00:00:00Every time you get on me, I want to be your way to shine.
00:00:06I can't deny the thing that you're giving me.
00:00:10You lit the spark and set the fire.
00:00:14Don't run away from your love, love, love.

00:01:50There's no glass in the sound

00:01:55You're the lights on

00:02:07You're the lights on

00:02:47That incredible opening number was choreographed by the one and only Ray Leeper.
00:02:52Yeah, yeah.
00:02:52And it's great to have all of you at home joining us in the ballroom.
00:02:58And wonderful to see our judges.
00:03:02Well, two of them.
00:03:05Carrie Ann is under the weather and hopes to be back with us next week.
00:03:09Get well soon, Carrie Ann.
00:03:10We love you.
00:03:11Yes, we do.

00:04:34Among them are stars of sports, song, reality, social media,
00:04:46and, of course, Hollywood.
00:04:50Plus, plus a new pro we'll meet in just a little bit.
00:04:55That's right.
00:04:55Well, we have assembled an amazing group to help commemorate our landmark 20th year on the air.
00:05:03Oh, yeah.
00:05:04We will be celebrating with some surprises throughout the coming weeks
00:05:07as we head toward our massive 20th birthday party later this season.
00:05:12Mm-hmm.

00:05:45You get 10 votes per couple per voting method.
00:05:48That's right. That's right.
00:05:49Now, so you can get to know our stars, we ask them to dance to their anthems,
00:05:54the songs that best express who they are.
00:05:57We'll kick things off with this trailblazing gymnast.
00:06:00It's Olympic gold medalist Jordan Childs and her partner, Ezra Sosa.
00:06:06I am a two-time Olympian and a gold medalist with Team USA Women's Gymnastics team.
00:06:12My teammates did really well on the show, so they have set the bar high,
00:06:16and the expectation is probably even higher.
00:06:21No!
00:06:23Jordan has power.
00:06:25She is spicy, and she's fierce.
00:06:27Those are all things I look for in a partner.
00:06:29What is your anthem?
00:06:30Break my soul.
00:06:31Beyoncé.
00:06:32Yes! Here we are.
00:06:33Beyoncé, queen of all queens, has been a huge inspiration,
00:06:37and I even got to perform to her music at the Olympics.
00:06:40She actually sent me a signed vinyl.
00:06:42Cowboy Carter.
00:06:43I'm so excited.
00:06:45It's gonna be fun.
00:06:45Girl, you're gonna own out there.
00:06:47Thanks.
00:06:47Okay, but let's see if you can salsa.
00:06:49Low and low.
00:06:50Right now, she holds herself like a gymnast,
00:06:52but we have to start getting her to believe that she is a dancer.
00:06:55I went too early.
00:06:56It's totally different when you're flipping on a four-inch piece of wood
00:06:59than trying to partner dance, but I'm ready for it.
00:07:02I'm getting it!
00:07:03Yay!
00:07:07Dancing the salsa with her partner Ezra Sosa,
00:07:10it's Jordan Childs.
00:07:14I'm on the show!
00:07:15Take off the show!
00:07:16Be the best of the moment, let's go!
00:07:18Break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break.
00:07:22You won't break my soul, you won't break my soul, you won't break my soul, you won't break my soul.
00:07:30I'll tell everybody, everybody, I'll just shout, I'll just quit my job.
00:07:39You're gonna find them dry, damn, they work me so damn hard.
00:07:43The police in the front and the doms in the back, taking off clicks but the whole clicks snap.
00:07:47There's a whole lot of people in the house, trying to smoke with the yank in your mouth.
00:07:50You won't break my soul, you won't break my soul, you won't break my soul.
00:08:04What a great way to kick off the season!
00:08:21Jordan and Ezra with their salsa!
00:08:23Yes!
00:08:26You were just bouncing all over the place, girl.
00:08:29That was incredible.
00:08:30All right, let's hear what the judges have to say.
00:08:32Derek, take it away.
00:08:33Wow, just right out of the gate.
00:08:35All the flips and tricks.
00:08:37Fantastic, Jordan.
00:08:38Really amazing first dance.
00:08:39The side-by-side, giving that Beyonce flair.
00:08:42I see you.
00:08:42I see you.
00:08:43Okay, yeah, is this what we're doing now?
00:08:44Okay.
00:08:45Yes.
00:08:45That's what we're doing.
00:08:46I like it.
00:08:46I like it.
00:08:47All right, so listen, listen.
00:08:49One thing I want to point out a little bit is I love contemporizing and blending style so much.
00:08:53It's kind of my thing.
00:08:54I love it.
00:08:54But let's be mindful moving forward that we recognize the dancers.
00:08:57Keep the integrity of what Latin dancing is.
00:09:00I watched it with a little bit more content of salsa in there, but overall, that was a fantastic dancing.
00:09:04And Ezra, congrats, man.
00:09:06Congrats.
00:09:07All right, let's go.
00:09:08Thank you, man.
00:09:09I totally want.
00:09:10One more last thing real fast.
00:09:11One more last thing real fast on my time.
00:09:14Real fast.
00:09:15Excuse me.
00:09:15You're always on my time.
00:09:16We're taking it all the time.
00:09:18Go.
00:09:18No, so the scoring tonight, just be mindful.
00:09:20It might be a little bit lower than you're expecting because there's a long way to go.
00:09:23This is a marathon, all right?
00:09:25So we want to make sure that we leave you guys room to grow.
00:09:27Just want to point that out.
00:09:28Bruno, hit it, bud.
00:09:29Okay.
00:09:29I love to see a little Spice girl coming out there.
00:09:32But yes.
00:09:34I love the Beyonce references.
00:09:36Everybody loves it.
00:09:37Now, I'm going to be tough because, you know, you did a lot of things well.
00:09:41A few of them, some of the dismounts were a bit wobbly.
00:09:44Okay.
00:09:44You have to carry the heat motion through the body.
00:09:48You can't just hit it.
00:09:49You have to express it.
00:09:51Okay.
00:09:52That's a couple of things you have to work at, but very, very good first performance, by the way.
00:09:57Thank you, guys.
00:09:58All right, head on up to Julianne in the skybox.
00:10:01Since this is everyone's first night on the floor, we're being kind.
00:10:04There's no elimination tonight.
00:10:06However, your votes and the judges' scores from tonight will carry over to next week's first elimination of the season.
00:10:13There's a party up there, Julianne.
00:10:14Oh, you know it.
00:10:15And by the way, this week gets off easy, but next week we're getting serious.
00:10:19Okay.
00:10:20Jordan, Ezra, first one out the gate.
00:10:22Are you feeling a little pressure starting off the competition?
00:10:25I'm relieved we finished.
00:10:26Like, we went first.
00:10:27We got it out of the way.
00:10:28But honestly, it was just so much fun dancing with her.
00:10:32I love her.
00:10:33Well, speaking of, Jordan, now, you got to choose your anthem, and it was to a Beyoncé song, which she gave you permission to actually do.
00:10:40Yes.
00:10:40What do you think Beyoncé would have scourged that performance?
00:10:44I probably would think, honestly, she probably would have been just very proud.
00:10:48She probably wouldn't have known the score system in general.
00:10:51But I'm just honored to be able to, you know, be able to dance to her and that she was able to clear that because she's somebody that I dearly look up to.
00:10:58And it was just amazing.
00:11:00Oh, we all look up to Beyoncé.
00:11:02And how is it dancing with Ezra, your partner?
00:11:05Oh, my gosh.
00:11:05Ezra is so amazing.
00:11:07You know, being able to give him this opportunity to, you know, dance again and just let him be him.
00:11:12I think that's the biggest thing is his personality.
00:11:15But it's...
00:11:15Oh, I can't breathe.
00:11:17Oh, my gosh.
00:11:19It's a real thing, everybody.
00:11:20Literally.
00:11:21It just gives me the opportunity to be myself as well.
00:11:23So our connection is very there, and I just love him.
00:11:26Yes.
00:11:26You guys are such a good match.
00:11:27Well, let's see if your match is equivalent to your scores.
00:11:33Derek Hough.
00:11:34Great first dance.
00:11:35Five.
00:11:37Bruno Tognoli.
00:11:38Room to grow.
00:11:39Five.
00:11:40All right.
00:11:41That is a 10 out of 20 for Jordan and Ezra.
00:11:44Tonight is your chance to meet our stars for the first time and your first chance to vote.
00:11:49So choose your favorites and keep them in the competition.
00:11:52Alfonso.
00:11:53Thanks, Julie Gann.
00:11:54I just hope Beyoncé is watching.
00:11:56She could be watching.
00:11:57All right.
00:11:58This action-packed season premiere features some of the most competitive stars ever, and
00:12:03they're coming up with their first-ever dances.
00:12:05Next, reality TV star Dylan Efron and Daniela Kattegocz, plus Elaine Hendricks and Alan Burstyn.
00:12:13Bye.
00:12:13Bye.
00:12:13Welcome back to Dancing with the Stars.
00:12:27We'll continue our season premiere with a content creator and outdoor enthusiast who gained global
00:12:33popularity with the hit travel series, Down to Earth, with Zac Efron.
00:12:37It's reality TV star Dylan Efron and his partner, Daniela Kattegocz.
00:12:42You might know me from Winning the Traitors or my thirst traps on social media.
00:12:49I've done a lot of adrenaline junkie type things, but this experience is going to raise my heart rate more than anything I've ever done.
00:12:55Do you have any dance experience?
00:13:05My whole life I've strayed against performing.
00:13:08I was my brother's biggest fan.
00:13:10He was always the star, always the most charismatic.
00:13:13So it's really natural for a younger sibling to stray away from that.
00:13:17So I'm excited to do something no one would expect.
00:13:19Well, you get to start with cha-cha.
00:13:21Bend your knees.
00:13:22Dylan's biggest challenge is coming out of his shell and just loosen up a little bit.
00:13:27You're losing me with the hips on that.
00:13:28I chose milkshake by Calise as my anthem because this moment's all about conquering this fear of dancing in public.
00:13:35Oh, are we really doing this?
00:13:36And what better way to do that than to just go out there and shake my ass?
00:13:43Dancing the cha-cha with his partner, Daniela Kattegocz.
00:13:47It's Dylan Efron.
00:13:49My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard and they're like, it's better than yours, Sam, right?
00:13:57It's better than yours, I'll teach you, but I have to charge.
00:14:00I'm told you wanted the thing that makes me what the guys go crazy for.
00:14:12They lose their minds the way I want.
00:14:15I think it's time.
00:14:20Warm it up.
00:14:24The boys are waiting.
00:14:29Warm it up.
00:14:33The boys are waiting.
00:14:34My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard and they're like, it's better than yours, Sam, right?
00:14:39It's better than yours, I'll teach you, but I have to charge.
00:14:52Dylan and Daniela with a cha-cha.
00:14:55And the ballroom is on their feet.
00:15:00That was awesome.
00:15:03My man.
00:15:04You were feeling yourself in the beginning there.
00:15:06I love it.
00:15:07I love it.
00:15:08I think Bruno is going to like something here.
00:15:10Bruno, you go.
00:15:11Are you trying to distract me with the pecs appeal?
00:15:15Definitely.
00:15:16It's not working, honey.
00:15:17No.
00:15:18No, it works very well.
00:15:19Your shaking of the butt was first class.
00:15:23This was fake, by the way.
00:15:25Don't drink it because you get poisoned.
00:15:27But all I have to say now, seriously, some moments you were very, very good.
00:15:32Like the forward steps with the hip through the legs.
00:15:34Then you go completely off.
00:15:36You're on and off time all the way through.
00:15:38So you need to be consistent, yeah?
00:15:41Don't lose it halfway through.
00:15:43Keep on the moment, but don't go off time.
00:15:47There you go.
00:15:47Okay.
00:15:48Okay.
00:15:49Derek.
00:15:49Dylan.
00:15:51I was pleasantly surprised.
00:15:53I was like, I didn't know what to expect.
00:15:54I was like, oh my gosh, he's got some fluidity in the way he's moving.
00:15:57It was really impressive.
00:15:59But he's absolutely right.
00:15:59The timing.
00:16:00You lost the timing in a few places.
00:16:02Rushed.
00:16:02Got ahead of the music.
00:16:03And one other thing I would think about is Daniela is such a powerful dancer, right?
00:16:08So moving forward, I want to see you step into that leading man role and not to get overpowered
00:16:13by her.
00:16:13So a little more strength, a little bit more oomph in some of the dancing moving forward.
00:16:16But overall, what a fantastic and surprising first dance.
00:16:21Great job.
00:16:21Great job, brother.
00:16:22Great job.
00:16:23All right.
00:16:23Head on up to Julianne in the skybox as we meet our all-new troupe.
00:16:27I cannot wait to see what they are going to do for us this week.
00:16:57Oh, my goodness.
00:16:59Okay.
00:17:00Dylan, Danny.
00:17:01Okay.
00:17:01Let's just start from the beginning.
00:17:03You had to choose your anthem, and you chose Milkshake.
00:17:07Please explain.
00:17:09I listen to it every morning.
00:17:10It's like my morning coffee.
00:17:11No, I wanted to do something that was completely not me and just like I've never danced in my
00:17:16life.
00:17:16So just do something to shake it up.
00:17:18Honestly, seeing you do this little hip bump in front of Derek's face killed me.
00:17:23So you are known to be an adrenaline junkie, but how does that compare dancing live on television?
00:17:29Oh, this is way worse.
00:17:30My heart's going through my chest right now.
00:17:33But I feel it in the best way possible.
00:17:36Well, we love watching it.
00:17:38Danny, your smile on your face says it all.
00:17:40Let's get your scores.
00:17:43Derek Huff.
00:17:44Five.
00:17:46Oh.
00:17:46Bruno Antonio.
00:17:48Five.
00:17:49All right.
00:17:50That's a 10 out of 20 for Dylan and Daniela.
00:17:53Over the last 20 years, you at home have helped us name 33 champions.
00:17:58You can do it again this season when you vote for your favorites.
00:18:01Alfonso.
00:18:02Oh, I love it.
00:18:03Thanks, Julianne.
00:18:03There's a whole lot of back and forth happening down here with the audience.
00:18:05They're already pissed at these scores.
00:18:07All right.
00:18:08Our next star is best known for her unforgettable roles in Disney's The Parent Trap and Dynasty.
00:18:15It's film and TV actress Elaine Hendricks and her partner, Alan Burstyn.
00:18:21The dance studio and stage was certainly my first love.
00:18:26I'm an actress.
00:18:27Being young and beautiful is not a crime, you know.
00:18:30But I started my career as a professional dancer.
00:18:33So I want to sweat.
00:18:34I want the blisters.
00:18:36Bring it on.
00:18:39Hello.
00:18:42Welcome.
00:18:43I brought you a gift.
00:18:44It's champagne that we're going to drink when we win.
00:18:47I'm so excited to be partnered with Elaine because her energy is infectious.
00:18:51I actually started my career as a dancer.
00:18:54Just no ballroom.
00:18:56Why did you stop dancing?
00:18:57I was hit by a car and I'm really lucky that I walked away from it.
00:19:02The reality is, I don't know if I can do this.
00:19:05Our first dance is the cha-cha.
00:19:08I close my eyes and I imagine I'm still 21 years old.
00:19:11One, two, too much.
00:19:13You see how those...
00:19:14Yep.
00:19:14But my body might have different plans.
00:19:18Good job.
00:19:18Dancing the cha-cha with her partner, Alan Burstyn, it's Elaine Hendricks.
00:19:25I buy my own things.
00:19:31I pay my own bills.
00:19:33These diamond rings.
00:19:35My automobiles.
00:19:37Everything I got, I bought it.
00:19:39Boys can't buy my love.
00:19:42Buy my love.
00:19:44I'm a mother, mother.
00:19:45One, baby.
00:19:47All right.
00:19:48I'm the amount of pain.
00:19:50You're holding me so tight.
00:19:52I'm a mother.
00:19:54One, baby.
00:19:55That's right.
00:19:57I'm just having fun with my ladies here tonight.
00:20:01I'm a mother.
00:20:02Mother.
00:20:09Yeah.
00:20:11Don't touch my wrist.
00:20:13Don't touch me, honey.
00:20:14I'm a mother, mother, baby.
00:20:23Oh, yeah.
00:20:24I don't need a magic be holding me too tight.
00:20:28I'm a mother, mother, baby.
00:20:34Elaine and Alan with an incredible cha-cha.
00:20:39Oh, everybody's loving that.
00:20:41You are getting all the love you deserve, sweetie.
00:20:46Oh, my God.
00:20:47So good.
00:20:49That was beautiful.
00:20:51All right, Derek.
00:20:52I don't even know what to say.
00:20:54You are amazing.
00:20:57No, you are.
00:20:59Your performance.
00:21:01You have this, like, Broadway quality to your dancing.
00:21:04It is so mesmerizing.
00:21:06That was amazing.
00:21:07Okay, a few things, a few things.
00:21:08Arms.
00:21:08You've got to finish the arms all the way to the end, okay?
00:21:10Straighten the back of your knee to get that nice, straight leg.
00:21:14Just finish your movements off.
00:21:16But, oh, my goodness.
00:21:17What a great first dance.
00:21:19Listen, Elaine, your journey for reclaiming dance has officially begun tonight.
00:21:27Bruno.
00:21:27Oh, right on my street.
00:21:30Sassy, sexy, yet classy.
00:21:33You played it so well.
00:21:35I could see all the nuances in your performance.
00:21:38He's absolutely right.
00:21:39You have to finish the movement a little bit more cleanly.
00:21:43Careful with your shoulders.
00:21:45You know that.
00:21:46Because that will kind of, well, it helps.
00:21:49You know what I'm talking about.
00:21:50Anyway, he's absolutely right.
00:21:52Great performance.
00:21:54Great potential.
00:21:55Can't wait to see your day.
00:21:56Yes.
00:21:57Woo!
00:21:57Yes.
00:21:58Yes.
00:21:58All right, head on up to the skybox for your scores.
00:22:01Let's take a moment to welcome back our first-class music makers, our band, our singers, and our music director.
00:22:08It's Ray 2 Live.
00:22:11Great to see you back in the ballroom and on the bandstand, Ray.
00:22:15Love you, buddy.
00:22:16All right, Julianne, take it away.
00:22:17Oh, and they sound better than ever, Alfonso.
00:22:20And you all look better than ever.
00:22:22Meredith Blake with that hat.
00:22:24You just made all of us so happy.
00:22:26Woo!
00:22:27It was so amazing.
00:22:28Okay, Elaine, how long has it been since you have danced?
00:22:32The real of it is is that I haven't, I've never done ballroom, and I haven't actually trained in a studio in, like, 30 years.
00:22:38So all of this is new and exciting, and I'm just so grateful to be here.
00:22:42Well, and we chatted backstage a little bit.
00:22:45How's your body holding up?
00:22:46You know, again, I'm not going to lie.
00:22:48Like, I feel it, but I feel like it's worth it.
00:22:51It's so worth it, especially at this time in my life.
00:22:53It's like, I want to prove to myself, and I want to prove to other women that, like, age is just a number.
00:22:58It doesn't matter.
00:23:00Damn right.
00:23:01That's what I'm talking about.
00:23:02Okay, so you have to show me.
00:23:04Can you do that handshake?
00:23:06Yeah.
00:23:06Because we all know that handshake, right?
00:23:08So how do we start?
00:23:09Okay, so hands together.
00:23:10Boom.
00:23:11Oh, you want to do it?
00:23:11So we just do this.
00:23:12Oh, that's right.
00:23:13And up, yeah.
00:23:13Ha, ha, ha.
00:23:16Snap.
00:23:16All right, okay.
00:23:21That was a terrible score, but let's hope yours are better.
00:23:25Okay, here we go.
00:23:25Get your scores.
00:23:28Derek Huff.
00:23:29Six.
00:23:31Bruno Antonio.
00:23:33Six.
00:23:3612 out of 20 for Elaine and Alan.
00:23:39All right, do you think that they have what it takes to go the distance?
00:23:42If so, vote for them.
00:23:44Alfonso.
00:23:44All right, thanks, Julianne.
00:23:45And I can't wait for Alan and I to learn to dance with the hands, too.
00:23:48It's going to be great.
00:23:49Next, Mom Talk comes to the ballroom.
00:23:52Whitley Levitt dances with our returning pro, Mark Ballas, live.
00:23:56Welcome back.
00:24:09Joining us in our season premiere, the cast of the hit Hulu series, The Secret Lives of Mormon
00:24:14Wives.
00:24:15I feel like I'm right at home.
00:24:17All right, well, they are pumped to see their two of their performing their debut dances.
00:24:22Right now, it's Whitney Levitt and her partner, last season's guest judge, and three-time champion,
00:24:28Mark Ballas.
00:24:30You may know me from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
00:24:33I was the villain.
00:24:35And then I guess don't be my friend.
00:24:37Okay, I don't want to be your friend.
00:24:38But here, you're going to see a different side of me.
00:24:40Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.
00:24:45Welcome.
00:24:46I have memories sitting on the couch with my mom, watching Mark Ballas on the screen.
00:24:50Full circle moment right now.
00:24:52So tell me about TikTok.
00:24:53When I first became a mom, I met other women on TikTok.
00:24:56We created this group called Mom Talk.
00:24:58Got it.
00:24:58And then we got The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
00:25:01My friend is also on the show, Jen Affleck.
00:25:03We're going to want to push each other, but we're also going to want to beat each other.
00:25:06Is there, like, a little rivalry there?
00:25:08Of course there is.
00:25:08Why don't we play with a bit of the tango?
00:25:11TikTok dances are 15 seconds, maybe.
00:25:14Here, we're doing one minute to one minute 30 in heels.
00:25:17Which way are we going to get this?
00:25:18I've been humbled today, for sure.
00:25:20We are killing you.
00:25:22Yeah.
00:25:22There's just so many little steps, but bring it on, baby.
00:25:26I'm ready for those blisters.
00:25:27I'll take these off again.
00:25:28Take them off, take them off.
00:25:29Oh, my God.
00:25:31Dancing the tango with her partner, Mark Ballas, it's Whitney Levitt.
00:25:38I was a ghost.
00:25:45I was a ghost.
00:25:46I was a love.
00:25:46Huh.
00:25:47Dohajin.
00:25:48Huh.
00:25:49Kisoke.
00:25:50I live too large.
00:25:52Cause I've got too wide.
00:25:54But now that's how I'm getting paid.
00:25:57But that's real stage.
00:25:58I'm gone hiding, now I'm shining like I'm going to be.
00:26:05We dream and hurry, it goes for now, I believe.
00:26:13We're going up, up, up, it's our moment.
00:26:17You know the time that we're going.
00:26:18Gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be.
00:26:20Oh, up, up, up with our voices.
00:26:24You know what they did, you saw me.
00:26:26Gonna be, gonna be, gonna be.
00:26:27Oh, I'm done hiding, now I'm shining like a boy of peace.
00:26:41Mark and Whitney with a tango that has stopped the room.
00:26:49That was so good.
00:26:52Yes.
00:26:54I saw all those, the pivots and the show, you was good.
00:26:59You were so good.
00:27:02All right.
00:27:03Bruno, you need to lock your score in first before speaking.
00:27:06Oh, he's locked.
00:27:07I got it in.
00:27:08He's locked.
00:27:09Because the devil wears tango, Emily, tonight.
00:27:14I mean, I'm sorry, it's not just me.
00:27:17It's like watching Emily Blunt.
00:27:18You're acting, not just the dancing.
00:27:21The old performance was incredible.
00:27:23Elegant, the attitude was perfect, the content.
00:27:25Thank you, Mark.
00:27:26A fantastic tango as it should be.
00:27:30No messing around.
00:27:31Very, very, very high quality.
00:27:35Can't wait to see you again, Emily.
00:27:37I'm sure it won't be the disappointment.
00:27:39Her name is Whitney.
00:27:41Okay.
00:27:41All right.
00:27:42Derek.
00:27:42No, it's Whitney.
00:27:43Sorry.
00:27:45Listen, first of all, I love that song so much.
00:27:48So I was kind of lost in the music.
00:27:49I was like, yes.
00:27:51No, you could have sung in the golden Han moon.
00:27:53If anybody knows what that means, you know what it means.
00:27:55Okay.
00:27:57I don't know what to say.
00:27:58That was so beautiful.
00:27:59The neckline, the poise, the resistance to the body,
00:28:02and that oversway, the pivots.
00:28:03So beautiful.
00:28:05Of course, keep an eye out.
00:28:06Maintain the frame a little more consistent.
00:28:08If Carrie Ann was here tonight,
00:28:10she would have absolutely loved that routine.
00:28:12And I know she's watching.
00:28:14Well done.
00:28:15Good job.
00:28:16Head on up to the sky block for your scores.
00:28:19And if you at home want to see what happens behind the scenes
00:28:22during our show, grab your second screen
00:28:25and check out the action live on TikTok
00:28:27at official DWTS,
00:28:30hosted for this premiere by Sasha Farber.
00:28:32Yeah, Julianne.
00:28:33Oh, I know.
00:28:34I'm literally watching him right now.
00:28:36And he just happens to be right here.
00:28:38What?
00:28:39Oh, hey, Sasha.
00:28:43All right.
00:28:44Okay, get over here, Wendy and Mark.
00:28:47All right.
00:28:50Okay.
00:28:51First of all, I just have to say,
00:28:53you do like 10-second long mom talk videos.
00:28:56How is that dancing an entire routine?
00:28:58It's a lot more than that.
00:29:00And it's like five of them put together.
00:29:03So, yeah, it's a lot.
00:29:05It is.
00:29:05And also, that song, the Demon Hunters,
00:29:08I mean, was that your idea?
00:29:09Whose idea?
00:29:10This is your anthem.
00:29:11Where did that come from?
00:29:12I watched it with my kids one night,
00:29:14and I fell in love with it.
00:29:16I loved it.
00:29:16Well, it's incredible.
00:29:17And then, you want to know what I heard?
00:29:19What?
00:29:20I heard that you and our pro Whitney
00:29:23actually went to rival dance studios back in the day.
00:29:27Did you compete against each other?
00:29:29Oh, my goodness.
00:29:31Wow.
00:29:32We're back at it, but in the ballroom.
00:29:35All right, well, let's get your scores.
00:29:38Derek Hough, seven.
00:29:41Bruno Tom Yogi, seven.
00:29:44All right, that's a 15 out of 20 for Whitney and Mark.
00:29:48By the way, that's the highest score.
00:29:49How do you feel about that?
00:29:50I feel very grateful, very honored.
00:29:53Like, that's, I'm very grateful.
00:29:54Wow, thank you.
00:29:57All right.
00:29:59Oh, actually, we just came through my ear right now.
00:30:03Bruno actually put in an eight,
00:30:05so we have to correct it.
00:30:07It's a 15.
00:30:09Oh, hey.
00:30:11Good for you.
00:30:15We love live television.
00:30:17All right.
00:30:18Well, if you want them to survive
00:30:20the first elimination of the season,
00:30:22vote now with your texts and at ABC.com.
00:30:25Alfonso?
00:30:26Thanks, Julianne,
00:30:27and that is why we need Carrie Ann here,
00:30:29because that's what happens when she's gone.
00:30:32All right, up next, we've got an NBA All-Star
00:30:35whose current resume is as impressive
00:30:37as his league-leading steals,
00:30:39Baron Davis and Britt Stewart Cha-Cha.
00:30:42When we come back, live.
00:30:43Welcome back to Dancing with the Stars.
00:30:57All right, just to clarify something,
00:30:59our judges key in their scores right after the dance,
00:31:02and then they are locked,
00:31:03regardless of which paddle they hold up.
00:31:06We go with their locked score.
00:31:08So Bruno keyed in an eight,
00:31:09so Whitney's total was 15.
00:31:12Just to clarify, all right?
00:31:14Absolutely right.
00:31:15They should lock me up.
00:31:16Yeah, we're going to lock you up after.
00:31:17All right, let's get back to the show.
00:31:19This next athlete may have retired from the court,
00:31:22but he's busier than ever.
00:31:24He's a businessman, a producer, director, writer,
00:31:27analyst, and content creator
00:31:29who somehow still has time to learn how to dance.
00:31:32I don't know how he does it.
00:31:33It's two-time NBA All-Star,
00:31:35Baron Davis,
00:31:36and his partner, the newlywed,
00:31:38Britt Stewart.
00:31:38I am a 13-year NBA retired athlete,
00:31:45two-time NBA All-Star,
00:31:46and I'm here to learn how to dance.
00:31:49In the NBA, I always used to say,
00:31:51oh, the lights aren't bright enough.
00:31:52Now it's like, can we do this in the dark?
00:31:56My goodness!
00:31:58How are you?
00:31:59Welcome.
00:31:59Nice to meet you.
00:32:01Athletes always do amazing,
00:32:03so bring it on.
00:32:04So there has been some other basketball players on the show.
00:32:08You know, I saw Kareem.
00:32:09You see a legend like that.
00:32:11That's what gave me the motivation to do it.
00:32:13I got to figure out a way to be good.
00:32:14Okay, so I want your hands just like this.
00:32:17So my anthem is,
00:32:18can't touch this YMCA hammers.
00:32:20Because it gives me the energy
00:32:21to make me feel like a kid again.
00:32:23I don't know!
00:32:24Ah!
00:32:25But I'm out of shape.
00:32:27I'm hurting.
00:32:27So sore.
00:32:28So as an athlete,
00:32:29you just revert back to like,
00:32:31okay, what did I do to get stronger?
00:32:33Hit it.
00:32:34And we're going to get it done.
00:32:35Ah!
00:32:36Ah!

00:32:47You can't touch this.
00:32:51My, my, my, my.
00:32:54You can't touch this.
00:32:55Music hits me so hard.
00:32:56Make me say, oh my lord.
00:32:58Thank you for blessing me
00:33:00with a mind too high and too high.
00:33:02Dude, it feels good.
00:33:03Well, you know you're down.
00:33:04Super dope homeboy from the old time
00:33:06and I'm known as such.
00:33:08And this is a big fun.
00:33:09You can't touch this.
00:33:11I told you, homeboy.
00:33:12You can't touch this.
00:33:14Yeah, that's how we living it, you know.
00:33:17You can't touch this.
00:33:18Look in my eyes, man.
00:33:20You can't touch this.
00:33:24Break it down.
00:33:31Stop.
00:33:32Every time.
00:33:35You can't touch this.
00:33:45Beren and Brick,
00:33:46you can't touch that cha-cha.
00:33:48Yes, sir.
00:33:52Yes, sir.
00:33:53They're loving you.
00:33:54On their feet for you, brother.
00:33:55Yes, sir.
00:33:57You did it.
00:33:57You got the first one done.
00:33:59All right, all right.
00:34:00Derek, take it away.
00:34:01Beren, you didn't just touch this.
00:34:03You crushed this.
00:34:04That was so fun, man.
00:34:07You have so much charisma, so much performance quality.
00:34:10I almost didn't, like, see some of the hill leads in there.
00:34:13Well, I did.
00:34:14No, well, okay.
00:34:15Come on.
00:34:16No, but no, listen, listen.
00:34:17That was a great, great first dance.
00:34:20You should be so happy.
00:34:22So much potential.
00:34:23I can't wait to see what you do next.
00:34:24Great job.
00:34:25Love that.
00:34:25Love that.
00:34:25Bruno, come on.
00:34:26Well, you hammered the cha-cha-cha.
00:34:28Hammered almost into oblivion.
00:34:30But I love all the hammer references, spot on.
00:34:33When you do the cha-cha, it has to be right.
00:34:36And it'd be nice to see a little bit more of it, because I think you do have the talent.
00:34:39You're a great dancer.
00:34:41And no, he leads in the cha-cha-cha.
00:34:44That was nice.
00:34:45Okay.
00:34:46All right.
00:34:47They're saying yes.
00:34:48Well, head on up to the skybox for your score.
00:34:49Great job, buddy.
00:34:50All right.
00:34:51Joining us in the ballroom tonight, our reigning champion and now host of our new Dancing

00:35:15Yes, we are.
00:35:16And honestly, I cannot wait to catch up with Joey and you and talk about everything that
00:35:20we've seen tonight, because that performance was off the hook.
00:35:23It was so good.
00:35:24I love this performance.
00:35:25Okay, so I heard that you have a WhatsApp group with some of your former teammates.
00:35:31I'm so curious what they said when you said you were going to do Dancing with the Stars.
00:35:35They laugh for like five minutes, you know, face emojis, don't lose, don't go out.
00:35:42I just wanted to get it done.
00:35:43I'm tired.
00:35:44I'm tired.
00:35:45Well, you got one out of the way.
00:35:47Let's get your scores.
00:35:50Derek Huff.
00:35:51That's right, Brudo.
00:35:53Five.
00:35:55Bruno, Tom Yogi.
00:35:56Five.
00:35:57What is happening down there, Bruno?
00:35:59All right, that is 10 out of 20 for Baron and Britt.
00:36:03Remember, none of these first-time competitors can survive next week's elimination on judges'
00:36:07scores alone.
00:36:08You at home have to vote.
00:36:09You get 10 of them per couple per voting method.
00:36:12Alfonso?
00:36:12Hi.
00:36:13Thanks, Julianne.
00:36:14Legions of fans on social media get ready with our next global personality who made the
00:36:192025 Forbes list of top creators.
00:36:23Alex Earle and Val Smutowski will chat-cha after this, live.
00:36:27Welcome back.
00:36:39Next on the floor, a top creator and one of the biggest social media personalities on the
00:36:44planet.
00:36:44She set off a global firestorm with her humor, her fashion, beauty, and lifestyle tips.
00:36:51It's Alex Earle and her partner, Val Smutowski.
00:36:54People originally got to know me from my Get Ready With Me videos.
00:37:00Going on a little date, so I'm trying to look snatched.
00:37:03The last two years have been insane.
00:37:06I was in a movie and a Super Bowl commercial, but no one has seen my competitive side yet.
00:37:11It's about to go down.
00:37:13Hi.
00:37:17Oh, I'm shaking.
00:37:19I'm so nervous.
00:37:20I'm Alex.
00:37:20Alex, nice to meet you.
00:37:22Seeing this in person is crazy.
00:37:23I'm such a big fan of him, so I was trying not to freak out, but I was like...
00:37:26What is your dance experience?
00:37:29Dance was my sport growing up.
00:37:31I actually tried starting out on TikTok by dancing, and that got me nowhere.
00:37:36This is like a dream come true.
00:37:38Boom.
00:37:38I like this one.
00:37:39Chacha is action-packed.
00:37:41This is very overwhelming for her.
00:37:44What am I doing wrong?
00:37:46Not following me.
00:37:47My 10-year-old self would be floored.
00:37:49I'm lost.
00:37:50That's fine.
00:37:51So I hope I'm able to make her proud.
00:37:53Boom.
00:37:54Nice.
00:37:58Dancing the Chacha with her partner, Val Smutowski, it's Alex Earle.
00:38:11My 10-year-old self would be floored.
00:38:13Who is the entertain?
00:38:15And the ones that I say.
00:38:17Well, baby, I'm a kid on a show kind of girl.
00:38:21Don't like the backseat.
00:38:23You gotta be first.
00:38:25I'm like the wind leader.
00:38:27I call the shots, like the ball cracker
00:38:31I make it hot when I put on a show
00:38:35I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
00:38:39Spotlight ready, hope that you feel the same
00:38:43My life's on me in the center of the room just like a circus
00:38:48I put my breath in, everybody gon' shoot just like a circus
00:38:52Alex and Val with a cha-cha to a Britney Spears hit
00:39:10Yes, you did it, you did it
00:39:14Yes, fantastic, fantastic, we love that
00:39:19Oh, that was so good, very good
00:39:22Feel good?
00:39:24Yes, I feel like I'm gonna puke
00:39:25All right, Bruno, take it away
00:39:27Don't be worried, because you did very, very well, my darling
00:39:30And you got the legs for it, come on
00:39:32Look at this girl, stunning
00:39:35You look great, you did everything you had to do
00:39:38It gave you a very difficult routine
00:39:39That's a tiny little thing, you know, when you dance
00:39:41It's not just like hitting one move, the other move
00:39:44It's the fluency and the continuity
00:39:48And the connection, yeah
00:39:49Always remember, it's like playing a scene
00:39:52You have to play off your partner
00:39:54Don't stand only in your world
00:39:57Your world has to encompass everyone in here
00:40:00Yeah, projection
00:40:01Sorry, but that's true
00:40:03You translated it, Derek, Derek
00:40:04Well, listen, the good thing about this is that
00:40:08Carrie-Anne isn't here so I can get a little further away from Bruno
00:40:10Wonderful
00:40:12Well, listen, no, I'm in the dark, let me find my light
00:40:14Listen, sharp, clean, precise, powerful
00:40:18That was a really, really impressive first dance, truly
00:40:22Guys, not an easy routine
00:40:24The confidence, the strength
00:40:25Just one little note
00:40:26Just be careful that precision doesn't turn into stiffness
00:40:29Sometimes it can get a little rigid up here
00:40:30But other than that, great first dance
00:40:33Beautiful, beautiful
00:40:34Head on up to the skybox for your scores
00:40:37Alright, if you haven't been taking notes
00:40:39We've been doing it for you
00:40:41Let's check out the judges' leaderboard after the first five couples
00:40:44At the top for now are Whitney and Mark with 15
00:40:47And in a three-way tie at the bottom
00:40:50Also for now are Baron and Britt, Dylan and Daniela
00:40:53And Jordan and Ezra with 10
00:40:54Alex and Val are anxious to find out where they will land
00:40:58Juliet
00:40:58Yeah, and they are right here
00:41:00Okay, so Alex, I gotta know
00:41:02You got your start by filming videos in the privacy of your own home
00:41:06And now you are here in front of a live audience
00:41:09In front of millions of people watching right now
00:41:11How do you feel and how does that compare?
00:41:13I mean, it's really exciting
00:41:14It's something I've always dreamed of doing
00:41:16I think, you know, I just kind of try to ignore all the cameras
00:41:19That are moving around here
00:41:20But I think, like, the one thing that carries through
00:41:22Is just me being myself in both scenarios
00:41:24And try to keep that authenticity with it
00:41:27Authenticity is key
00:41:28Let's get your scores
00:41:29Derek Huff
00:41:32Strong
00:41:33Seven
00:41:33Bruno Tom Young
00:41:36Six
00:41:37Alright
00:41:3813 out of 20 for Alex and Val
00:41:41If you follow her on social media
00:41:43And want her to stay in the competition
00:41:45You have to let us know with your votes, Alfonso
00:41:47Thanks, Julianne
00:41:48Alright, more exciting stars are on the way
00:41:50Topanga is in the ballroom
00:41:52And so is a Grammy winner from Pentatonic
00:41:54Danielle Fischel
00:41:55Impostor Poskov
00:41:56And Scott Hoying
00:41:57And Riley Arnold
00:41:58Dance after this
00:41:59Live
00:41:59Welcome back
00:42:11Next up
00:42:12An award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer
00:42:14Who has sold more than 13 million albums
00:42:17From Pentatonix
00:42:18It's Grammy winner Scott Hoying
00:42:19And his partner
00:42:20Riley Arnold
00:42:21Like the legend of the phoenix
00:42:24People might know me from the Grammy-winning acapella group, Pentatonix
00:42:27I made a career out of singing, so now it's time to dance on a stage, too
00:42:32Pause up
00:42:33Oh my god
00:42:38I love you
00:42:40I am so excited to have Riley
00:42:43I love her choreography
00:42:44I'm such a fan
00:42:45Why did you want to do Dancing with the Stars?
00:42:47I just love the show
00:42:48And I'm always afraid to dance
00:42:49Or I do acapella
00:42:50And you can't really dance
00:42:51Because you're singing so much
00:42:52Singing is something I'm very comfortable with
00:42:54But dancing feels a lot more vulnerable
00:42:56For tango
00:42:57It's done in frame
00:42:58Singing in a group gives you a little bit of a cushion
00:43:00Keep those elbows up
00:43:01It's gonna be a problem
00:43:02But with this tango
00:43:03He's gotta get used to performing on his own
00:43:05So much to think about
00:43:06I am dancing to Abracadabra by Lady Gaga
00:43:09Because my husband and I did an Abracadabra TikTok
00:43:11And she commented, this is so sweet
00:43:13I know
00:43:14So we went and got the comment framed
00:43:16So hopefully we get another comment
00:43:17Want to make Gaga proud
00:43:19Dancing the tango
00:43:23With his partner Riley Arnold
00:43:25It's Scott Hoying
00:43:27Can I dance
00:43:30Dance
00:43:31Or die
00:43:32Abracadabra
00:43:34Abracadabra
00:43:36Pay the toll
00:43:42To the angels
00:43:43Drawing circles
00:43:45In the clouds
00:43:47Hold me in your heart tonight
00:43:51In the magic of the dark moonlight
00:43:55Save me from this empty fight
00:44:00In the game of life
00:44:03Abracadabra
00:44:04Abracadabra
00:44:05I want
00:44:05Ooh na na
00:44:06Abracadabra
00:44:08What's that
00:44:09Ooh na na
00:44:10Abracadabra
00:44:12Abracadabra
00:44:12Abracadabra
00:44:13Ooh na na
00:44:14And I told you
00:44:16Say
00:44:16Death or love tonight
00:44:20Abracadabra
00:44:22Abracadabra
00:44:24Abracadabra
00:44:26Abracadabra
00:44:27Scott and Riley with a tango
00:44:36Abracadabra
00:44:36Abracadabra
00:44:37And the ballroom are on their feet
00:44:40The ballroom
00:44:41They're loving you Scott
00:44:42Yeah buddy
00:44:44Great job Riley
00:44:46Great job
00:44:46All right Derek
00:44:47First of all
00:44:49It's so good to see you on this ballroom floor
00:44:50We knew you had the singing chops
00:44:51But the dancing chops man
00:44:53So impressive
00:44:54I see the side by side
00:44:56So comfortable
00:44:56Now listen
00:44:57Ballroom
00:44:57What makes ballroom so beautiful
00:44:59Is the discipline of it
00:45:00Right
00:45:00That left arm was all over the joint
00:45:02The right one is turned in
00:45:04We gotta get the fundamentals in this
00:45:07But listen
00:45:07For a week one dance
00:45:09Amazing
00:45:10Great job
00:45:11All right
00:45:12By the way you stole my suit
00:45:14Give it back to me right now
00:45:16You
00:45:17Listen we love
00:45:18I love all of this Lady Gaga
00:45:20I mean I'm the greatest fan
00:45:22Nevertheless
00:45:22This is a tango
00:45:23There should be more tango in it
00:45:25And when you do it
00:45:26It's absolutely right
00:45:27You have to refine
00:45:28Yeah
00:45:29Refine what you do
00:45:30Because it's a little bit messy
00:45:31That's the truth
00:45:33Goodbye
00:45:33Goodbye
00:45:35Goodbye
00:45:36All right
00:45:36Well goodbye
00:45:37Head on up to Julianne

00:46:03Honestly
00:46:04I have so much respect
00:46:05For ballroom
00:46:06And what they do
00:46:07I'm just
00:46:07It makes me want to work harder
00:46:08Okay
00:46:09So speaking of Lady Gaga
00:46:11She's already given you comments before
00:46:13But what do you think
00:46:13That Lady Gaga would give you
00:46:15For that performance
00:46:16Hopefully a 10
00:46:18Because I love her

00:46:48Next
00:46:49A beloved actress
00:46:50And director
00:46:51Who starred
00:46:51In the hit series
00:46:53Boy Meets World
00:46:54And it's spinoff
00:46:55Girl Meets World
00:46:56It's Danielle Fischel
00:46:57And her partner
00:46:58Pasha Pashkar
00:46:59Corey Matthews
00:47:02Will always be
00:47:03Topanga's first love
00:47:04I knew it the minute
00:47:05I kissed him
00:47:05But I'm hoping
00:47:06Dancing will be
00:47:07My perfect match
00:47:08Having just survived cancer
00:47:10This is my year
00:47:12Of yes
00:47:12And so Dancing with the Stars
00:47:15Was one of my biggest yeses
00:47:17I'm so happy
00:47:22Anybody who's ever
00:47:24Danced with Pasha
00:47:25Raves about him
00:47:27So I'm in good hands
00:47:28Do you have any
00:47:29Dance experience
00:47:30No I don't
00:47:31You don't
00:47:31Okay
00:47:32One advantage
00:47:32I might have
00:47:33Is I have been
00:47:34Performing 30 plus years
00:47:36And I don't know
00:47:37How many of the other
00:47:38Younger cast members
00:47:39Have that same experience
00:47:40Alright
00:47:41Tango
00:47:42Tango
00:47:42Uh huh
00:47:43Only when we cross
00:47:44I'm stuck behind
00:47:45Right
00:47:45My anthem is
00:47:46Stronger by Kelly Clarkson
00:47:47Sorry
00:47:48After overcoming cancer
00:47:50This song really took on
00:47:51A whole new meaning
00:47:52Cut
00:47:52Cut
00:47:53So dancing to it
00:47:54Is going to be pretty emotional
00:47:55That was good
00:47:56Okay
00:47:56That was good
00:47:57Dancing the tango
00:48:02With her partner
00:48:03Pasha Pashkar
00:48:03It's Danielle Fischel
00:48:05You know the bed
00:48:16Feels warmer
00:48:17Sleeping here alone
00:48:21You know I dream in color
00:48:25You know I dream in color
00:48:25And do the things I want
00:48:29You think you got the best in me
00:48:32Think you bad the last laugh
00:48:34And you don't know me
00:48:36Cause you're dead wrong
00:48:38What doesn't kill you
00:48:40Makes you stronger
00:48:41Stand a little further
00:48:43Doesn't mean I'm lonely
00:48:45When I'm alone
00:48:46What doesn't kill you
00:48:47Makes you stronger
00:48:49Stand a little further
00:48:51Doesn't mean I'm lonely
00:48:52When I'm alone
00:48:55When I'm alone
00:48:56Then yell and Pasha
00:49:09Yes, so good
00:49:12First one
00:49:13That felt great, right?
00:49:15That's amazing
00:49:16Yeah, good job
00:49:17Great job
00:49:18Yeah, the ballroom's loving it
00:49:20All right
00:49:21Bruno, take it away
00:49:22Darling, well done
00:49:24I didn't know you had it in you
00:49:26I mean you had wonderful sense of movement
00:49:28You moved so well
00:49:29Great fluidity
00:49:31Great partnering
00:49:32Pasha did a very, very good job
00:49:34Just make sure
00:49:36Check your shoulder line
00:49:37That is always the hardest thing to do
00:49:39But I'm telling you, darling
00:49:40You should be proud of yourself
00:49:42Yeah
00:49:43Yeah
00:49:43Derek
00:49:45I think I could say
00:49:46Speak on behalf of America
00:49:47We all just had a crush on you, honestly
00:49:50I'll be honest
00:49:51My wife is here
00:49:52I love you, honey
00:49:52But no
00:49:54That was so beautiful to watch
00:49:56It was like a breath of fresh air
00:49:57It really was
00:49:58The way you moved across that floor
00:50:00Is exactly what I like to see in a tango
00:50:02He's absolutely right, though
00:50:03Watch the shoulders
00:50:04By the way
00:50:04Shoulders are going to be something
00:50:05We're going to say every single week
00:50:06Watch your shoulders
00:50:08That means the hardest thing to do
00:50:09It is
00:50:10But listen
00:50:10Well done
00:50:11Well done
00:50:12Right on
00:50:12Fantastic
00:50:13Fantastic

00:50:30Love the one-hit wonders
00:50:32Oh, welcome up here to the skybox
00:50:36Now, Derek just said it
00:50:37But I want to know
00:50:38Is the fact that every person I think I've ever met
00:50:41Who has, like, has a crush on you
00:50:43Is that your strategy to win this thing?
00:50:45I'll take it
00:50:45If you had a crush on me, you better vote

00:51:34And next, we have another Mormon wife with a secret life
00:51:38Jeanette Fleck pairs up with our new pro, Jan Ravnick, live
00:51:43Welcome back
00:51:55It's Mom Talk Part 2
00:51:57As we welcome another star from the hit Hulu series

00:52:02She's paired with our new pro
00:52:04Who joins us direct from Taylor Swift's Eras Tour
00:52:07It's Jen Affleck and her partner, Jan Ravnick
00:52:11I never thought that my silly dance videos on the countertops would lead to this
00:52:18Most people know me from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
00:52:21Mom Talk?
00:52:23Shut up
00:52:24I have three kids under three
00:52:26My newborn is eight weeks
00:52:28So I don't know if my pelvic floor's ready, but I'm ready
00:52:30Hey!
00:52:35My name is Jan Ravnick
00:52:38I am three times world champion dancer
00:52:41And I am new pro in this season
00:52:43I just came from the biggest tour in history
00:52:45Eras Tour
00:52:47The Taylor Swift?
00:52:48Yeah
00:52:48If he's good enough for Taylor, he's good enough for me
00:52:51So what is your dance experience?
00:52:53What led me to reality TV in the first place was me dancing
00:52:56I'm no professional, but I am Latina
00:52:59Love it!
00:53:00I've got the salsa moves
00:53:02Let's dance
00:53:03What I want to see for this salsa
00:53:05It's being very feminine, sexy
00:53:08And I think she got this
00:53:10Don't be a bad fish
00:53:11My anthem is Mueva Yol by Bad Bunny
00:53:14I want to be embraced being Latina
00:53:17And it's going to bring that out in me
00:53:19And I'm really excited
00:53:20Absolutely!
00:53:22Dancing the salsa with her partner Jan Ravnick
00:53:28It's Jen Affleck
00:53:29Nueva York
00:53:32Si te quieres divertir
00:53:44Con esta soy comprimor
00:53:48Solo tienes que vivir
00:53:53Cuando te vayas
00:53:53Un ratito nomás
00:53:58Hey, hey, hey, 4 de Julio, 4 de July
00:54:02Ando con mi primo borracho Rulay
00:54:04Lo mío en el flunk, saben la que hay
00:54:06Con la nota en high, but what she don't know
00:54:08Winnie Colón me dicen el malo
00:54:11Hey, porque pasa en los años sigo dando palo
00:54:14Vendiendo disco, como cuadrofil a calo
00:54:17Cuidado que nadie nos escuche
00:54:21Cuidado que nadie nos escuche
00:54:28Dad and Yan with a salsa to Bad Bunny
00:54:34Yes, yes
00:54:36Oh, she spent some time flying in this ballroom tonight
00:54:41What's it like up at that altitude?
00:54:46Very high up there
00:54:47Very high up there, yes it was
00:54:49Derek, take it away
00:54:50Well, first of all, I can't believe that you just had a baby a few months ago
00:54:54Bravo, that is like amazing
00:54:58And Yan, welcome to the show my friends
00:55:00Good to see you
00:55:01Thank you
00:55:02Listen, that was a great, great first dance
00:55:05If I had one note, it would be that
00:55:07Honestly, I feel like some of the lifts
00:55:08It actually slowed the routine down a little bit
00:55:10When you started dancing, I was like
00:55:12Oh, we're in it, we're going
00:55:13So I think moving forward
00:55:14Just a little bit more dancing
00:55:16But great, great first dance
00:55:18Well done
00:55:18All right, Bruno
00:55:19Oh my darling, you spent most of the time in the air
00:55:22I got vertical just watching you
00:55:24But the thing is, you see, you're good enough not to do that
00:55:28Go to the steps
00:55:29Because what it does, it stops the flow
00:55:31Once you get into it, go for it, push it
00:55:34Put some welly in it
00:55:36You know what I mean, darling?
00:55:37Don't keep it all locked in
00:55:39Because you've got it
00:55:40All right?
00:55:41All right, all right
00:55:42Great job
00:55:43Head on up to the skybox for your scores
00:55:45And in the ballroom for our season premiere

00:56:01Julianne
00:56:01Thanks, Alfonso
00:56:03All right, well, first of all
00:56:05I just want to say
00:56:06Welcome to the fam, Yan
00:56:08I tried to rhyme
00:56:10That didn't work
00:56:11Okay, let me get this straight
00:56:12You had a baby eight weeks ago
00:56:15And you just did that?
00:56:16Yes
00:56:17But not only did you have a baby eight weeks ago
00:56:22You have three babies under three
00:56:25Yes, three under three
00:56:26Yes, I love them
00:56:27You do love them
00:56:29But, like, doing that
00:56:30How did you feel after just, you know
00:56:32Clearly giving birth
00:56:33And getting out here on the dance floor
00:56:35What has this experience been like?
00:56:37You know what?
00:56:37It's a lot
00:56:38My body hurts
00:56:39I'm still recovering from giving birth
00:56:40But I'm having so much fun
00:56:42And I'm doing it for my kids
00:56:43So in the future
00:56:44They can do this too
00:56:45But it does look like
00:56:47You're having so much fun
00:56:47You are infectious
00:56:48Let's get your scores

00:56:53Strong
00:56:54Six

00:56:56Six
00:56:57All right, that's a 12 out of 20 for Jen and Yan
00:57:01You can't assume any of our stars are safe from our first elimination of the season next week
00:57:06They all need your votes, Alfonso
00:57:08Thanks, Julianne
00:57:09All right, some of our most anticipated stars are still on the way
00:57:12Corey Feldman and Jenna Johnson will tango when we come back
00:57:16Fly
00:57:17Welcome back to Dancing with the Stars
00:57:30All right, listen to this

00:57:57He's also scored three Billboard Top 40 hits
00:58:00It's actor and musician
00:58:02Corey Feldman and his partner, our reigning champion, Jenna Johnson
00:58:06Being in the business for 50 years, I could really say I've seen it all
00:58:12I'll only be young once
00:58:14As a musician, I love sparkle
00:58:16But I've never ballroom danced in my life
00:58:18But I'm going to learn it
00:58:20Who better to be with than somebody who just won
00:58:27Strike while the iron is hot, baby
00:58:29It seems like you already have dance experience
00:58:32A little bit
00:58:3213
00:58:33I was performing at the Rose Bowl
00:58:35Doing Michael Jackson's Bowie Jean
00:58:37I was very good friends with Alfonso Ribeiro
00:58:40We used to perform together
00:58:41No way
00:58:42But it's been a while
00:58:43So I am yours to train
00:58:45We're going to attack something
00:58:47He's groovy
00:58:50With the Michael Jackson inspo
00:58:53But tango is all about connection
00:58:55Chest up
00:58:56Yeah
00:58:56Poster is tricky because I have scoliosis
00:58:58Okay, can we start right now?
00:59:00You have to have this grace about it
00:59:02So I have a lot to learn
00:59:05Look at you go
00:59:05All right, cool
00:59:06Dancing the tango
00:59:09With his partner, Jenna Johnson
00:59:11It's Corey Feldman
00:59:17So what's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing
00:59:21Can't you tell that your ties me wide
00:59:24Baby, I should buy some old tab collars
00:59:28Welcome back to the age of child
00:59:31So where you been hiding now lately, honey
00:59:36Can't rent this trash until you spend a lot of money
00:59:39Cause everybody's talking about the news
00:59:42Sound funny
00:59:43But it's still rock and roll to me
00:59:46Yeah, thank you
00:59:48Cause everybody's talking about the news
01:00:06Sound funny
01:00:07But it's still rock and roll to me
01:00:10Corry and Jenna with a rock and roll tango
01:00:21Yes, that's my buddy
01:00:23All right, dude
01:00:26Got that little Michael in there, baby
01:00:28Come on, I see it
01:00:30All right
01:00:31All right
01:00:33Bruno
01:00:34You're putting your personal spin
01:00:36Into the interpretation of the tango
01:00:39It's a tango Jackson, isn't it
01:00:41It's a tango
01:00:42It's a new thing you created
01:00:43But I have to say, honestly
01:00:45The performance was great
01:00:47Now work on the technique
01:00:48Obviously you're a performer
01:00:49You're an actor
01:00:50You've got it within you
01:00:51Yeah
01:00:51Clean up the technique
01:00:52Right?
01:00:53That's it
01:00:53All right
01:00:54Derek
01:00:54Corey
01:00:55Man
01:00:56You're an absolute Hollywood icon
01:01:00Truly
01:01:00Some of my favorite films
01:01:01Seeing you here is really an honor
01:01:03Truly
01:01:04I mean that
01:01:04The performance
01:01:06It was so fun to watch
01:01:08There's a softness to you
01:01:09It was really, really amazing to watch
01:01:10Of course
01:01:11The dancing
01:01:12The technique
01:01:13The form
01:01:13The frame
01:01:14If we can
01:01:14There's a lot to work on
01:01:16But great first dance
01:01:18Really, truly
01:01:19Great dance
01:01:19You can do it
01:01:20Great dance
01:01:21Skybox for your scores

01:01:24All right
01:01:24Again
01:01:25There's no elimination tonight
01:01:26So our stars are off the hook
01:01:28But you're not
01:01:30Your votes and the judges' scores
01:01:31From tonight
01:01:32Will carry over to next week's
01:01:34First elimination of the season

01:01:37And again next week
01:01:39Juliet
01:01:39Thanks, Alfonso
01:01:41And speaking of Alfonso
01:01:44Corey
01:01:44You've known him since you were a teen
01:01:47Give us the tea
01:01:47Who's a better dancer?
01:01:48You or Alfonso?
01:01:50Come on
01:01:50Well, come on now
01:01:51He's the tap dance kid
01:01:52You can't argue with that
01:01:54He was winning Tonys
01:01:56When I was still in Gremlins
01:01:58Well, you're the comeback king
01:02:01So I'm just saying
01:02:02Okay
01:02:03So you said that you had scoliosis
01:02:06What is this experience like?
01:02:08Well, you know what?
01:02:08I have to be honest
01:02:09This is such a reward for me
01:02:11Because honestly
01:02:12I was thinking to myself
01:02:13How do I make myself better?
01:02:16How do I improve?
01:02:17And when I start hitting my middle age
01:02:18Which is going to happen
01:02:19In like a decade or two
01:02:20What do I do to improve my form?
01:02:24Because I have terrible posture
01:02:26I've had it since I was a kid
01:02:27And this is like a gift
01:02:28Landing in my lab
01:02:30That is helping me
01:02:31To fix a problem
01:02:32That I've always wanted to better
01:02:34So thank you
01:02:35That's so beautiful, Corey

01:02:52That is a nine out of 20
01:02:54For Corey and Jenna
01:02:56Of course
01:02:57No one can rely on
01:02:58Judges scores alone
01:02:59To stay in the competition
01:03:00You have the power
01:03:01To keep your favorites

01:06:20That was really good
01:06:21It was really good
01:06:23No I mean
01:06:24It was elegant
01:06:25It was sophisticated
01:06:26It was elegant
01:06:26There was texture
01:06:27In your movement
01:06:28It was just
01:06:29Really beautiful
01:06:30Your frame
01:06:30Was consistent
01:06:31Throughout
01:06:32It was wonderful
01:06:33One little note
01:06:34If I had to give
01:06:34And I'm blinking red
01:06:35Over there
01:06:36Is stick the landing
01:06:37The last dip
01:06:38Yeah
01:06:38Just the legs
01:06:39Were a little
01:06:39You know
01:06:40Could have been a little
01:06:41More elongated
01:06:42But overall
01:06:43Holy
01:06:43You put us all
01:06:44On notice tonight
01:06:45Alright
01:06:46Oh yeah
01:06:47Very very well done
01:06:49Once you're in full flow
01:06:51You have a wonderful
01:06:52Wonderful fluidity
01:06:53An ease of movement
01:06:54That looks very very good
01:06:56Don't stop that
01:06:57Because when you stop it
01:06:59The old thing
01:06:59Kind of loses its impact
01:07:01And always finish
01:07:03And move cleanly
01:07:04You know
01:07:04Tiny tiny little thing
01:07:07But listen
01:07:07Well done
01:07:08Well done

01:08:29For many years
01:08:30Our next star
01:08:31Lit up late night TV
01:08:32As the right hand man
01:08:33Of Conan O'Brien
01:08:34He's also starred
01:08:36In movies
01:08:36Headlined
01:08:37Three series
01:08:37And countless
01:08:38Sitcom roles
01:08:40It's comedian
01:08:41Andy Richter
01:08:42And his partner
01:08:43Emma Slater
01:08:44I was Conan O'Brien's
01:08:47Sidekick
01:08:48For about three decades
01:08:49But I'm also an actor
01:08:50I somehow managed
01:08:51To be dance avoidant
01:08:53Throughout my entire career
01:08:54The time is up
01:08:56On that I guess
01:08:57Hello
01:09:01I got Emma
01:09:03And I feel much better
01:09:05She just seems like
01:09:06A really positive person
01:09:08What do you think
01:09:09You're most nervous for
01:09:10My legs holding up
01:09:12I
01:09:12Some of these people
01:09:14Have never
01:09:15Looked like idiots
01:09:16On TV
01:09:16That part of it
01:09:19I'm not afraid of
01:09:20Well no
01:09:21I should face you
01:09:22Cha cha cha
01:09:23Fast footwork
01:09:24Might be difficult
01:09:25For Andy
01:09:25Cha cha
01:09:26But he's giving me
01:09:28So much effort
01:09:29And that's all
01:09:29You can ask for
01:09:30Do it again
01:09:30Look how much
01:09:31That has improved
01:09:32I don't think
01:09:32I'm gonna be
01:09:33The best dancer here
01:09:35Wah
01:09:35There you go

01:14:21Do you have any dance experience?
01:14:23I used to be a dancer
01:14:24I had to stop
01:14:25Because I broke my hip all the way through
01:14:27How did that happen?
01:14:28Overuse
01:14:28That's crazy
