:59I called
00:19:59Was Lisa

00:27:33Married for
00:27:34Almost ten years now
00:27:36We dated for four months
00:27:37And then got married
00:27:38Oh my god
00:27:40There's a specific time
00:27:41In our relationship
00:27:42Where we were
00:27:43The most distant
00:27:45Being able to
00:27:46Get out of that
00:27:47Made our relationship
00:27:48Even stronger
00:27:49Stronger yeah
00:27:49Connor's given up a lot
00:27:52For me to
00:27:53Pursue these dreams
00:27:54He's quit his job
00:27:56Moved here to LA
00:27:57Hard hit hard
00:27:58He's getting up
00:27:59With the kids
00:28:00And I don't feel like
00:28:01Everybody gets that
00:28:02And now I get to

00:28:21In words what it means
00:28:22That you want to
00:28:23Involve me in this dance
00:28:24The story in this dance
00:28:25Is that they're
00:28:26Playing themselves
00:28:27And I'm going to be
00:28:28Playing the thing
00:28:29That's trying to
00:28:30Keep them apart
00:28:32Whitney is my life
00:28:34She's my home
00:28:35And to know
00:28:36She's dedicating
00:28:36This song and dance
00:28:37To me
00:28:38It makes me feel
00:28:39Like she looks back
00:28:40On those trying times
00:28:41And says I made
00:28:42The right decision
00:28:42To stay
00:28:43Ready
00:28:44Almost
00:28:46Being able to

00:31:02You're up.
00:31:03Listen, dancing is so healing.
00:31:07And that was so beautiful to watch you share that moment with your husband.
00:31:11So beautiful and so impressive.
00:31:13Wow, Connor, you're a dancer.
00:31:15What?
00:31:16That was amazing.
00:31:17No, the storytelling, the choreography, the musicality, one thing.
00:31:23I will just say the little note I have is lots of little bit of you're out of sync on the side by side a little bit.
00:31:28But that happens with a complicated and challenging routine.
00:31:32But well done.
00:31:33Both of you.
00:31:33Both of you.
00:31:35I agree with Derek.
00:31:37But Mark, you had corner dancing.
00:31:39Like, that was incredible.
00:31:41Whitney, I have loved you every week.
00:31:42You are so special.
00:31:44You own this floor.
00:31:45When you actually walk onto the floor, we're in Whitney's world.
00:31:48And I love it.
00:31:49All right.
00:31:50Bruno.
00:31:50I mean, I am literally breathless.
00:31:53You know, the twist, the turns, the ups, the downs, the drama.
00:31:57It was like white lotus.
00:31:59You know, with a happy ending.
00:32:01But a very, very ambitious routine.
00:32:04Wonderful.
00:32:05There is only a slight, you know, which is very unusual for you.
00:32:10A tiny, tiny mistake.
00:32:12But you should be proud of it because you're pushing the boundaries.
00:32:14Great.
00:32:15Okay.
00:32:15Here we are.
00:32:20When you dance, just dance, it's like you bring me to a place of emotions that's just, it's hard to put to words.
00:32:27And it's why some of us became dancers.
00:32:30It's for this.
00:32:31It's a way to cope with emotions.
00:32:33It's a way to turn the difficult moments into something beautiful.
00:32:37Watching this choreography, Mark, brilliant choreography.
00:32:40Connor, brilliant performance.
00:32:41Way to show up for your wife.
00:32:43Wonderful.
00:32:44Whitney, that was amazing.
00:32:46But you were out of sync.
00:32:47It was amazing, though.
00:32:48Amazing.
00:32:50That's how husbands show up for their wives.
00:32:53Great job.
00:32:54Head on up to the skybox, y'all.
00:32:55The star who wowed the crowd on Disney night with her Aladdin-themed jazz routine is next with her dedication dance.
00:33:05Jen Affleck and Jan Ravnick will perform a Viennese waltz with someone special in her life.
00:33:12Julianne.
00:33:12Thanks, Alfonso.
00:33:14Mark and Whitney coming up here to all this support.
00:33:19Whitney.
00:33:21Whitney.
00:33:22We know how much Connor means to you.
00:33:26But how impressed are you with his dance skills?
00:33:28I'm very impressed.
00:33:29He might need to be on the next season.
00:33:31Yeah.
00:33:31Yeah.
00:33:32Okay, well, you know what?
00:33:37Let's just get right to it.
00:33:38Let's get to your scores right after this.
00:33:41We're back.
00:33:54Before the break, Whitney and Mark performed a contemporary routine that Derek said was beautiful to watch.
00:34:00Yes, it was.
00:34:01Let's get their scores.
00:34:04Carrie-Anne Inaba.
00:34:06Nine!
00:34:08Derek Hutz.
00:34:09The last thing was so good.
00:34:11Eight.
00:34:12Kim Johnson.
00:34:13I loved it, but an eight.
00:34:16Bruno Tanyoli.
00:34:17Eight.
00:34:1833 out of 40 for Whitney and Mark.
00:34:22You can't assume any of our stars are safe on judges' scores alone.
00:34:26You have to get behind your favorites with your votes.
00:34:29Alfonso.
00:34:30Thanks, Julianne.
00:34:31These fans have apparently raided our brand new official merchandise store.
00:34:35If you want to get your swag on, go to DancingWithTheStarStore.com.
00:34:40All right?
00:34:40Next up, the star who last week earned her highest scores of the season.
00:34:45Tonight, she dedicates a Viennese waltz to motherhood.
00:34:48From the secret lives of Mormon wives, Jen Affleck and her partner, Yon Rao.
00:34:52You did so good, but it was a little bit stressful.
00:34:58I definitely tried my best.
00:35:00I think you need to make it a little bit more challenging as we move forward.
00:35:05You just didn't get me over the top.
00:35:07I don't think people realize how much work I put into that, especially still being postpartum.
00:35:14Yes, it was great.
00:35:15This week, it's dedication night.
00:35:17I want to dedicate this dance to my mom because my mom was raised in Ecuador.
00:35:22She moved to America when she was 26, and there are many times that she was working and being
00:35:30a mom at the same time.
00:35:31And so, to me, my mom is just, she's a warrior.
00:35:38Like, she is a warrior.
00:35:39I didn't realize how much she did for me until I became a mom myself.
00:35:44I'm so grateful to know that I have her right next to me because she knows what it's like.
00:35:48Because of, like, her sacrifice, I have everything that I have now.
00:35:52And I'm crying.
00:35:53Great.
00:35:54Now, Steph.
00:35:55Yay!
00:35:57We're so happy you're here.
00:35:59Who would have thought that we'd be able to dance together?
00:36:01I'm going to be a star, too, like you.
00:36:03Yes!
00:36:03Oh, my God.
00:36:05One, two.
00:36:07Business Walls is a good style where we can show emotions, and especially all these memories
00:36:12about how much her mom did for her.
00:36:15See?
00:36:15Ballerina.
00:36:16It's very special that Jennifer dedicated dancing for me.
00:36:20I just want you to know how much I love and appreciate you.
00:36:25Don't cry.
00:36:26She's a beautiful mom, and she's good friend.
00:36:29Look at this.
00:36:30I want this dance to not only be dedicated to my mom, but to all the moms out there.
00:36:35You are seen, you are loved, and you're appreciated.
00:36:39Oh, okay.
00:36:40That's it.
00:36:40You got it, Mom.
00:36:44Dancing the Viennese Waltz with her partner Jan Ravnick, it's Jen Affleck.
00:36:48You are not hidden.
00:37:02There's never been a moment you were forgotten.
00:37:09I hear you whisper under me, your breath.
00:37:19I will send out an army to find you in the middle of the darkest night.
00:37:30Night, it's true.
00:37:31I will rescue you.
00:37:39I will never stop marching to reach you in the middle of the hardest night.
00:37:50It's true.
00:37:51I will rescue you.
00:38:00Oh, I will rescue you.
00:38:11Jen and Jan performing a beautiful Viennese Waltz with her mom, Maria.
00:38:16So beautiful.
00:38:19Come on over here, ladies.
00:38:21Absolutely.
00:38:23We love the moms.
00:38:25Moms take care of all of us.
00:38:27Kim.
00:38:27Oh, Maria.
00:38:29I mean, I could feel the love between the two of you.
00:38:32You have a different appreciation for a mom when you become one yourself, don't you?
00:38:36It was beautiful to see.
00:38:38Yeah.
00:38:39As the Viennese Waltz, what I would like to see, I want to see a little more grounded into
00:38:44the floor so you can then get a little more movement.
00:38:46So think about when you're practicing on your own, holding two heavy bags but being pulled
00:38:50up by your center so you have that weight into the floor, but you still keep that length.
00:38:54That might help you throughout the future dances.
00:38:56All right, Kim.
00:38:57He and your score and then Bruna.
00:38:59Oh, my love.
00:39:00There is nothing like mother's love, really.
00:39:03It will be there forever, always with you.
00:39:05And you express that.
00:39:06So lovely to see.
00:39:07Now, getting to the Viennese Waltz, my darling, we told you before, you know, it's getting
00:39:11better, but you have to continue this flow through the bars of the music.
00:39:16Sometimes you still throw it a little bit, yeah?
00:39:19So correct that, but beautiful, my love.
00:39:22Okay, Carrie Ann.
00:39:25Jen, that was the most passionate dance you performed yet.
00:39:32You really threw yourself into it.
00:39:34I love seeing the freedom after you dance with your beautiful mom.
00:39:37I see where you get your courage from.
00:39:39That moment when you did that, oh, there was just something profound.
00:39:42And these are the moments we live for on Dance With The Stars.
00:39:44Thank you, mama.
00:39:45Yeah.
00:39:46Yeah.
00:39:46Derek.
00:39:48You know, it's amazing just, like, seeing you right now and you just have this, you look
00:39:53like a daughter right now, especially her mom, which is really beautiful.
00:39:57Listen, it was graceful, it was beautiful, and really, this is a moment for you two.
00:40:01And I hope you enjoy this moment.
00:40:04Head on up to the skybox.
00:40:05Thank you for joining us.
00:40:06Dylan Efron and Daniela Karagach will be next on the floor to dance with his little sister
00:40:13Olivia.
00:40:14If you want to see them prepared, check them out live on TikTok at official DWTS.
00:40:21Julianne, they're making their way up to you.
00:40:22Yes, they are.
00:40:23There is so much behind-the-scenes action to see live on TikTok, Alfonso.
00:40:26And also so much mom content tonight that it's really beautiful.
00:40:32I think we're all feeling it.
00:40:34Okay, Jen.
00:40:35Wow.
00:40:36How are you?
00:40:37I just want to ask you, because you are emotional right now, what do you want to say?
00:40:42If you watched my journey on Secret Lives, you know that this last year has been one of
00:40:47the hardest years of my life with prenatal and postpartum depression.
00:40:51If you're a mom, you know.
00:40:52And so I didn't realize how much my mom went through until I became a mother myself.
00:40:59So this is for all the moms out there.
00:41:02That's beautiful.
00:41:03Let's get your scores.
00:41:06Carrie-Anne Inaba.
00:41:08Eight.
00:41:10Derek Huff.
00:41:12Seven.
00:41:13Kim Johnson.
00:41:15Seven.
00:41:16Bruno Tognoli.
00:41:18Seven.
00:41:18That's 29 out of 40 for Jen and Jan.
00:41:22Like all of our stars, they want your votes to keep them safe from elimination.
00:41:27Voting closes shortly after the final competitive dance of the night.
00:41:30Alfonso.
00:41:31All right.
00:41:31Thanks, Jillian.
00:41:32We've got some more heartfelt dedications for you.
00:41:35Dylan Efron and Daniela Ketagach are next.
00:41:37And then our Olympic champion dedicates a Viennese waltz to her champion, her dad.
00:41:42Jordan Childs and Ezra Sosa are on the way.
00:41:45Live.
00:41:45Welcome back.
00:41:57Our next star dances with his sister to a song by their brother from The Greatest Showman.
00:42:02It's reality TV star and content creator Dylan Efron and his partner Daniela Ketagach.
00:42:11Killed it.
00:42:12You did so well.
00:42:12I definitely trusted myself a little bit more.
00:42:14Your confidence is getting stronger.
00:42:16Definitely.
00:42:18Wow.
00:42:19Dylan, the quick step king.
00:42:21Let's go.
00:42:22Seven.
00:42:23Eight.
00:42:23Give it up.
00:42:25So we're dancing a contemporary to rewrite the stars by your brother and Zendaya.
00:42:32I can't wait.
00:42:33I'm dedicating this dance to my little sister, Olivia.
00:42:35I wasn't expecting to be a big brother.
00:42:37She's five and I'm 33.
00:42:39But immediately I was inseparable from her.
00:42:42She's the world to me.
00:42:44I want to show her to live her life with confidence.
00:42:47Now being able to dance to rewrite the stars.
00:42:49This is a nod to my brother.
00:42:51Zach's always taking care of me.
00:42:52And like he did things that were so selfless.
00:42:55I want to be that to Olivia.
00:42:56That's so sweet.
00:42:57Don't do it.
00:42:57Don't do that.
00:42:58Don't do that.
00:42:59I want to be the best role model I can.
00:43:03Dramatic.
00:43:04The contemporary is about raw emotion.
00:43:07Oh, God.
00:43:08Dylan is shy.
00:43:09So having Olivia here.
00:43:10You're dancing with us this week.
00:43:12Hopefully you can bring a whole new level of confidence for him.
00:43:16Can you show us how you point your toes?
00:43:18Oh, my God.
00:43:20Can you teach Dylan how to do that, please?
00:43:24It's going to make me really happy to be on stage with you.
00:43:28Let's start dancing.
00:43:28Yeah.
00:43:30Let's do it.
00:43:31And you're going to draw a rainbow.
00:43:32Nice.
00:43:33I just like being with Dylan.
00:43:36He's my best friend.
00:43:38And I just feel like I'm free with him.
00:43:42Already got it.
00:43:42She loves me.
00:43:43And I can tell it.
00:43:45It's authentic love.
00:43:46And I'm going to give it right back to her.
00:43:48You're going to look like a little flamingo.
00:43:49Oh, my God.
00:43:51Are you kidding me?
00:43:52This is definitely the best moment in the show so far for me.
00:43:58Dancing Contemporary with his partner, Daniela Karagocz, it's Dylan Efron.
00:44:04Nothing could keep us apart.
00:44:18You'd be the one I was meant to find.
00:44:21It's up to you.
00:44:23It's up to me.
00:44:25No one can say what we get to be.
00:44:29So why don't we be like the stars?
00:44:33Maybe the world could be ours.
00:44:38And I know all I want is to fly with you.
00:44:42All I want is to fall with you.
00:44:46Don't you stick to me all on you.
00:44:51It feels impossible.
00:44:52It's not impossible.
00:44:53Is it impossible?
00:44:54Say what is possible.
00:44:58I will reach free to write the stars.
00:45:02Say you've been made to be mine.
00:45:06I will reach free to write the stars.
00:45:09Changing the world to be ours tonight.
00:45:15Dylan and Daniela with a contemporary routine and a special appearance by his sister.
00:45:31Oh, so wonderful.
00:45:33Olivia.
00:45:35Danny's coming.
00:45:36She's coming.
00:45:37Come on over here.
00:45:38Olivia, how much fun was that?
00:45:40It was so much fun.
00:45:42Yes, you are amazing.
00:45:46That's my new best friend.
00:45:47That is my new best friend.
00:45:48Bruno, talk to him.
00:45:50What have we got here?
00:45:51The next greatest showman.
00:45:55And Olivia, little Olivia, prima ballerina.
00:45:59I noticed those feet.
00:46:00I'm telling you, very well pointed.
00:46:03Listen, but fantastic number.
00:46:06How you manage that lift?
00:46:07That is so difficult to do.
00:46:09You never danced before.
00:46:10It's incredible.
00:46:11You're getting better and better and better every week.
00:46:15Carrie Ann.
00:46:16Oh, there's so much I want to say.
00:46:17Okay, I've got to pull it together.
00:46:18Pull it together, pull it together.
00:46:19Okay.
00:46:19I felt that story to the bottom of my soul.
00:46:22And what I loved about this story, Olivia, you are incredible.
00:46:25And the message, the message of your, of this performance was incredible.
00:46:31The hope and the love that you feel for her was infused in every step of this dance.
00:46:36You have done such an incredible job with the choreography, telling this story.
00:46:39This was, it's so wonderful watching how everybody uses this strategy.
00:46:43It was brilliant.
00:46:44And it just, you made my night.
00:46:46I mean, that was brilliant.
00:46:47You made my night.
00:46:49Dylan, Dylan, I hate you.
00:46:54You're a great guy.
00:46:57You're in shape.
00:46:59You can dance.
00:47:01And you're a great brother.
00:47:03Come on, man.
00:47:05The way, the way you came down that floor on that first pass, I was like, my guy is a dancer.
00:47:14Wow.
00:47:15Well done.
00:47:17Kim.
00:47:17Olivia, you made your brother look so great out there.
00:47:21And, Daniela, you have been incredible every week in teaching Dylan the technique of each different style.
00:47:27And you are actually doing it, Dylan.
00:47:29Yeah.
00:47:29You are improving and becoming such a great dancer.
00:47:33You really are.
00:47:35All right.

00:48:12But first, oh my goodness, Dylan, any time that you are around, Olivia, you just light up.
00:48:20What has it meant to have her in your life?
00:48:23I just, I wasn't expecting it when she came into my life.
00:48:26It's just like endless love from her.
00:48:28It's like, it's so rare to feel that way.
00:48:31Well, I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see your scores.

00:49:37But you're not in love.
00:49:38But I hear sounds in my mind.
00:49:45But honey, I'll be seeing you down every road.
00:49:51I'm waiting for you, that green light, I want it.

00:49:58I'm waiting for you, that green light, I want it.
00:50:01I'm on the island, to get my things, but I can't let go.
00:50:06I'm waiting for you, that green light, I want it.
00:50:08I'm on the island, to get my things, and just let go.
00:50:13I'm waiting for you, I'd be like, I want it.
00:50:24Julianne, Anya, and Hailey choreographed by Jenna and Britt.
00:50:29So great to have Julianne back on the floor.
00:50:32All right, next up, our Olympic gold medalist
00:50:34dedicates a V&E's waltz to her dad.
00:50:37It's Jordan Childs and her partner, Ezra Sosa.
00:50:40Disney night, what were our scores?
00:50:45What's four plus four?
00:50:46Eight.
00:50:47Period.
00:50:48And times that by three.
00:50:51Great, vivacious, you are dance royalty.
00:50:57We can really work for that night now.
00:50:59Yes.
00:51:00It's dedication night.
00:51:01Do you know who you're dedicating it to?
00:51:03My dad, he is my truest heart.
00:51:06I had really bad ADHD when I was younger.
00:51:08And I'm just bouncing off walls.
00:51:10And so my dad, he called my mom and was like, we got to do something.
00:51:14My dad decided to put me in gymnastics because he felt like that would be an outlet for me.
00:51:18He helped start my career of gymnastics.
00:51:21So I have a man that I can look up to.
00:51:24Do you know how healing that is like, sorry.
00:51:26It's healing because I don't have a relationship with my own.
00:51:32I appreciate you allowing my dad to kind of be a father to you because that's just how my dad is.
00:51:39And they will be able to see that within the dance.
00:51:42It's been a long time no see, my guy.
00:51:47I know.
00:51:48How you doing?
00:51:48We're so excited that you are here this week.
00:51:51She's my baby.
00:51:53I just want you guys to be successful.
00:51:54Left arm is going to go up like this.
00:51:56We are dancing to Daughters by John Mayer.
00:51:58Okay, rock the boat.
00:51:59So Jordan's Viennese Waltz, it's all about telling the story of Jordan and her father.
00:52:03I don't want to drop my baby.
00:52:04You're not going to drop me.
00:52:06I'm so proud.
00:52:07Sometimes I sit back and I say, that's my kid.
00:52:10Like, that is my kid.
00:52:11After this dance, I hope dads call their daughters and young ladies call their dads.
00:52:17I didn't tell Ezra he's been accepted by you, if that's okay.
00:52:20Aw.
00:52:22Dad, you are my superhero every single day.
00:52:24You're family now.
00:52:26And we get to dance together.
00:52:28I love you.
00:52:32Dancing the Viennese Waltz with her partner Ezra Sosa, it's Jordan Childs.
00:52:37I know a girl, she puts the color inside of my world.
00:52:54She's just like a maze, where all of the walls are continually changed.
00:53:03And I've done all I can to stand on the steps with my heart in my hands.
00:53:14And now I'm starting to see, baby, it's got nothing to do with me.
00:53:23Fathers, be good to your daughters.
00:53:25Fathers, be good to your daughters.
00:53:31Daughters will love like you do.
00:53:36Girls become lovers who turn into mothers.
00:53:41So mothers, be good to your daughters too.
00:53:45So, mothers, be good to your daughters, too.
00:53:57Yes.
00:53:58Jordan and Ezra with a lovely Viennese Waltz featuring her dad, Timothy.
00:54:04Yes.
00:54:06Timothy, how important is it to you to be a great dad for Jordan?
00:54:12It's one of the most important things in my life.
00:54:15Absolutely.
00:54:16We love great fathers.
00:54:18Carrie Ann.
00:54:21The reverence that I just witnessed was profound.
00:54:25The respect and love that you showed for your daughter in that dance by showing up and actually pretty much doing the whole dance.
00:54:31Pretty incredible.
00:54:32And I'm sorry, we're not judging you, sir, Timothy.
00:54:36But I just have to point it out because it was really touching and profound.
00:54:40And Ezra, kudos to you for that.
00:54:41Jordan, you are blossoming into something spectacular.
00:54:48I got it.
00:54:49Derek.
00:54:49Well, watching you two dance really made me excited to have that own, my own moment with my own child.
00:54:59Um, it's so beautiful.
00:55:03You certainly, it was, it was, there was a tenderness.
00:55:06It was simple.
00:55:07It was, there was a care to it.
00:55:09It was just a really beautiful dance.
00:55:10And I hope you both cherish that moment.
00:55:12Well done.
00:55:13Kim.
00:55:13Well, it doesn't get much better than a father-daughter dance.
00:55:16And Ezra, you really took a risk on having them dance together solo for quite a long time, but it paid off.
00:55:23You, you were actually leading your dad and you were dancing beautifully.
00:55:26So much breath in your movement and your extension.
00:55:30I think you are a beautiful dancer.
00:55:32And you have, you have the determination to go all the way to the end.
00:55:36You really do.
00:55:37Bruno.
00:55:40Elegance, style, and poise, sir.
00:55:43You've got it.
00:55:44And your daughter.
00:55:45I'm so proud of her because what she's done from the beginning during this competition has been brilliant.
00:55:51She gets better and better and better.
00:55:53Your musicality improves every week.
00:55:57Keep going, my love.
00:55:58Keep going.
00:55:59Timothy, is there anything you want to say to Jordan right now?
00:56:05I love you and let's get to the top.
00:56:09All right.
00:56:10Let's get to the top.
00:56:11Top of those stairs in the skybox, y'all.
00:56:13All right.
00:56:14And as they take a moment to collect themselves, let's check out where our first six couples stand on the leaderboard.
00:56:20Currently at the top are Dylan and Daniella with 36.
00:56:24And currently at the bottom are Andy and Emma with 24.
00:56:27Julianne.
00:56:28Thanks, Alfonso.
00:56:30As they head on up, I just want to acknowledge the fact that this is a very cool night and we should do this more where we bring our favorite people we want to dedicate this to.
00:56:39Okay.
00:56:40Come on over here.
00:56:41Hi, gorgeous.
00:56:42Hello.
00:56:42All right.
00:56:43If your dad had never put you in gymnastics in the first place, what do you think your life would be like today?
00:56:52Oh, honestly, I couldn't tell you.
00:56:55I don't think I would be this humble girl who has the opportunity to have a dance on the biggest show of her career.
00:57:04And to understand that every little girl should enjoy their moments with their father's.
00:57:11Let's get your scores.
00:57:13Carianne Inabe.
00:57:17Eight.
00:57:18Derek Huff.
00:57:20Eight.
00:57:21Kim Johnson.
00:57:23Eight.
00:57:24Eight.
00:57:24Bruno Tomiobi.
00:57:26Eight.
00:57:26Thirty-two out of forty for Jordan and Ezra.
00:57:30If you were moved by their dedication, let us know with your votes, Alfonso.
00:57:34All right.
00:57:35Thanks, Julianne.
00:57:35Our Grammy-winning singer-songwriter is on the way with a dedication routine to his own song.
00:57:41Scott Hoeing and Riley Arnold are up next, live.
00:57:55Welcome back.
00:57:56Dedication Night continues with the star who last week was praised for his growing confidence and showmanship.
00:58:03Tonight, he dedicates a Foxtrot to his biggest supporter, his husband, Mark.
00:58:08From Pentatonix, it's Grammy-winner Scott Hoeing and his partner, Riley Arnold.
00:58:16Oh, my gosh.
00:58:16That performance was so much fun.
00:58:19If we keep it up, I'll have Beyonce confidence at the end of this.
00:58:23What I love is when you dance, you live.
00:58:25And you are living through that.
00:58:27Seven.
00:58:30Okay.
00:58:30Who are you dedicating this dance to?
00:58:32It's my husband, Mark.
00:58:33I am so in love with him, and I have been hoping we made it to this week.
00:58:37What was life like for you before you had met Mark?
00:58:39I've always been like a workaholic.
00:58:41We toured every single year.
00:58:42Yeah.
00:58:43I felt like I was always dating mean guys.
00:58:45When I met Mark, I felt like I could exhale and be myself.
00:58:48What happens is your self-esteem starts to like heal, and that starts to trickle into all areas of your life.
00:58:53He's so special.
00:58:54Yeah.
00:58:54And so I wrote this song.
00:58:56We were dancing to it called Parallel.
00:58:57After the night, we like really fell in love.
00:59:00We just like laid on the kitchen floor for hours and just talked.
00:59:02And I just want to recreate that.
00:59:04It'll be beautiful.
00:59:05Oh, even her?
00:59:06Yep.
00:59:07The foxtrot is soft and emotional, and then we're going to emulate their relationship and how much love he has for Mark.
00:59:14It's going to mean so much to Scott.
00:59:16Love!
00:59:17My favorite people.
00:59:21For him to dedicate this performance.
00:59:22Spin, spin.
00:59:24To a song he wrote about our love.
00:59:26I'll treasure this for the rest of my life.
00:59:28We have one more piece of news for you.
00:59:30What?
00:59:30We're having a baby.
00:59:31We're having a baby.
00:59:32Our surrogate is pregnant.
00:59:35We're going to be dead.
00:59:36We're going to be dead.
00:59:38We've dreamed of this our whole lives.
00:59:40Scott's going to be the best dad in the whole world.
00:59:42Crazy to say it loud.
00:59:43It's the first time we've really said it.
00:59:45What a perfect way to start off this chapter in our lives with this performance.
00:59:49I'm so excited to raise a family of them.
00:59:51I just feel like we're really, really lucky.
00:59:55Be soft, just walk around each other.
00:59:57Uh-huh.
00:59:57I'm so excited.
00:59:59Aw, cuties!
01:00:04Dancing the Foxtrot with his partner Riley Arnold, it's Scott Hoying.
01:00:09Outside the sky is falling Look in my eyes and tell me Why I would ever be anywhere else
01:00:25It's something that I've never felt You and I parallel
01:00:29All in breath by breath Night by night Hold me close, don't know the dance
01:00:40But we can look back Step by step
01:00:44Right in time Like my hands can't reach your mind
01:00:52Lay on the floor beside me Let's lock the door
01:00:59Oh, remind me Why I would ever be anywhere else
01:01:05Without you I'm high for myself Side by side parallel
01:01:09You and I, it's over life
01:01:24You and I, it's over life
01:01:24You and I, it's over life
01:01:26You and I, and it's why
01:01:28You and I, it's over life
01:01:29You and I, it's over life
01:01:34You and I, it's over life
01:01:35Yes!
01:01:36Yes!
01:01:39Scott and Riley with a Foxtrot and a guest appearance by his husband, Mark.
01:01:47Come on over here.
01:01:48Mark, I love you because you are the greatest, happiest person in the world.
01:01:53I love them.
01:01:54All right, Derek.
01:01:55I mean, well, first of all, congratulations!
01:01:59That's amazing!
01:02:01Okay, first, I gotta be quick, I gotta be quick.
01:02:02What a beautiful way to just dedicate this to the love of your life.
01:02:07This is beautiful.
01:02:08And my man, I have to tell you something right now.
01:02:10I saw the effort, I saw the commitment, trying to keep that frame, moving across the floor,
01:02:13doing a traditional Foxtrot.
01:02:15It was so beautiful.
01:02:16Also, I'm downloading that song right now.
01:02:18I love that song!
01:02:20That was great!
01:02:21All right, Kim!
01:02:22Yeah, what a beautiful love you two have, and yes, congratulations.
01:02:25With the Foxtrot, I can really see improvement.
01:02:27Your frame was great.
01:02:28I think I can give you one tip moving forward with your head.
01:02:31If you think about getting a ruler behind your back, and then putting your head to the ruler,
01:02:35it just crept in a little bit to Riley, and then it gets a little bit more drive action
01:02:39off your standing leg, which will get you gliding across the floor a little more.
01:02:43All right, all right.
01:02:44Bruno, listen, it really was a true love, Foxtrot, and we all felt it.
01:02:50And I could feel you being so much more at ease with it.
01:02:54You were getting on those drives much better than you did before.
01:02:58Your lines are getting better.
01:03:00They're absolutely right.
01:03:02Posture.
01:03:03Foxtrot.
01:03:03Sometimes you tend to lean forward, which you shouldn't do as the man should lead, yeah?
01:03:09But I'm telling you, you're getting there.
01:03:11Well done.
01:03:11Right.
01:03:12Carrie Ann.
01:03:14I love your love.
01:03:15You guys are just adorable together.
01:03:17It's just so beautiful.
01:03:18Okay, but I'm going to talk about the dance a little.
01:03:20It felt disjointed to me.
01:03:22There were moments where it felt like you were getting into the proper hold and the proper frame,
01:03:26and then it sort of would collapse.
01:03:27It felt...
01:03:28I want you to also watch Riley a little bit more carefully in rehearsals
01:03:32and match the lines a little bit more.
01:03:34That'll bring you together and make you feel more like a unit when you're dancing,
01:03:37even if you're side by side.
01:03:38Okay?
01:03:39Great job.
01:03:40All right.
01:03:40All right.
01:03:42Love you guys.
01:03:42Head on up to the skybox.
01:03:43All right.

01:03:56Oh, it's going to be thrill-ifying.
01:04:01Oh, my goodness.
01:04:03Scott, can we just put the dancing aside for one second and just say congratulations?
01:04:07Congratulations!
01:04:10How excited are you to be a dad?
01:04:13I'm so excited.
01:04:14I just can't wait to raise a little baby with my favorite person in the world, Mark.
01:04:17It's going to be the greatest joy of my life.
01:04:19Well, speaking of Mark being your favorite person in the world,
01:04:22I think he's all of our favorite person in the world.
01:04:25What has it been like with him coming into your life?
01:04:28Oh, man.
01:04:29Everything changed when Mark came into my life.
01:04:31He is my love, my peace, my laughter.
01:04:33He's the truest form of love I've ever encountered.

01:05:57Oh, a fantastic performance, choreographed by Brandon.
01:06:12Yeah, welcome back.
01:06:14If you haven't purchased tickets to see our pros touring live this winter,
01:06:18Emma, our beautiful co-host of the tour, has an exciting announcement.
01:06:22Yes, I do.
01:06:24We've been selling tickets so fast that we've already added more shows,
01:06:28including a second one at the iconic Radio City Music Hall.
01:06:32Free sales for the new dates start Thursday,
01:06:35so go to dwtstour.com for all the details.
01:06:37Trust me, you do not want to miss the chance to see it.
01:06:40That's right.
01:06:40I'm going, I'm going.
01:06:42All right, next up, our actress and director
01:06:44dedicates a jive to her Boy Meets World co-star.
01:06:47It's Danielle Fischel and her partner, Pasha Pascoff.
01:06:52I just love seeing your personality come through.
01:06:57You're so wonderful to watch.
01:06:59Seven.
01:06:59I'm thinking six.
01:07:00Exactly.
01:07:02We made it.
01:07:03We made it.
01:07:04Yay.
01:07:04But I think there should have been an eight.
01:07:06It's just going to make our first eight that all the more sweet.
01:07:09Who are you dedicating this dance to?
01:07:11William Daniels, better known as Mr. Feeney.
01:07:14Thanks, Mr. Feeney.
01:07:15My door is always open to my students.
01:07:17He's just somebody I have looked up to as a man, as an actor, as a professional.
01:07:23What was it like entering that set at 12 years old?
01:07:27It was intimidating.
01:07:29But Bill, who had already won two Emmys,
01:07:32treated me like I deserve all the respect in the world as a fellow actor.
01:07:36Wow.
01:07:36I don't think I would have been the professional that I am today
01:07:40without being able to have watched him all those years.
01:07:42Mr. Feeney and Topanga have a moment in the finale where we say goodbye.
01:07:47We did it one time, and all of that was real.
01:07:51I will never forget you.
01:07:53It's been over 30 years since we met, and I know how proud he is of me.
01:07:59He really means a lot to me.
01:08:01This is an emotional night, but if Danielle can keep up with the pace of the jibe
01:08:05and the intensity of it, and two, that's it.
01:08:07I think we can get our first eight.
01:08:10And there you are!
01:08:12You did it!
01:08:14Thank you so much for doing this.
01:08:16I feel honored to dedicate a dance to you.
01:08:20How proud are you of Danielle?
01:08:22I'm very proud of Danielle for all she's doing.
01:08:25It's a pleasure watching you.
01:08:28Thank you, Bill.
01:08:29I love you guys so much.
01:08:31Okay, honey.
01:08:31Bye-bye.
01:08:33Bye.
01:08:33This dance is for you, Mr. Feeney.
01:08:36Thank you for always showing up, even when the cameras stopped rolling.
01:08:40Amazing.
01:08:44Dancing the jibe.
01:08:45With her partner, Pasha Pashkov, it's Danielle Fischel.
01:08:48Running down this road, the week of life is what we're doing.
01:08:58Good to know I have friends who will always stand by me.
01:09:04When this boy meets world, the boy meets world.
01:09:11This boy meets world, the boy meets world.
01:09:16I'll beat you down at the bus stop back down to school.
01:09:22But don't be laid down.
01:09:24I never thought I would find someone who's so cool.
01:09:29You know it's, it's gotta be you.
01:09:32When this boy meets world, the boy meets world.
01:09:51When this boy meets world, the boy meets world.
01:10:02Danielle and Pasha with a jive with her co-star and friend.
01:10:13Thank you, Bill.
01:10:15We so appreciate you, Bill.
01:10:17Thanks for being here with us.
01:10:19They're loving you guys.
01:10:21So good.
01:10:22Come on.
01:10:24Yes, yes.
01:10:25Kim, take it away.
01:10:26Well, I think that made everyone's nostalgic hearts very happy.
01:10:30That was so beautiful.
01:10:31You still look like a teenager, by the way.
01:10:33Seriously, I don't know how that is possible, but you do.
01:10:36There was so much jive content in there.
01:10:37I would have liked to have seen your weight a little further over the balls of your feet.
01:10:41You are very effortless when you dance, which is lovely.
01:10:44But I feel like you could have a little bit more attack, especially in your extensions.
01:10:47One quick tip.
01:10:48Grab a pen when you're practicing by yourself.
01:10:50Put it between your fingers.
01:10:51That gives you an instant dance to hand.
01:10:53And it gets the energy right, you know, in the right place.
01:10:56So it gets right to the ends of the fingertips.
01:10:59Love that.
01:11:00Yeah, a little tip.
01:11:00I love that.
01:11:02They were both like, oh, oh, okay, Bruno.
01:11:06Oh, well, I know what you're doing.
01:11:08You're pitching Boy Meets World.
01:11:12The musical.
01:11:13Because, don't you think?
01:11:15It was such a wonderful number.
01:11:17It had all the structures, all the storylines.
01:11:20You're a great performer.
01:11:22I loved it very much.
01:11:23Yes, you have to sharpen a little bit the edges.
01:11:26You know, when you do these flicks, the retraction has to be a little bit sharper.
01:11:30But I'm telling you, I absolutely loved it.
01:11:33Okay, real quick.
01:11:34Okay, real quick.
01:11:35Carrie-Anne and Kim, lock in your scores.
01:11:38Oh, my God.
01:11:39Sorry.
01:11:39And then, Carrie-Anne, when you're ready, take it away.
01:11:42Okay.
01:11:43So much to do.
01:11:44All right.
01:11:44Okay.
01:11:45That was so nostalgic and, like, kind of what we all needed at this moment in this time.
01:11:51I love the throwback.
01:11:54Okay.
01:11:54But there's, I have to say this.
01:11:57Some of your dancers are starting to feel like I'm watching the same dance over and over again.
01:12:02And I know that sounds really critical.
01:12:03But if I don't give the comments now, she can't work on this.
01:12:07And I want you to have the best chance for success.
01:12:10So I'm bringing it up now.
01:12:11Try to give a little bit more variety as far as dynamics and a little bit.
01:12:16This is also on you, Pasha, okay?
01:12:17Together, as a team.
01:12:19All right.
01:12:19It's okay.
01:12:20You can boo me.
01:12:21I can handle it.
01:12:23Well, I have no more time left.
01:12:26But what I'll say is that it was lively, it was light, it was lovable.
01:12:32And it was a proper jive, by the way.
01:12:34That was really great.
01:12:37I love, as well, how you honored one of your mentors.
01:12:40I think it's so important to have mentors in our lives.
01:12:42You know, they make our lives go further, faster, and with more purpose.
01:12:46And so I think that's beautiful.
01:12:47Beautiful, wonderful jive.
01:12:49All right.
01:12:49All right.
01:12:49Head on up to the skybox.
01:12:51Fantastic.
01:12:51Fantastic.
01:12:52The final dance of the night is on the way.
01:12:55Alex Earl dedicates a contemporary routine to her sister, Isabel.
01:12:58They'll dance with Vows from Herkosti in just minutes.
01:13:01Julianne.
01:13:03Thanks, Alfonso.
01:13:05All right.
01:13:06Get on over here.
01:13:07The nostalgia, the wholesomeness of that dance was so fun.
01:13:12After that experience, how much fun did you just have?
01:13:17That's what we want to know.
01:13:18I'm always having so much fun.
01:13:21Sometimes, sometimes I think I have so much fun, I forget that I'm supposed to be dancing.
01:13:27So, that much fun.
01:13:28Well, you're having fun.
01:13:29You're dancing.
01:13:30Why don't we get your scores when we come back?
01:13:33Oh!
01:13:33Welcome back.
01:13:45Before the break, Danielle and Pasha performed a jive that Kim said made everyone's nostalgic heart happy.
01:13:52Let's get their scores.
01:13:54Carrie-Anne Inaba.
01:13:56Seven.
01:13:57Derek Huff.
01:13:59Seven.
01:14:00Kim Johnson.
01:14:02Seven.
01:14:02Seven.
01:14:03Bruno Tognoli.
01:14:04Great.
01:14:05Number eight.
01:14:07Great.
01:14:08Yes!
01:14:09You got your first eight.
01:14:10How do you feel?
01:14:13I'm so happy.
01:14:16All right.
01:14:16Well, that is Danielle and Pasha.
01:14:19If their dance brought back the fun of watching Boy Meets World, vote for them.
01:14:24Alfonso.
01:14:25All right.
01:14:25Thanks, Julie.
01:14:26Again.
01:14:26We've come to the final dance of the night.
01:14:28To perform it, our social media personality dedicates a contemporary routine to her sister.
01:14:33Isabel.
01:14:34It's Alex Earl and her partner, Val Shmurkovsky.
01:14:39What up, champ?
01:14:41High scores of the season.
01:14:42I know.
01:14:43I'm so excited.
01:14:44I want to keep building on that.
01:14:45It was dance as storytelling.
01:14:49And you became someone else.
01:14:51Eight.
01:14:53This week, you get to dedicate this performance to someone special in your life.
01:14:57To my little sister, Isabel.
01:14:59My parents got divorced when I was 10 years old.
01:15:01And two years later, when I found out that my dad was having a kid with someone else, I didn't want it.
01:15:07I couldn't understand it.
01:15:09It's got to be a hollowing feeling.
01:15:11I remember us sitting around the family dinner table, and my sister and I just broke into tears.
01:15:16But then my stepmom handed me Isabel, and I held her for the first time, and oh gosh, here come the tears.
01:15:24She really changed my perspective on what family means.
01:15:28So I really give Isabel so much credit for blending our family together, and she's going to kill it in the dance.
01:15:35You can do you justice.
01:15:37You will.
01:15:38I can't believe you're here doing this.
01:15:39I can't believe I'm here, and I can't believe you're here with me.
01:15:42I feel like Alex is sharing a really powerful story.
01:15:44Like a little baby.
01:15:45Yeah, so our approach to our contemporary this week is going to be to invest her soul and heart into every fiber of this choreography.
01:15:54This is a moment of like you looking up to your big sister.
01:15:57Okay.
01:15:57I feel honored to be in Alex and Bella's dance because Alex is the coolest big sister that I could ever have.
01:16:04The closer you are to her body, the easier for her to live.
01:16:08When we dance together, I feel the spark that brought our family back to life.
01:16:12Yeah.
01:16:12Beautiful.
01:16:13Tonight we get to show that on the dance floor.
01:16:15Val has the chills.
01:16:16Oh.
01:16:20Dancing Contemporary with her partner Val Jmerkovsky, it's Alex Earl.
01:16:25But I promise you this, I'll always look out for you.
01:16:46That's what I do.
01:16:52But I promise you this, I won't see you.
01:16:55You say, oh.
01:16:58Oh, cry on
01:17:11I saw the spot
01:17:18Yeah, I saw the spot
01:17:23Sangin' out
01:17:27La la la la, oh
01:17:31La la la la, oh
01:17:36Alex and Val joined by her sister Isabel
01:17:48That was the final dance of the night
01:17:51Voting will be closing soon
01:17:53Yes, they're loving you
01:17:57Isabel, how much fun was it to be able to dance with your big sister?
01:18:03Anything I do with Alex is always just, like, the best time ever,
01:18:06and I'm so happy I got to do this with her.
01:18:10Beautiful.
01:18:11All right, Bruno, take it away.
01:18:12My love, talent and love really runs in the family.
01:18:16And I'm telling you, this, I, honestly, this routine was so difficult.
01:18:21Technically, you made it look so easy.
01:18:24You made it look natural.
01:18:27You really, you were dancing from within with no effort at all.
01:18:33That is the hardest thing to do.
01:18:35You did it.
01:18:36All right, Carrie-Anne.
01:18:38Alex, thank you for sharing this story.
01:18:40And I can tell you are just like that healing child that comes into the family.
01:18:44I can feel it.
01:18:45It's, you're radiant.
01:18:47It was really beautiful to watch you guys dance together.
01:18:49Okay, Alex, watch, there's a tiny correction.
01:18:52Watch your arms when you turn.
01:18:54And sometimes they just hit a strange shape just on the turns.
01:18:57It's a tiny note, but it's amazing.
01:18:59It was really heartfelt, wonderful.
01:19:00All right, Derek.
01:19:02Alex, you're, you have such a maturity to your movement.
01:19:07There's a part in the routine where you like contracted your body.
01:19:09And I was like, wow, it just drew me into the routine.
01:19:12Really, really impressive.
01:19:13Val, the choreography was sensational, my man.
01:19:15Beautiful.
01:19:16You know, there's a lot of like, for tonight, there's been a lot of negativity, a lot of
01:19:23weird energy and stuff.
01:19:25But what I hope tonight we can all come from this is that it is about love.
01:19:28It is about love.
01:19:29And you represented that tonight.
01:19:30So thank you.
01:19:32We all love love.
01:19:33Tim.
01:19:34Alex, I think you had a different kind of freedom about this routine.
01:19:37And I know it was contemporary, but I think there was a different purpose because you
01:19:41were dancing with your sister.
01:19:42So I take that new inner self-confidence that I think I saw to your future dancers, because
01:19:47you, I think, are the surprise of this season.
01:19:51Beautiful.
01:19:52Head on up to the Skybox show.
01:19:55And let's take a moment to thank the folks who have been playing hard all night long.

01:20:20Alex, by the way, that is so much choreography for you, but also for a 12-year-old.
01:20:25How impressed are you with Isabel?
01:20:27I'm so impressed with her.
01:20:28I mean, she brought such like a light to the studio this week, and it was so much fun.
01:20:33And it's just, you know, it's like such a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
