00:07:43How long have you been dancing?
00:07:45I've been dancing for one year
00:07:48One year, one year, but how long have you been the most beautiful girl in the world?

00:07:53That's right, that's right, that's right
00:07:56Kim, you're up first
00:07:57That was the most joyful way to start this night, it really was
00:08:01And Cornelia, Cornelia, you were such a great dancer, isn't daddy so good?
00:08:07Yeah, you know what, I get so excited to see what you're going to do every single week
00:08:13Thank you
00:08:14And I can relate to you and Emma because way, way back in season three I danced with Jerry Springer
00:08:18We had the bottom scores every week but we kept getting through
00:08:21Couldn't get rid of you, couldn't we?
00:08:24No, you couldn't, but you connect with people and America loves you, Emma keep giving us this magic
00:08:29Alright, alright, Bruno, I love it with you, with him is always, it's show time folks, let's have a good time
00:08:37Sweetness, light, all things bright, and you naughty girl, I love it, I love it
00:08:41We had our little baby spies here
00:08:44Are you a, I love naughty girls, listen, plenty of steps, not always on time, but always entertaining
00:08:54Done
00:08:54Alright, Carrie Ann
00:08:55Okay, I saw improvement tonight, when you started at Sasa, there was something going on, like that magic
00:09:05You're starting to feel really comfortable in the moves, which I love, adding Cornelia is a bonus, obviously
00:09:09But, but, to offset the improvement I saw, you were off in the musicality in the beginning
00:09:16And I'm so sorry, but you still brought all of the joy to this room
00:09:19Lots of joy, Derek
00:09:21How are we supposed to talk about anything except for how precious this little one is, honestly, this is ridiculous
00:09:28Um, listen, that was positively playful, pure, and full of love, well done, Andy
00:09:33Alright, alright, head on up to the skybox, great job
00:09:36With us in the ballroom tonight is season 21 champion, Vindy Irwin

00:10:56Dedication night is just getting started
00:10:59Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson perform a routine dedicated to his mom, Terry
00:11:04Next, five
00:11:05Welcome back to dedication night
00:11:18Next up, our wildlife conservationist performs a tribute to a family member who is no stranger to this ballroom
00:11:24It's Robert Irwin and Whitney Carson
00:11:27Last week, we haven't dipped, but we just had this plateau
00:11:33You just have that Irwin aura
00:11:38Seven
00:11:39Eight
00:11:39Okay
00:11:40I gotta step it up a notch
00:11:42So, it's dedication night
00:11:44I want to dedicate this dance to my mom
00:11:47She's an absolute hero to me
00:11:49Because I was two when I lost dad
00:11:51And as I got older
00:11:53I started to realise just how hard it would have been for her
00:11:56To be there for us
00:11:58And all the while
00:11:59Continue dad's legacy that her and dad built together
00:12:03It's incredible
00:12:03I've never really been able to capture what it
00:12:06Like
00:12:07I've never been able to capture the feeling of gratitude
00:12:18That I feel for her
00:12:22And at every milestone when I just wished
00:12:26When I just wished that my dad was there
00:12:30She was
00:12:32She was there
00:12:33And that was enough
00:12:35I struggle a lot with losing dad
00:12:38A lot
00:12:39And she always made sure
00:12:42My dad was present
00:12:43In our lives
00:12:45I wanted to know how proud my dad would be of her
00:12:48Her strength and your strength is so inspiring
00:12:53Governor
00:12:54I tried to hang on
00:12:57In this contemporary
00:13:03We're really trying to tell Robert's story
00:13:06And help people along that grief journey
00:13:09Welcome
00:13:09So excited
00:13:10So good to see you guys
00:13:13I'm here to cry
00:13:14Oh no, no
00:13:15There's been a lot of that going around
00:13:17After we lost Steve
00:13:18It was difficult to smile again
00:13:21For quite a while
00:13:22So for him to say
00:13:24You lifted me up
00:13:25Honestly, it was the opposite
00:13:27Because of them
00:13:29I could get up every morning
00:13:31So every day
00:13:32I'm a proud mama
00:13:33Looking at each other
00:13:35Will you look at me?
00:13:36This is
00:13:36A moment with my mum
00:13:38That I will cherish forever
00:13:40And I know my dad would be so proud
00:13:42Yes, that's so cute
00:13:44That's perfect
00:13:45Adored
00:13:46Dancing Contemporary
00:13:50With his partner Whitney Carson
00:13:52It's Robert Irwin
00:13:54Come stop your crying
00:14:03It will be alright
00:14:05Just take my hand
00:14:09Hold it tight
00:14:11I will protect you
00:14:14From all around you
00:14:17I will be here
00:14:19Don't you cry
00:14:21Cause you'll be in my heart
00:14:26Yes, you'll be in my heart
00:14:31From this day on
00:14:34Now and forevermore
00:14:39When destiny calls you

00:15:52And soul

00:27:42Was incredible
00:27:44Hey
00:27:45Nice
00:27:46So why don't you tell me a little bit about
00:27:49Who you've chosen to dedicate this to?
00:27:52Connor and I have been married for almost ten years now
00:27:55We dated for four months and then got married
00:27:58Oh my god
00:27:59There's a specific time in our relationship where we were the most distant
00:28:04Being able to get out of that made our relationship even stronger
00:28:08Stronger
00:28:09Yeah
00:28:10Connor's given up a lot for me to pursue these dreams
00:28:14He's quit his job
00:28:15Moved here to L.A.
00:28:16Hard, hit hard
00:28:17He's getting up with the kids
00:28:19And I don't feel like everybody gets that
00:28:21And now I get to share that dream with him
00:28:24Yeah, that's my best friend
00:28:26And you both are for each other
00:28:27Hey baby
00:28:29Excited to dance with you

00:28:40I can't even express in words what it means that you want to involve me in this dance
00:28:44The story in this dance is that they're playing themselves
00:28:46And I'm gonna be playing the thing that's trying to keep them apart
00:28:52Whitney
00:28:53Is my life, she's my home
00:28:54And
00:28:55To know she's dedicating this song and dance to me
00:28:57It makes me feel like she looks back on those trying times and says I made the right decision to stay
00:29:04Pretty
00:29:05Almost

00:31:25Dancing is so healing and that was so beautiful to watch you share that moment with your husband
00:31:31So beautiful and so impressive. Wow Connor. You're a dancer
00:31:37No, the storytelling the choreography the musicality one thing
00:31:43I will just say the little note I have is lots a little bit of you're out of sync on the side
00:31:47By side a little bit, but that happens with the complicated and challenging routine
00:31:51But well done both of you
00:31:55Derek
00:31:57You had corner dancing like that was incredible Whitney. I have loved you every week
00:32:02You are so special you own this floor when you actually walk onto the floor wearing Whitney's world and I love it

00:32:12You know the twist turns the ups the down the drama it was it was like white lotus
00:32:19You know with a happy ending
00:32:22Very very ambitious routine wonderful. There is only a slide you know
00:32:27Which is very unusual for you a tiny tiny mistake?
00:32:31But you should be proud of me because you're pushing the boundaries great. Okay
00:32:39When you dance just dance it's like you bring me to a place of emotions
00:32:45That's just it's it's hard to put to words and it's why some of us became dancers is for this
00:32:51It's a way to cope with the emotions
00:32:53It's a way to turn the difficult moments into something beautiful watching this choreography mark brilliant choreography connor brilliant performance way to show up for your wife

00:35:43when she was 26 and there are many times that she was working and being a mom at the same time
00:35:51and so to me my mom is just she's a warrior like she is a warrior i didn't realize how much she did
00:36:00for me until i became a mom myself i'm so grateful to know that i have her right next to me because
00:36:06she knows what it's like because of like her sacrifice i have everything that i have now and

00:51:19Yes.
00:51:20It's dedication night.
00:51:21Do you know who you're dedicating it to?
00:51:23My dad.
00:51:24He is my truest heart.
00:51:26I had really bad ADHD when I was younger.
00:51:28And I'm just bouncing off walls.
00:51:30And so my dad, he called my mom and was like,
00:51:32we got to do something.
00:51:33My dad decided to put me in gymnastics
00:51:35because he felt like that would be an outlet for me.
00:51:38He helped start my career of gymnastics.
00:51:40So I have a man that I can look up to.
00:51:44Do you know how healing that is like, sorry.
00:51:46It's healing because I don't have a relationship with my own.
00:51:52I appreciate you allowing my dad to kind of be a father to you
00:51:57because that's just how my dad is.
00:51:59And they will be able to see that within the dance.
00:52:02It's been a long time no see, my guy.
00:52:07I know.
00:52:07How you doing?
00:52:08We're so excited that you are here this week.
00:52:11She's my baby.
00:52:12I just want you guys to be successful.
00:52:14Left arm is going to go up like this.
00:52:15We are dancing to Daughters by John Mayer.
00:52:18Okay, rock the boat.
00:52:19So Jordan's Viennese Waltz,
00:52:20it's all about telling the story of Jordan and her father.
00:52:23I don't want to drop my baby.
00:52:24You're not going to drop me.
00:52:26I'm so proud.
00:52:27Sometimes I sit back and I say, that's my kid.
00:52:29Like, that is my kid.
00:52:31After this dance, I hope dads call their daughters
00:52:34and young ladies call their dads.
00:52:36I didn't tell Ezra he's been accepted by you, if that's okay.
00:52:40Aw.
00:52:41Dad, you are my superhero every single day.
00:52:44You're family now.
00:52:46And we get to dance together.
00:52:48I love you.
00:52:51Dancing the Viennese Waltz
00:52:53with her partner Ezra Sosa,
00:52:55it's Jordan Childs.
00:52:57I know a girl
00:53:06She puts the color
00:53:09Inside of my world
00:53:12But she's
00:53:15Just like a maze
00:53:17Where all of the walls
00:53:20I'll continually change
00:53:23And I've done all I can
00:53:27To stand on the steps
00:53:30With my heart in my hands
00:53:33And now
00:53:35I'm starting to see
00:53:38Maybe it's got nothing
00:53:41To do with me
00:53:43Fathers be good to your daughters
00:53:47Fathers be good to your daughters
00:53:49Daughters will love like you do
00:53:53Girls become lovers
00:53:58Who turned into mothers
00:54:00So mothers be good to your daughters
00:54:04So mothers be good to your daughters
00:54:08So mothers be good to your daughters
00:54:10So mothers be good to your daughters
00:54:11Yes
00:54:12Yes, Jordan and Ezra with a lovely Viennese Waltz featuring her dad, Timothy.
00:54:23Yes.
00:54:25Timothy, how important is it to you to be a great dad for Jordan?
00:54:31Uh, it's one of the most important things in my life.
00:54:34Absolutely. We love great fathers.
00:54:37Carrie Ann.
00:54:40The reverence that I just witnessed was profound.
00:54:44The respect and love that you showed for your daughter in that dance
00:54:47by showing up and actually pretty much doing the whole dance.
00:54:50Pretty incredible.
00:54:51And, I'm sorry, we're not judging you, sir, Timothy,
00:54:55but I just have to point it out because it was really touching and profound.
00:54:59And Ezra, kudos to you for that.
00:55:01Jordan, you are blossoming into something spectacular.
00:55:07I got it.
00:55:09Derek.
00:55:10Well, watching you two dance really made me excited to have that own, my own moment with my, my own child.
00:55:19Um, it's so beautiful. You certainly, it was, it was, there was a tenderness, it was simple, it was, there was a care to it.
00:55:28It was just a really beautiful dance and I hope you both cherish that moment. Well done.
00:55:31Kim.
00:55:32Well, it doesn't get much better than a father-daughter dance.
00:55:35And Ezra, you really took a risk on having them dance together solo for quite a long time, but it paid off.
00:55:41You, you were actually leading your dad and you were dancing beautifully.
00:55:44So much breath in your movement.
00:55:46And your extension.
00:55:48I think you are a beautiful dancer and you have, you have the determination to go all the way to the end.
00:55:55You really do.
00:55:56Bruno.
00:55:57Elegance, style and poise, sir.
00:56:02You've got it.
00:56:03And your daughter.
00:56:04I'm so proud of her because what she's done from the beginning during this competition has been brilliant.
00:56:10She gets better and better and better.
00:56:12Your musicality improves every week.
00:56:16Keep going, my love.
00:56:17Keep going.
00:56:18Timothy, is there anything you want to say to Jordan right now?
00:56:23I love you and let's get to the top.
00:56:28All right.
00:56:29Let's get to the top.
00:56:30Top of those stairs in the skybox, y'all.

00:56:42And currently at the bottom are Andy and Emma with 24.
00:56:46Julianne.
00:56:47Thanks, Alfonso.
00:56:48As 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.
00:56:58Okay.
00:56:59Come on over here.
00:57:00Hi, gorgeous.
00:57:01Hello.
00:57:02All right.
00:57:03If your dad had never put you in gymnastics in the first place, what do you think your life would be like today?
00:57:11Oh, honestly, I couldn't tell you.
00:57:14I don't think I would be this humble girl who has the opportunity to have a dance on the biggest show of her career.
00:57:23And to understand that every little girl should enjoy their moments with their fathers.
00:57:30Let's get your scores.

00:58:00Scott Hoeing and Riley Arnold are up next, live.
00:58:04Welcome back.
00:58:15Dedication Night continues with the star who last week was praised for his growing confidence and showmanship.
00:58:22Tonight, he dedicates a Foxtrot to his biggest supporter, his husband, Mark.
00:58:27From Pentatonix, it's Grammy winner Scott Hoeing and his partner, Riley Arnold.
00:58:34Oh my gosh, that performance was so much fun.
00:58:38If we keep it up, I'll have Beyonce confidence at the end of this.
00:58:41What I love is when you dance, you live.
00:58:44And you are living through that.
00:58:46Seven.
00:58:47Eight.
00:58:48Okay, who are you dedicating this dance to?
00:58:51To my husband, Mark.
00:58:52I am so in love with him and I have been hoping we made it to this week.
00:58:56What was life like for you before you had met Mark?
00:58:58I've always been like a workaholic.
00:59:00We toured every single year.
00:59:01Yeah.
00:59:02I felt like I was always dating mean guys.
00:59:04When I met Mark, I felt like I could exhale and be myself.
00:59:07What happens is your self-esteem starts to like heal and that starts to trickle into all areas of your life.
00:59:12He's so special.
00:59:13Yeah.
00:59:14And so I wrote this song.
00:59:15We were dancing to it called Parallel.
00:59:16After the night, we like really fell in love.
00:59:18We just like laid on the kitchen floor for hours and just talked and I just want to recreate that.
00:59:23It'll be beautiful.
00:59:24It sounds really good.
00:59:25Lift that up.
00:59:26Oh, even her?
00:59:27Yep.
00:59:28The Foxtrot is soft and emotional and then we're going to emulate their relationship and how much love he has for Mark.
00:59:33It's going to mean so much to Scott.
00:59:35Love!
00:59:36Hey!
00:59:37My favorite people.
00:59:38Oh!
00:59:39For him to dedicate this performance.
00:59:41Spin, spin.
00:59:42Spin.
00:59:43To a song he wrote about our love.
00:59:45I'll treasure this for the rest of my life.
00:59:47We have one more piece of news for you.
00:59:48What?

00:59:50We're having a baby.
00:59:53Our surrogate is pregnant.
00:59:54We're going to be dead.
00:59:55We're going to be dead.
00:59:57We've dreamed of this our whole lives.
00:59:59Scott's going to be the best dad in the whole world.
01:00:01Crazy to say it loud.
01:00:02It's the first time we've really said it.
01:00:04What a perfect way to start off this chapter in our lives with this performance.
01:00:08I'm so excited to raise a family of him.
01:00:10I just feel like we're really, really lucky.
01:00:14Be soft.
01:00:15Just walk around each other.

01:00:30Outside the sky is falling.
01:00:35Look in my eyes and tell me

01:00:44It's something that I've never felt
01:00:46You and I
01:00:48Parallel
01:00:53I'm breath by breath
01:00:55Line by line
01:00:56Hold me close to all the dance
01:00:58But we can look back
01:00:59Step by step
01:01:00Right in time
01:01:01Like my hands can't reach your mind
01:01:05Lay on the floor beside me
01:01:07Let's lock the door remind me
01:01:09Why
01:01:10I would ever be anywhere else
01:01:11Without you I'm high for myself
01:01:12Side by side
01:01:13Parallel
01:01:14You and I
01:01:15So alive
01:01:16You and I
01:01:28You and I
01:01:29So alive
01:01:30You and I
01:01:43So alive
01:01:44You and I
01:01:45You and I
01:01:46So alive
01:01:47You and I
01:01:48So alive
01:01:49Yes
01:01:54Scott and Riley
01:01:59With a Foxtrot and a guest appearance by his husband Mark
01:02:04Come on over here
01:02:06Mark, I love you because you are the greatest happiest person in the world
01:02:11I love them
01:02:13All right
01:02:14Derek
01:02:15I mean well first of all
01:02:16Congratulations
01:02:20That's amazing
01:02:21Okay first I gotta be quick
01:02:22I gotta be quick
01:02:23What a beautiful way to
01:02:24To just have
01:02:25Dedicate this to the love of your life
01:02:26This is beautiful
01:02:27And my man
01:02:28I have to tell you something right now
01:02:29I saw the effort
01:02:30I saw the commitment
01:02:31Trying to keep that frame
01:02:32Moving across the floor
01:02:33Doing a traditional Foxtrot
01:02:34It was so beautiful
01:02:35Also I'm downloading that song right now
01:02:37I love that song
01:02:38That was great
01:02:40All right Kim
01:02:41Yeah what a beautiful love you two have
01:02:43And yes congratulations
01:02:44With the Foxtrot
01:02:45I can really see improvement
01:02:46Your frame was great
01:02:47I think
01:02:48I can give you one tip moving forward with your head
01:02:50If you think about getting a ruler behind your back
01:02:52And then putting your head to the ruler
01:02:54It just crept in a little bit to Riley
01:02:56And then it gets a little bit more drive action
01:02:58Off your standing leg
01:03:00Which will get you gliding across the floor a little more
01:03:02All right, all right Bruno
01:03:03Listen
01:03:04It really was a true love Foxtrot
01:03:07And we all felt it
01:03:09And I could feel you being so much more at ease with it
01:03:13You were getting on those drives much better
01:03:16Than you did before
01:03:17Your lines are getting better
01:03:19They're absolutely right
01:03:20Posture
01:03:21Posture
01:03:22Sometimes you tend to lean forward
01:03:24Which you shouldn't do
01:03:25As the man should lead
01:03:27Yeah
01:03:28But I'm telling you
01:03:29You're getting there
01:03:30Well done
01:03:31Marianne
01:03:32I love your love
01:03:34You guys are just adorable together
01:03:36Just so beautiful
01:03:37Okay, but I'm going to talk about the dance a little
01:03:39It felt disjointed to me
01:03:41There were moments where it felt like you were getting into the proper hold and proper frame
01:03:45And then it sort of would collapse
01:03:46It felt
01:03:47I want you to also watch Riley a little bit more carefully in rehearsals
01:03:51And match the lines a little bit more
01:03:53That'll bring you together
01:03:54And make you feel more like a unit when you're dancing
01:03:56Even if you're side by side
01:03:57Okay?
01:03:58Thank you
01:03:59Great job
01:04:00All right
01:04:01Love you guys

01:05:53The path won't change when I break down
01:05:55The people are dark and say that
01:05:59Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
01:06:00I get hit
01:06:01Go
01:06:03Back on
01:06:04Sign for you
01:06:06Pучcle
01:06:08Call this case my home
01:06:10Never gonna cry anymore
01:06:13Oh, a fantastic performance, choreographed by Brandon.
01:06:32Yeah, welcome back.
01:06:34If you haven't purchased tickets to see our pros touring live this winter,
01:06:38Emma, our beautiful co-host of the tour, has an exciting announcement.
01:06:42Yes, I do.
01:06:43We've been selling tickets so fast that we've already added more shows,
01:06:48including a second one at the iconic Radio City Music Hall.
01:06:52Free sales for the new dates start Thursday,
01:06:54so go to dwtstour.com for all the details.
01:06:57Trust me, you do not want to miss the chance to see it.
01:06:59That's right. I'm going, I'm going.
01:07:01All right, next up, our actress and director
01:07:04dedicates a jive to her Boy Meets World co-star.
01:07:07It's Danielle Fischel and her partner, Pasha Pashkov.
01:07:11I just love seeing your personality come through.
01:07:17You're so wonderful to watch.
01:07:18Seven.
01:07:20We made it.
01:07:23We made it.
01:07:23Yay.
01:07:24But I think there should have been an eight.
01:07:26It's just going to make our first eight that all the more sweet.
01:07:29Who are you dedicating this dance to?
01:07:30William Daniels, better known as Mr. Feeney.
01:07:33Thanks, Mr. Feeney.
01:07:35My door is always open to my students.
01:07:37He's just somebody I have looked up to as a man, as an actor, as a professional.
01:07:43What was it like entering that set at 12 years old?
01:07:47It was intimidating.
01:07:49But Bill, who had already won two Emmys,
01:07:51treated me like I deserve all the respect in the world as a fellow actor.
01:07:56Wow.
01:07:56I don't think I would have been the professional that I am today
01:08:00without being able to have watched him all those years.
01:08:02Mr. Feeney and Topanga have a moment in the finale where we say goodbye.
01:08:07We did it one time, and all of that was real.
01:08:11I will never forget you.
01:08:13It's been over 30 years since we met, and I know how proud he is of me.
01:08:18He really means a lot to me.
01:08:19This is an emotional night, but if Danielle can keep up with the pace of the jibe
01:08:24and the intensity of it, and two, that's it.
01:08:27I think we can get our first eight.
01:08:30And there you are!
01:08:32You did it!
01:08:34Thank you so much for doing this.
01:08:36I feel honored to dedicate a dance to you.
01:08:40How proud are you of Danielle?
01:08:41I'm very proud of Danielle for all she's doing.
01:08:45It's a pleasure watching you.
01:08:47Thank you, Bill. I love you guys so much.
01:08:50Okay, honey. Bye-bye.
01:08:52Bye.
01:08:53This dance is for you, Mr. Feeney.
01:08:56Thank you for always showing up, even when the cameras stopped rolling.
01:09:00Amazing.
01:09:03Dancing the jibe.
01:09:05With her partner, Pasha Pashkov, it's Danielle Fischel.
01:09:08Running down this road that we call life, it's what we're doing.
01:09:18Good to know I have friends who will always stand by me.
01:09:24When this boy meets world, boy meets world.
01:09:30This boy meets world, boy meets world.
01:09:36I'm reaching down at the bus stop, back down to school.
01:09:42Don't be laid down.
01:09:44I never thought I would find someone who's so cool.
01:09:49You know it.
01:09:50It's gotta be you.
01:09:53When this boy meets world, boy meets world.
01:09:58When this boy meets world, boy meets world.
01:10:03When this boy meets world, boy meets world.
01:10:10When this boy meets world, boy meets world.
01:10:16Danielle and Pasha with a jive
01:10:29With her co-star and friend
01:10:32Thank you, Bill
01:10:34We so appreciate you, Bill
01:10:37Thanks for being here with us
01:10:38They're loving you guys
01:10:40So good
01:10:41Come on
01:10:42Yes, yes
01:10:44Kim, take it away
01:10:46Well, I think that made everyone's nostalgic hearts very happy
01:10:49That was so beautiful
01:10:50You still look like a teenager, by the way
01:10:52Seriously, I don't know how that is possible, but you do
01:10:55There was so much jive content in there
01:10:57I would have liked to have seen your weight a little further over the balls of your feet
01:11:00You are very effortless when you dance, which is lovely
01:11:03But I feel like you could have a little bit more attack, especially in your extensions
01:11:06One quick tip
01:11:07Grab a pen when you're practicing by yourself
01:11:10Put it between your fingers
01:11:11That gives you an instant dance to hand
01:11:12And it gets the energy right, you know, in the right place
01:11:16So it gets them right to the ends of the fingertips
01:11:19So, yeah, a little tip
01:11:20Thank you
01:11:21I love that
01:11:21They were both like
01:11:22Oh, oh, okay
01:11:25Bruno
01:11:25Oh, well, I know what you're doing
01:11:27You're pitching
01:11:29Boy Meets World
01:11:31The musical
01:11:32Because
01:11:33Don't you think
01:11:35It was such a wonderful number
01:11:37It had all the structures
01:11:38All the storylines
01:11:40You're a great performer
01:11:41I loved it very much
01:11:43Yes, you have to sharpen a little bit the edges
01:11:45You know, when you do these flicks
01:11:47The retraction has to be a little bit sharper
01:11:50But I'm telling you
01:11:51I absolutely loved it
01:11:53Okay, real quick
01:11:55Carrie-Anne and Kim
01:11:56Lock in your scores
01:11:57Oh, my gosh
01:11:58Sorry
01:11:59And then Carrie-Anne, when you're ready, take it away
01:12:01Okay
01:12:02So much to do
01:12:03All right
01:12:04Okay
01:12:04Um
01:12:05That was so nostalgic
01:12:07And, like, kind of what we all needed at this moment
01:12:10In this time
01:12:10I love the throwback
01:12:12Okay
01:12:14But there's
01:12:15I have to say this
01:12:16Some of your dances are starting to feel like
01:12:19I'm watching the same dance over and over again
01:12:21And I know that sounds really critical
01:12:23But if I don't give the comments now
01:12:25She can't work on this
01:12:27And I want you to have the best chance for success
01:12:30So I'm bringing it up now
01:12:31Try to give a little bit more variety
01:12:33As far as dynamics
01:12:34And a little bit
01:12:35This is also on you, Pasha, okay?
01:12:37Together, as a team
01:12:38Thank you
01:12:39All right
01:12:39It's okay
01:12:40You can boo me
01:12:41I can handle it
01:12:43Well, I have no more time left
01:12:46But what I'll say
01:12:48Is that it was lively
01:12:50It was light
01:12:50It was lovable
01:12:51And it was a proper jive, by the way
01:12:53That was really great
01:12:54I love as well
01:12:57How you honored
01:12:58One of your mentors
01:12:59I think it's so important
01:13:00To have mentors in our lives
01:13:01You know
01:13:02They make our lives go further
01:13:03Faster
01:13:03And with more purpose
01:13:05And so I think that's beautiful
01:13:06Beautiful
01:13:07Wonderful jive
01:13:07All right
01:13:09All right
01:13:09Head on up to the skybox
01:13:10Fantastic
01:13:11Fantastic
01:13:11The final dance of the night

01:13:26Get on over here
01:13:27The nostalgia
01:13:28The wholesomeness of that dance
01:13:29Was so fun
01:13:30After that experience
01:13:33How much fun did you just have?
01:13:37That's what we want to know
01:13:38I'm always having so much fun
01:13:40Sometimes
01:13:41Sometimes I think I have so much fun
01:13:44I forget that I'm supposed to be dancing
01:13:46So that much fun
01:13:48Well, you're having fun
01:13:49You're dancing
01:13:50Why don't we get your scores?

01:14:05Danielle and Pasha
01:14:06Performed a jive
01:14:07That Kim said
01:14:08Made everyone's nostalgic heart happy
01:14:11Let's get their scores
01:14:12Alright, well that is Danielle and Pasha
01:14:38If their dance brought back the fun
01:14:41Of watching Boy Meets World
01:14:42Vote for them
01:14:44Alfonso
01:14:44Alright, thanks Julie again
01:14:46We've come to the final dance of the night
01:14:48To perform it
01:14:49Our social media personality
01:14:50Dedicates a contemporary routine
01:14:52To her sister, Isabel
01:14:54It's Alex Earle
01:14:55And her partner, Valjomerkoski
01:14:56What up champ
01:15:00High scores of the season
01:15:02I know, I'm so excited
01:15:03I want to keep building on that
01:15:05It was dance as storytelling
01:15:08And you became someone else
01:15:10This week
01:15:13You get to dedicate this performance
01:15:15To someone special in your life
01:15:17To my little sister, Isabel
01:15:18My parents got divorced
01:15:20When I was 10 years old
01:15:21And two years later
01:15:22When I found out that
01:15:24My dad was having a kid
01:15:25With someone else
01:15:26I didn't want it
01:15:27I couldn't understand it
01:15:28It's gotta be a hollowing feeling
01:15:30I remember us sitting around
01:15:32The family dinner table
01:15:33And my sister and I
01:15:35Just broke into tears
01:15:36But then my stepmom handed me
01:15:38Isabel and I held her
01:15:39For the first time
01:15:40And oh gosh
01:15:41Here come the tears
01:15:42She really changed my perspective
01:15:46On what family means
01:15:48So I really give Isabel so much credit
01:15:50For blending our family together
01:15:52And she's gonna kill it in the dance
01:15:55You can do you justice
01:15:56You will
01:15:57I can't believe you're here doing this
01:15:59I can't believe I'm here
01:16:00And I can't believe you're here with me
01:16:01I feel like Alex is sharing
01:16:03A really powerful story
01:16:04Like a little baby
01:16:05Yeah
01:16:05So our approach to our contemporary
01:16:07This week is going to be
01:16:08To invest her soul and heart
01:16:11Into every fiber of this choreography
01:16:14This is a moment of like
01:16:15You looking up to your big sister
01:16:16Okay
01:16:17I feel honored to be
01:16:18In Alex and Val's dance
01:16:19Because Alex is the
01:16:21Coolest big sister
01:16:22That I could ever have
01:16:23The closer you are to her body
01:16:25Yeah
01:16:25The easier for her to live
01:16:26Yeah
01:16:27When we dance together
01:16:28I feel the spark
01:16:29That brought our family
01:16:30Back to life
01:16:31Yes
01:16:31Beautiful
01:16:32Tonight we get to show that
01:16:34On the dance floor
01:16:34Val has the chills
01:16:36Oh
01:16:36Dancing contemporary
01:16:41With her partner
01:16:42Val Jmerkovsky
01:16:43It's Alex Earl
01:16:44But I promise you this
01:16:59I'll always look out for you
01:17:06That's what I do
01:17:12To say
01:17:16Oh
01:17:16Cry
01:17:26Oh
01:17:26I saw a spark

01:18:13Yes
01:18:15They're loving you
01:18:16Isabel
01:18:18How much fun was it
01:18:20To be able to dance
01:18:21With your big sister
01:18:22Anything I do with Alex
01:18:24Is always just like
01:18:25The best time ever
01:18:25And I'm so happy
01:18:26I got to do this with her
01:18:27Thank you
01:18:28Beautiful
01:18:30Alright Bruno
01:18:31Take it away
01:18:31My love
01:18:32Talent and love
01:18:34Really runs in the family
01:18:36And I'm telling you
01:18:37This I
01:18:38Honestly
01:18:39This routine was so difficult
01:18:41Technically
01:18:42You made it look so easy
01:18:44You made it look natural
01:18:46You really
01:18:47You were dancing from within
01:18:50With no effort at all
01:18:52That is the hardest thing to do
01:18:54You did it
01:18:55Alright
01:18:56Carrie Ann
01:18:57Alex thank you for sharing this story
01:19:00And I can tell
01:19:01You are just like that healing child
01:19:03That comes into the family
01:19:04I can feel it
01:19:05You're radiant
01:19:06It was really beautiful
01:19:07To watch you guys dance together
01:19:08Okay Alex
01:19:10Watch
01:19:11There's a tiny correction
01:19:12Watch your arms
01:19:13When you turn
01:19:13Sometimes they just hit
01:19:14A strange shape
01:19:15Just on the turns
01:19:16It's a tiny note
01:19:17But it's amazing
01:19:18That was really
01:19:19Heartfelt wonderful
01:19:20Thank you
01:19:20Alright Derek
01:19:22Alex
01:19:23You have such a maturity
01:19:25To your movement
01:19:26There was a part
01:19:27In the routine
01:19:27Where you like
01:19:28Contracted your body
01:19:29And I was like
01:19:29Wow
01:19:29It just drew me
01:19:30Into the routine
01:19:31Really really impressive
01:19:33Val
01:19:33Choreography was sensational
01:19:34My man
01:19:35Beautiful
01:19:35You know what
01:19:39There's a lot of like
01:19:40For tonight
01:19:41There's been a lot of negativity
01:19:42A lot of weird energy
01:19:44And stuff
01:19:44But what I hope tonight
01:19:45We can all come from this
01:19:46Is that it is about love
01:19:47It is about love
01:19:48And you represented that tonight
01:19:50So thank you
01:19:51Thank you
01:19:52We all love love
01:19:53Tim
01:19:53Alex I think you had
01:19:55A different kind of freedom
01:19:56About this routine
01:19:57And I know it was contemporary
01:19:58But I think there was
01:19:59A different purpose
01:20:00Because you were dancing
01:20:01With your sister
01:20:01So I take that
01:20:03New inner self confidence
01:20:04That I think I saw
01:20:05To your future dances
01:20:07Because you
01:20:07I think are the surprise
01:20:08Of this season
01:20:09Beautiful
01:20:11Head on up to the skybox
01:20:13Y'all
