00:00:00Going crazy for that opening number choreographed by Lu'am!
00:00:05Oh yeah!
00:00:07Welcome to the semifinals and keep it going for our six semifinalists!
00:00:12Tonight, they've got to perform two dances starring in a place in next week's season finale
00:00:17where they will compete for our Len Goodman, Mirrorball Trophy!
00:00:21That's right!
00:00:23And because it's Prince Night, the dances will be performed to the best loved songs of this musical genius!
00:00:30Voting is open right now and is available to the U.S., its territories, and Canada at abc.com.
00:00:36Plus, subscribers on participating U.S. wireless phone carriers can text the first name of their favorite star to the number 21523.
00:00:43Message and data rates may apply.
00:00:45You get 10 votes per couple per voting method.
00:00:48All right, now before we get into the competition,
00:00:50let's take a look at the phenomenal career of the legendary artists we're celebrating tonight.
00:01:00My name is Prince.
00:01:06And I've come to play with you.
00:01:16Prince didn't just play music, he embodied it.
00:01:20Prince showed us that music isn't just something you hear, it's something you feel.
00:01:26Every note he hit, every step he took, blurred the line between musician and dancer.
00:01:34His music fused as many styles as his dance moves.
00:01:39Funk met ballet, rock met contemporary, and movement became liberation.
00:01:44Prince showed us that music isn't just something you hear, it's something you feel.
00:01:50And tonight, we dance in his honor.
00:01:53What a remarkable showman.
00:02:04Now, we're presenting the songs of Prince in order.
00:02:07So we'll start with a foxtrot to his first major hit single in 1979,
00:02:12I Wanna Be Your Lover.
00:02:14It's film and TV actress Elaine Hendrix and her Alan Burstyn.
00:02:18Two weeks ago, you couldn't even dance and here you are,
00:02:24giving it to the Fly Girl Moves.
00:02:26Well done.
00:02:27Rise!
00:02:28I wasn't sure if I would make it with nines.
00:02:31So I am beside myself that I am in the semifinals.
00:02:36Elaine, we made it.
00:02:37We made it to the semifinals.
00:02:39It's something that I wanted and I've worked so hard for.
00:02:42I'm just elated.
00:02:44I'm so proud of you.
00:02:45Yeah, thanks.
00:02:45It is Prince Night, which is iconic.
00:02:48I grew up on Prince and he was just such a showman.
00:02:52He knew how to command the stage.
00:02:54All eyes were on him and that's what we've got to do.
00:02:57Exactly.
00:02:58So I like the idea of stepping into those shoes.
00:03:00We got to get these tens.
00:03:01We got to make it into the finale.
00:03:03Yeah, I want that.
00:03:04Let's go.
00:03:05A little bit more like Prince.
00:03:07Elaine and I are going to work hard on everything for this foxtrot.
00:03:09The technique, the footwork.
00:03:11Elaine's been getting a lot of notes about her shoulders being up in a frame.
00:03:14Boom.
00:03:14Yeah, shoulders on.
00:03:15And that's from her pre-existing injuries.
00:03:18So if we raise Elaine's chest, hopefully that puts the shoulders down.
00:03:22Add strong arms.
00:03:23Connect them to your back.
00:03:25This performance has to be worthy of Prince.
00:03:28And that is no easy task.
00:03:30I have to float and fight at the same time.
00:03:34Nice.
00:03:34Because this is our chance to really bring those scores up and to show exactly what we can do.
00:03:40Good job.
00:03:41That's a semi-finalist.
00:03:44Dancing the foxtrot.
00:03:45With her partner, Alan Burstyn, it's Elaine Hendricks.
00:03:48I ain't got no money.
00:04:00I ain't got no money.
00:04:02I ain't got those all my cards you ain't right.
00:04:06It's kind of funny.
00:04:08But they always seem to let you down.
00:04:13And I need your love, babe.
00:04:16And that's all I'm living for.
00:04:21Yeah.
00:04:23I'm gonna put a pressure on you, baby.
00:04:26But all I ever wanted to do, I wanna be your lover.
00:04:34I wanna be the only one that makes you come from me.
00:04:39I wanna be your lover.
00:04:42I'm gonna turn you up, turn you out.
00:04:45All my love, make you shout.
00:04:47I love her.
00:04:51I wanna be the only one you come from.
00:04:55Yeah.
00:04:56Oh, Alan and Elaine with a foxtrot, too.
00:05:04I wanna be your lover.
00:05:09Oh, everybody's loving that one.
00:05:12So good.
00:05:16I think you're pretty happy about that.
00:05:21All right.
00:05:22All right, let's hear what the judges have to say.
00:05:24Carrie Ann, you're up.
00:05:26Okay, well, Elaine, welcome to the semifinals.
00:05:28You deserve this spot so much.
00:05:31That was a...
00:05:33Feel this audience there going wild for you.
00:05:35You are sophisticated, smooth, strong.
00:05:38It's solid, okay?
00:05:41But tonight we are looking to see who's gonna make it to the finale, right?
00:05:45So I'm just...
00:05:46Nothing was wrong with the dance.
00:05:48I just wanna say, I would still love this, you just push a little.
00:05:50Like, I wanna see the edges a little bit more.
00:05:52Like, just push to the edge.
00:05:53I feel like you make it look so easy.
00:05:56I wanna feel like, baby, it's not that easy for y'all.
00:05:59That makes sense.
00:05:59Okay, all right.
00:06:00I know, it's a challenge.
00:06:01Derek, Derek.
00:06:04Elaine, you're lovely.
00:06:05That was beautiful.
00:06:06Truly incredible foxtrot.
00:06:08The way you articulate those feet to get that beautiful rise and fall with that control,
00:06:14that is not easy.
00:06:15I appreciate that.
00:06:16I love that.
00:06:17However, I will echo Carrie-Anne's statement a little bit.
00:06:18Tonight is the semifinal.
00:06:19Tonight is about fighting to get into the final.
00:06:21Who is gonna make it into there?
00:06:22So for this next...
00:06:23This is your first dance for tonight.
00:06:24So that second dance, we want to see a little bit more fight, all right?
00:06:27But that was a beautiful, fantastic...
00:06:29All right, Bruno, my darling, radiant as ever, and you are very, very flirty tonight as well,
00:06:36and says, where are you, she was all going, you know, with Alan, I'm gonna give it, maybe
00:06:42not.
00:06:43Wow.
00:06:44You have to make up your mind.
00:06:45It's starting early.
00:06:46No, but I love...
00:06:47Listen.
00:06:48Dancing is like acting.
00:06:49It's character-driven, and you always know exactly, as I said before, how to sell it.
00:06:53Semi-finals, we have to push it a bit harder, they're right, but you are a great performer.
00:06:57Absolutely.
00:06:58All right.
00:06:59You two, head on up to the skybox.
00:07:00Fantastic.
00:07:01One of the stars who earned a perfect score last week is on the way.
00:07:06Alex Earl and Val Smirkovsky have an Argentine tango to Little Red Corvette, and you'll
00:07:11see it in just minutes.
00:07:13Julianne.
00:07:14Thanks, Alfonso.
00:07:15Elaine and Alan.
00:07:16First of all, you gorgeous angel.
00:07:19Well done.
00:07:20What is it like, I know you're such a big Prince fan, you grew up with him, what is it like
00:07:24being here tonight, dancing to that music?
00:07:26It is such an honor.
00:07:27I am so grateful.
00:07:28I'm grateful to everyone who has voted for us.
00:07:30I'm grateful to the cast and the crew and everything.
00:07:32This is an incredible experience.
00:07:34All right.
00:07:35You know what?
00:07:36Let's just get right to it.
00:07:37Let's get your scores.
00:07:38Yeah, please.
00:07:39Carianne Inabe.
00:07:40Nine.
00:07:41Derek Hutz.
00:07:42Nine.
00:07:43Bruno Toniovi.
00:07:44Nine.
00:07:45All right.
00:07:4627 out of 30 for Elaine and Alan so far.
00:07:49How are you feeling after those scores?
00:07:50Are you excited for the next round?
00:07:51Can't wait.
00:07:52We're bringing the fight.
00:07:53That's right.
00:07:54Okay.
00:07:55That's what it's all about.
00:07:56Two dances.
00:07:57They'll earn more points from the judges for their second dance, but you can vote for them
00:08:00right now to dance in next week's season finale.
00:08:01We're coming right back.
00:08:02Live.
00:08:03Welcome back to Prince Night Live.
00:08:04Welcome back to Prince Night Live.
00:08:05We're coming back to Prince Night Live.
00:08:06We're coming back.
00:08:07We're coming back to Prince Night Live.
00:08:10We're coming back to Prince Night Live.
00:08:17Next up, the star who earned her first perfect score of the season performs an Argentine Tango
00:08:29to Prince's first U.S. Top 10 hit, Little Red Corvette.
00:08:34It's social media personality Alex Earl and Val Swarkovski.
00:08:38Yes, Len, I know.
00:08:43This is how you do it.
00:08:45It's a 10.
00:08:49Perfect score is not getting to my head because it is the semifinal, so now it's go time.
00:08:56We freaking did it.
00:08:58We made it.
00:08:59So cool.
00:09:00I can't believe we're here.
00:09:01You've put in the work.
00:09:03That means a lot.
00:09:04It's Prince Night.
00:09:05We're doing the Argentine Tango to Little Red Corvette.
00:09:08Woo.
00:09:09He was always very authentically himself and a great performer, and I want to channel that.
00:09:14We got two dances.
00:09:15Yep.
00:09:16We get to show your versatility.
00:09:17I just want to unlock a different version of what I ever thought I was capable of.
00:09:22I'm ready to get to work.
00:09:23Let's go.
00:09:24Three, five.
00:09:25That was my bad.
00:09:26The Argentine Tango lives and breathes passion.
00:09:29Can you hold me?
00:09:30Can you hold me?
00:09:31Can you hold me?
00:09:32Can you touch me?
00:09:33This part of the competition is just how much discomfort and pain can you take?
00:09:42This song demands intensity and so does the Argentine Tango, so I'm expecting and welcoming
00:09:47a lot of hurt and pain.
00:09:49Turn.
00:09:50Ow!
00:09:51You okay?
00:09:52Is that going toe so bad?
00:09:53There have been some amazing Argentine tangos this season, so we need to make sure that
00:09:58ours is every bit as memorable if we want a spot in the finale.
00:10:03Dancing the Argentine tango with her partner Val Jmerkovski, it's Alex Earl.
00:10:10I guess I should have known by the way you parked your car sideways but it wouldn't last.
00:10:28You're the kind of person who believes and beggin' out once.
00:10:32Love them and leave them fast.
00:10:35I guess I must be dumb to a pocket full of horses.
00:10:40Trojans on the cruise.
00:10:43But if it's Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right.
00:10:47And you say, what have I got to lose?
00:10:50Honey, I say, you better go a bit.
00:10:55Baby, you're much too bad.
00:10:58I'm a little red Corvette.
00:11:02You're really loving, you're gonna lie.
00:11:07A little red Corvette.
00:11:10Baby, you got the slowdowns.
00:11:14A little red Corvette.
00:11:17Cause if you're done, cause if you're done,
00:11:20you're gonna burn your pain until you burn.
00:11:24Yes!
00:11:27Alex and Val with an Argentine tango.
00:11:31And that song is not about a car.
00:11:33That's right.
00:11:35Oh, that was hot.
00:11:38That was hot.
00:11:40And love the red to boot.
00:11:42All right, Derek, take it away.
00:11:43Okay.
00:11:44I didn't, I didn't like it.
00:11:48I loved it.
00:11:50I always wanted to do that.
00:11:54No, truly, you know, listen, Alex, I really think that you have the potential to go all the way in this competition.
00:12:00All the way to the end.
00:12:01Your improvement has been fantastic, beautiful lines.
00:12:05Well done.
00:12:06Gorgeous.
00:12:07All right.
00:12:08Bruno.
00:12:09Excuse me, the red goddess.
00:12:12I agree.
00:12:13The shapes, the lines, the body work, top notch.
00:12:18Now, semi-finals.
00:12:21There was a little sequence on ganchos that could have been a little bit sharper.
00:12:27I could saw it in your face, actually, when you missed it.
00:12:31And you know, I am honest, but I have to say, my darling, you are the most improved.
00:12:36You're like a gem that gets brighter and brighter and brighter.
00:12:39All right.
00:12:40You know.
00:12:41Carrie Ann.
00:12:42I agree.
00:12:43Out of all the competitors who are here tonight, you have grown the most steadily in all aspects of your performance.
00:12:52You're really blossoming.
00:12:54In this dance, it was fantastic, but your shoulders came up and it looked like you were gripping onto the dance as opposed to being in control of the dance.
00:13:02So take a deep breath for the next one.
00:13:03Come back stronger.
00:13:05All right.
00:13:06You know you got it.
00:13:07Head on up to the Skybox YouTube.
00:13:08And let's have a hand for the insanely talented artists who are doing the songs of Prince Proud.
00:13:14Our band, our singers, and the man who worked with Prince on one of his most spectacular TV performances, our music director.
00:13:21It's Ray 2 Live.
00:13:24Where is your raspberry ray, Ray?
00:13:27Okay, you're good.
00:13:29Julie Gann.
00:13:30Thanks, Alfonso.
00:13:32Okay.
00:13:33What does it feel like to hear from both Bruno and Carrie Ann that you are one of the most improved?
00:13:38I mean, that means so much.
00:13:39Honestly, I have the best partner who has been pushing me so, so much, even up until right before the show.
00:13:46And even like the feedback, I appreciate it so much because I want to stay in the competition.
00:13:51I want to keep working to get better.
00:13:53And that's just been our motto every week.
00:13:55Amazing.
00:13:56Well, let's get your scores.
00:13:58Carrie Ann Inabe.
00:13:59Nine.
00:14:00Derek Huff.
00:14:01Ten.
00:14:02Bruno Tongyo.
00:14:03Nine.
00:14:04Twenty-eight out of thirty for Alex and Bao.
00:14:05So far, they've got another chance to see more paddles from the judges for their second dance.
00:14:10But, of course, you don't have to wait to give them your votes.
00:14:11You get ten of them per couple, per voting method.
00:14:12Alfonso.
00:14:13All right.
00:14:14Thanks, Julianne.
00:14:15More dancing to the music of Prince is on the way from our semi-finalists.
00:14:17Whitney Levitt and Mark Ballas will cha-cha to 1999 when we come back live.
00:14:33Welcome back.
00:14:44Our semi-finalists are dancing through the remarkable catalog of Prince.
00:14:49Next up, the star who earned her first perfect score of the season and tied for the top of
00:14:55last week's leaderboard.
00:14:56For her first dance, she'll perform a cha-cha to the title track from Prince's first top
00:15:0110 album, 1999, from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
00:15:05Here's Whitney Levitt and her partner, Mark Ballas.
00:15:13The way you stuck that foot.
00:15:14Thank you, girl.
00:15:15You were sticking that landing and you nailed it!
00:15:21That Argentine tango will stick with me forever.
00:15:24And now, we have made it to the semi-finals.
00:15:26Like, I just, I can't believe it.
00:15:29Semi-finals.
00:15:30Oh my god!
00:15:31I didn't think that I'd make it this far.
00:15:33What a cool night, Prince Night.
00:15:35And we're dancing to 1999.
00:15:37Prince was such a standout.
00:15:39And he dances amazing.
00:15:40Oh my god, yeah.
00:15:41It was eccentric.
00:15:42It was loud.
00:15:43It was exciting.
00:15:44It was high energy.
00:15:45And we're gonna bring that into this dance.
00:15:47It's a really important dance, but we gotta have fun at the same time.
00:15:50So let's party like it's 1999.
00:15:52Hell yeah.
00:15:53Alright.
00:15:55Don't know bounce.
00:15:56Look, the cha-cha's meant to be fun, sassy, sexy, wild, but you have to be in control.
00:16:01Nope.
00:16:02Of the movement.
00:16:03So it's a difficult dance to do at a high level.
00:16:05Getting tired already?
00:16:06No.
00:16:07Look, when Prince performs, he makes it look so easy, so effortless, so cool.
00:16:11You hate it.
00:16:12I hate that.
00:16:13But it's hard for me to not be so stiff.
00:16:15I know, but like the arms.
00:16:17Every single person in this competition is working so hard, and I'm feeling it more than
00:16:22ever that everyone is just stepping it up.
00:16:24So this dance has to be perfect.
00:16:27Wow, look at that.
00:16:33Dancing the cha-cha with her partner Mark Ballas, it's Whitney Levitt.
00:16:37I was dreaming while I wrote this, so sue me if I go too fast.
00:16:56Life is just a party, and party's what it meant to last.
00:17:00If you didn't come to party, don't bother knocking on my door.
00:17:07I've been lying in my pocket, and baby, he's ready to go.
00:17:16Yeah, they say.
00:17:191-0-0-0 party over, it's out of time.
00:17:28So tonight will the party like it's 1990.
00:17:32Oh, Whitney and Mark partying with their cha-cha to 1999.
00:17:47Oh, the entire ballroom is on their feet.
00:17:52Oh, yeah.
00:17:54Come on, you two.
00:17:56Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:17:57Oh, we're partying tonight.
00:17:59Oh, come on now.
00:18:00Okay.
00:18:01Oh, the entire ballroom is on their feet.
00:18:04Oh, yeah.
00:18:08Come on, you two.
00:18:09Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:18:10Oh, the party in the night.
00:18:12Oh, come on now.
00:18:15Okay.
00:18:16Bruno, take away.
00:18:17Well, dance with the stars.
00:18:19The best party in America, and you throw it.
00:18:21With that saucy stunner of a cha-cha-cha.
00:18:26Jokes apart, the content.
00:18:29Let me start there.
00:18:30Everything that you wanted from a cha-cha-cha was there.
00:18:33The execution, the precision, the placement,
00:18:38the level of difficulty, incredible.
00:18:41And you did it stunningly well.
00:18:45All right, carry in.
00:18:46Good job.
00:18:48Once again, a wonderful dance.
00:18:50I'm going to say this is what stood out to me.
00:18:53At times, I felt that the technique,
00:18:56I could see you focusing on the technique.
00:18:58And normally, that doesn't happen when you perform.
00:19:00It almost kind of hindered it,
00:19:02because you're such an amazing performer.
00:19:03So, for me, the technique should disappear into a great dance.
00:19:07And I could see you focusing on the technique,
00:19:08but it was still well-delivered and a wonderful cha-cha.
00:19:11Thank you, Carrie.
00:19:11Okay.
00:19:12All right.
00:19:13Derek.
00:19:13Carrie-Ann, you are out of your mind.
00:19:19That was literal perfection for a cha-cha.
00:19:26By the way, cha-cha in a semifinal is, like, really risky.
00:19:30Honestly, it's like, ugh.
00:19:31Is that hard?
00:19:31And it started off, and it got better and better and better.
00:19:35The precision, the technique, the performance.
00:19:39That was awesome.
00:19:40You know what?
00:19:41Woo!
00:19:42Yeah, it was.
00:19:43Head on up to the skybox.
00:19:45Dylan Efron and Daniela Ketegotz are getting ready
00:19:48for their first dance of the night,
00:19:49and you can see them live right now on TikTok
00:19:52at official DWTS.
00:19:54Emma and Jan are in charge of the behind-the-scenes action tonight.
00:19:58Julianne.
00:19:58Thanks, Alfonso.
00:20:00All right.
00:20:01Whitney.
00:20:02I love this one.
00:20:03Hi, girl.
00:20:04All right.
00:20:05We're just going to, like, talk about the elephant in the room.
00:20:08You said on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
00:20:10that the only reason why you wanted to do the show
00:20:12was so that you could do this show.
00:20:14Yeah.
00:20:14Why do you want to be here so much?
00:20:16You know what?
00:20:17After two seasons of doing The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,
00:20:20I wanted to take a break.
00:20:21But once I found out that this would be an opportunity
00:20:24for all of the girls to be able to go after this,
00:20:27I wanted to take that chance.
00:20:29I will forever be so grateful for Dina Katt
00:20:31because this has changed my life,
00:20:34and I'm just having the time of my life,
00:20:36and I couldn't be more grateful.
00:20:38Oh, we're happy you're here.
00:20:40Let's get your scores right after this.
00:20:54Welcome back.
00:20:55Before the break, Whitney and Mark
00:20:56performed a cha-cha to 1999
00:20:58that Derek said was literal perfection.
00:21:02Let's get their scores.
00:21:05Carrie-Anne Inabe.
00:21:07Nine.
00:21:08Derek Hutz.
00:21:10Ten.
00:21:11Bruno Tomio.
00:21:13It's a ten.
00:21:1529 out of 30 for Whitney and Mark
00:21:17for their first dance tonight.
00:21:20Like all of our couples,
00:21:21they are working hard to get into next week's season finale
00:21:23and compete for our Len Goodman Maribald trophy.
00:21:27Give them some help with your votes.
00:21:28Voting closes shortly after the final competitive dance
00:21:31of the night.
00:21:31Alphonse.
00:21:32All right, thanks, Julianne.
00:21:33And Carrie-Anne's going to need security
00:21:35when she get up out of here.
00:21:37Yes, she will.
00:21:38All right, next up,
00:21:39our reality TV star and content creator
00:21:41dances a tango to a top ten hit
00:21:44from Prince's 1994 album, Purple Rain.
00:21:48It's Dylan Efron and his partner,
00:21:49Daniela Kanagach.
00:21:51That was your breakthrough moment
00:22:00by a long shot.
00:22:02It's a ten!
00:22:05Perfect 10s is just a moment I'll never forget.
00:22:08The winner of the relay dance is Dylan and Ruma.
00:22:12We're finally hitting our stride,
00:22:14and it's something to build off
00:22:15for these final two weeks.
00:22:16If you told me we would have made
00:22:20the semifinals week one,
00:22:21I would have been like,
00:22:22cool, but how?
00:22:23I'm a slow learner,
00:22:24but we've really worked hard to get here.
00:22:27Exactly.
00:22:28Okay.
00:22:28It's Prince night.
00:22:29There's no other Prince.
00:22:31I love that.
00:22:31And he's just authentically himself.
00:22:33Every night, he's a natural performer,
00:22:35and I think that's why he's still a legend today.
00:22:37Right.
00:22:38I think we can channel that this week
00:22:39like it is the finale.
00:22:40Like, let's give it everything we've got.
00:22:42To the finale we got.
00:22:43Check.
00:22:44Nice.
00:22:45The tango is very much upright,
00:22:48strong in the legs.
00:22:50Don't stick your butt out.
00:22:51And Dylan's biggest challenge
00:22:52is to keep his butt in.
00:22:54That is one of the biggest comments we get.
00:22:56Tuck that booty under.
00:22:57Watch out for your bum.
00:22:58She's right about that.
00:23:00Butt tucked in.
00:23:00Oh.
00:23:01Prince is tough.
00:23:02This is my last ballroom-style dance
00:23:04before the finale.
00:23:05The elbow's strong.
00:23:06And this is my chance
00:23:07to prove to the judges
00:23:08that I've been listening.
00:23:10This is the semis,
00:23:11so I've got to go out there
00:23:13and surpass what I did last week.
00:23:14I'm getting closer.
00:23:15Let's do it, yeah.
00:23:18Dancing the tango
00:23:19with his partner Daniela Karagocz,
00:23:22it's Dylan Efron.
00:23:23I'm not a woman.
00:23:35I'm not a man.
00:23:37I am something that you'll never understand.
00:23:40I'll never be too rude.
00:23:42I'll never lie.
00:23:43And if you're evil,
00:23:45I'll forgive you.
00:23:46I'm not a man.
00:23:47I'm not a man.
00:23:48I'm not a man.
00:23:48I'm a man.
00:23:49I'm a man.
00:24:14You really need to know that you believe
00:24:17I want to die for you
00:24:20I want to die for you
00:24:28Dylan and Daniella with a tango, that's to die for!
00:24:42Oh, so good, dude!
00:24:44Yeah!
00:24:45Good job!
00:24:46Great job, dude!
00:24:48Alright, Kerri-Ann, you're up first!
00:24:51Dylan, impressive, very smooth, debonair, still leading, in control
00:24:55There's a little bit of a mess up with the footwork
00:24:59But listen, hold your booze!
00:25:03The real issue to me, though, in this was you gotta feel this music
00:25:06This is Prince
00:25:07I don't feel that you are always feeling the music
00:25:09There are moments when you caught it, when Daniella hit it really hard
00:25:12And you came back into feeling the depth of the music
00:25:14I need that the whole night, okay?
00:25:15We have one more dance, come on back with that
00:25:17Alright, alright, Derrick, back with that
00:25:19Dylan, my guy!
00:25:21Dude, you are over here, you went
00:25:22Surprise!
00:25:23Yeah!
00:25:24Your arm, your frame, man, the strong frame
00:25:28Dude, it has been so fantastic to see your improvement
00:25:31It's so extraordinary, truly
00:25:33I was walking over there, your brother was like, okay!
00:25:36Okay!
00:25:37I will just say one tiny little thing, though, just in the spirit of Len, actually
00:25:41That in tango, it's all heel leads
00:25:43Yes
00:25:44All heel leads, and there was a lot of, you know, not heel leads in there
00:25:47So, um, but overall, my man, that was fantastic
00:25:50Great job, great job
00:25:51Bruno, don't worry, your bum is beautifully under control
00:25:56And you were clean, clear, sharp
00:26:00I think leading man running the family here, I don't know
00:26:04I'm getting a buzz in the room
00:26:06But I have to say again, you've very, very much improved
00:26:09And I actually did feel it, because he was intense
00:26:12But not in an arrogant way
00:26:14No
00:26:15In a very firm and assertive way
00:26:18Okay
00:26:19I like it
00:26:20We're gonna send you guys up to the skybox
00:26:22You don't have to watch that anymore
00:26:24Alright
00:26:25Now, Derrick
00:26:27Congratulations on the new show you're taking across North America
00:26:32Oh, yes
00:26:33Oh, my gosh

00:26:52Julianne, take it away
00:26:53Thanks, Alfonto
00:26:54Alright, Dylan
00:26:55How has it been dancing to Prince songs all week?
00:26:57I love them
00:26:58I think these songs are making my playlist, actually
00:27:00Like, these two are great
00:27:01They're so good
00:27:02But, now, last week
00:27:03You, like, had a full, massive breakthrough
00:27:06Your dance actually, like, those moves went viral
00:27:09People all over the internet are doing the, like, air walk lift
00:27:13In fact, can we just cut to your husband Pasha doing this moment with little Nikita?
00:27:20Come on
00:27:25Honestly, we've got more to come
00:27:27You might go viral again
00:27:28Let's just say
00:27:29Let's get your scores
00:27:30Carrie-Anne Inaba
00:27:33Nine
00:27:34Derek Hutz
00:27:36Nine
00:27:37Bruno Tomioni
00:27:39Nine
00:27:4027 out of 30 for Dylan and Daniela
00:27:44So far, how do you feel about that?
00:27:45So happy
00:27:46So happy
00:27:47We're in it
00:27:48Love it
00:27:49Well, more judges scores from them are coming up
00:27:51You can vote for them and all of our stars right now
00:27:53Alfonso
00:27:54All right
00:27:55Thanks, Julianne
00:27:56More semifinalists dancing to the music of Prince are on the way
00:27:59Jordan Childs and Ezra Sosa will dive to another one of his top ten hits next
00:28:05Live
00:28:24Oh, what an amazing performer Prince was! Give it up for our troupe, Hayley Jackson Carter and Anya dancing to a clip of musicology from the Prince Vault
00:28:49Now people have been sharing those moves on social media and we want you to post your take using hashtag GWTSprincechallenge, alright?
00:28:58Alright, well next up our Olympic gold medalist performs a jive to Raspberry Beret from the 1985 Prince and the Revolution album Around the World in a Day
00:29:08It's Jordan Child and her partner Ezra Sosa
00:29:12I love the texture in the body and I saw that
00:29:18Give it to me, let's go
00:29:19We did that
00:29:22We did it
00:29:23Making the semifinals is literally like making the Olympic trials
00:29:26The winner of the relay dance is Jordan and Apollo
00:29:30I'm honestly so proud and now the competitor in me is definitely coming out
00:29:35We made it to the semifinals
00:29:37Dude
00:29:38Your second season on Dancing with the Stars and you're in the semifinals
00:29:41Girl, I don't think it's clocking to me
00:29:43Viva
00:29:44It's Prince tonight
00:29:45My junior season at UCLA
00:29:47I did a Prince routine
00:29:49Girl
00:29:50And I did get a couple tens off of it
00:29:57But I have never had a perfect score as a gymnast, so I'm waiting
00:30:01Dancing with the Stars, UCLA, which one's gonna be?
00:30:04This should be in place
00:30:05The hardest thing to teach someone in the jive is stamina
00:30:08And luckily my girl has got that down
00:30:10Apparently I don't smile at them
00:30:12The way that Prince moves and grabs a piece of your heart is exquisite
00:30:16So the judges are gonna expect the biggest thing that has been throughout the whole season
00:30:21The emotion
00:30:22Three, four
00:30:23It's not my fault I know how to pop a split
00:30:27There have been so many incredible jives this season
00:30:30So I'm gonna have to bring everything I got to make sure we finally get our perfect scores
00:30:34There's a Prince vibe
00:30:37Dancing the jive with her partner Ezra Sosa, it's Jordan Childs
00:30:44Jordan Childs
00:30:45One, two, one, two, three, oh
00:30:50I was working part time and I'm five and dine
00:31:05My boss was Mr. Nicky
00:31:08He told me several times that he didn't like the kind
00:31:11Cause I was a bit too leisurely
00:31:14It seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
00:31:17But different than the day before
00:31:20That's when I saw her
00:31:22Oh, I saw her
00:31:23She was dead through the outdoor, outdoor
00:31:26She wore a raspberry beret
00:31:29The kind to find in the second hand store
00:31:33Raspberry beret
00:31:35I think I love her
00:31:45She wore a raspberry beret
00:31:47The kind to find in the second hand store
00:31:51Raspberry beret
00:31:53I think I love her
00:32:03Jordan and Ezra!
00:32:07Yes!
00:32:09And to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Around the World in a Day
00:32:13The Remastered Deluxe Expanded Edition will be released this Friday
00:32:18So good!
00:32:19Alright, Derek, take it away!
00:32:21Jordan, that jive had that pure prince funky fun
00:32:25It was fresh
00:32:26It was so fantastic
00:32:27Well done!
00:32:28Really good!
00:32:29For me, I feel like for a jive
00:32:31I wanted a little bit more attack
00:32:32A little bit more sharpness
00:32:33A little more bite in the movement
00:32:34But overall, I love like the highlight over there
00:32:36It was fantastic
00:32:37You always bring that
00:32:38You always bring that
00:32:39Well done!
00:32:40Alright, Bruno!
00:32:41High energy fun!
00:32:43And it was so fast though
00:32:45That you lost a little bit of time
00:32:48You know, at that corner there
00:32:50Because up till now
00:32:51Up till then
00:32:52I was counting
00:32:53Listen, this is the semi-finals
00:32:55She admitted it
00:32:56No really!
00:32:57You were right on it
00:32:58But obviously, to keep up the pace
00:33:00Things happen
00:33:01But otherwise, it was brilliant
00:33:03There you go!
00:33:04Absolutely, absolutely!
00:33:05Carry in!
00:33:06For me, for me, for me
00:33:08This was the best performance so far tonight
00:33:10I love the energy
00:33:11No, I thought
00:33:12Just super sharp
00:33:13Super strong
00:33:14But there was the mess up
00:33:15I saw it too, Bruno
00:33:16Yeah, so then
00:33:17And, oh yeah
00:33:18So, sorry, what can I say?
00:33:19I would love to give it a score
00:33:21But there was a mess up
00:33:22And it was a frustrating night
00:33:23And don't be booing me anymore!
00:33:26That's her language
00:33:27Head on up for the skybox
00:33:29Next week, we're taking over
00:33:32All of ABC in prime time
00:33:34With our most demanding season finale
00:33:36In the history of the show

00:33:39We'll have three rounds of competition
00:33:42Including the instant dances
00:33:44And the make or break freestyles
00:33:46Julianne

00:33:48With all the incredible talent
00:33:49That we've seen this season
00:33:50You don't want to miss it
00:33:51But we're right here with you right now
00:33:54I want to know
00:33:55You already did a gymnastics floor routine to Prince
00:33:57How does it feel to do
00:33:58Another Prince song tonight?
00:34:00Honestly, it's been
00:34:01Such a remarkable experience
00:34:02I'm very honored to do
00:34:03Prince tonight
00:34:04Like you said
00:34:05I did do it for my junior season
00:34:07But you know what?
00:34:08It's always a fun vibe
00:34:09And it's always, you know
00:34:10Really magical
00:34:11Just be able to fill his art
00:34:12And that's what I really wanted to do today
00:34:14Well also
00:34:15I think the judges are going pretty hard
00:34:17The judges are going pretty hard
00:34:18Because it's the semi-finals
00:34:19What does that feel like
00:34:20To get that kind of feedback?
00:34:21Not just you
00:34:22But for everybody here tonight
00:34:24Honestly, it feels amazing

00:35:51Yes!
00:35:52Yes!
00:35:53First perfect score of the season
00:35:55To a dance dedicated to my dad
00:35:57Was so incredibly meaningful
00:35:59And we managed to win
00:36:01The relay dance
00:36:02But now
00:36:03The race is on
00:36:04Oh!
00:36:05First perfect score of the season
00:36:07Are you kidding?
00:36:08I have one word for that
00:36:10Crikey
00:36:11Crikey
00:36:12Okay it's Prince night
00:36:14And we are dancing a jive
00:36:16To baby I'm a star
00:36:17Do you know that song
00:36:18Or are you too young?
00:36:19I know I'm young
00:36:20But I love Prince
00:36:21He was just the most passionate
00:36:23Enthusiastic
00:36:24Unifying character
00:36:26Like I relate to that a lot
00:36:27We've got to make it special
00:36:28And memorable
00:36:29The fact that we won
00:36:30A jive relay
00:36:32Last week
00:36:33The judges have a direct comparison
00:36:35And it will be better
00:36:36So
00:36:37Don't you worry about that
00:36:38I've got so much energy
00:36:39Because this is a jive
00:36:40In this jive
00:36:41We are going to have to
00:36:42Amplify his technique
00:36:43And put a little bit more
00:36:44Kicks and flicks
00:36:45A little bit more content
00:36:46In there
00:36:47Oh!
00:36:48So people can really realize
00:36:49How far Robert has come
00:36:50Oh!
00:36:51It's the semi-finals
00:36:52So the expectations are there
00:36:54And the pressure is on
00:36:55Ah!
00:36:56Sorry
00:36:57We are just going
00:36:58Again and again and again
00:36:59Drilling it down to the bone
00:37:00Ball change
00:37:01Oh!
00:37:02I didn't even know
00:37:03That was a thing
00:37:04Because our only option
00:37:05Is perfection
00:37:06Oh!
00:37:09Dancing the jive
00:37:11With his partner
00:37:12Whitney Carson
00:37:13It's Robert Irwin
00:37:16One, two, three, four

00:38:40Come on up here!
00:38:41Bruno, take it away!
00:38:42You see, for Prince, only a superstar jive would do!
00:38:45You did that!
00:38:46I mean, so pumped up, so energized, and at the same time in control!
00:38:50All that energy could power the country!
00:38:52All that energy could power the country!
00:38:54You did that!
00:38:55I mean, so pumped up, so energized, and at the same time in control!
00:39:00All that energy could power the country!
00:39:04To be honest!
00:39:06And you never put a foot wrong!
00:39:09The choreography!
00:39:10Splendid!
00:39:11Superstar jive!
00:39:12Absolutely!
00:39:13All right, carry on!
00:39:14That is how you tell everyone you demand to be in the finale!
00:39:22When you dance like that!
00:39:24That was insane!
00:39:25Thank you!
00:39:26That was insane!
00:39:27So clean, so sharp, so buoyant, so fun, so amazing!
00:39:30You are, you are just freaking amazing!
00:39:32Oh, I love you!
00:39:33Amazing!
00:39:34Amazing!
00:39:35Amazing!
00:39:36Amazing!
00:39:37All right, Darren!
00:39:38Robert!
00:39:39Listen, that's a great example of the way, like, when you dance, you dance with your full
00:39:41body, your full charisma.
00:39:42It's like, you're not, like, hitting the steps.
00:39:43You're like, pop!
00:39:44Pop!
00:39:45Pop!
00:39:46Pop!
00:39:47And the slow moment, the flip over, that jive had it all!
00:39:51The sugar push!
00:39:52I mean, the kick the push!
00:39:53Yeah, the sugar push!
00:39:54I could go on and on and on!
00:39:55My God!

00:39:57Well done!
00:39:58I love it when people know the names of the boobs!
00:40:00All right, head on up to the skybox!
00:40:02The star who earned 27 for her Foxtrot is on the way!
00:40:06Elaine and Alan will dance to another Prince classic in just a minute!
00:40:10Julianne!
00:40:11Thanks, Alfonso!
00:40:12All right, Whitney!
00:40:14Robert!
00:40:15Or should I call you the jive guy?
00:40:17I'm not sure!
00:40:18Um, honestly, between you doing the jive last week and winning the relay dance with Sochi
00:40:24and coming in, like, were you feeling pressure or confidence?
00:40:27Oh, a bit of both, you know, a little bit of both, and I've never sweat so much in my entire
00:40:32life, but it's a credit to Whitney.
00:40:34I mean, we're, we're pushing, we're working, and to bring joy into this room feels like this
00:40:42is what I live for.
00:40:43I know, I'm so proud of Robert.
00:40:45Honestly, like, I feel like I've been given a gift with him as my partner, and I just
00:40:51really appreciate everything that you've done.
00:40:53I love you.
00:40:54Love you.
00:40:55All right, well, let's get the judges have a gift for y'all.
00:40:58Let's get your scores.
00:41:00Two.
00:41:01Take note for number three.
00:41:02Personal winner of the song.
00:41:03Who's missing a writer of the song?
00:41:04That's a ten!
00:41:05You're done.
00:41:06One.
00:41:07There's a ten.
00:41:08One.
00:41:09One.
00:41:10One.
00:41:11One.
00:41:12One, two.
00:41:13One, three.
00:41:14Uh, two, three.
00:41:15One.
00:41:16Three.
00:41:17One.
00:41:18One, two.
00:41:19I am over the moon. This means the world. This is changing my whole life, and I'm so grateful.
00:41:26All right, well, you can vote for them right now with your text and online at abc.com.
00:41:31Voting closes shortly after the final competitive dance.
00:41:34All of the scores for the first dances are in, so let's take a look at the leaderboard.
00:41:39Currently at the top are Robert and Whitney with 30.
00:41:43And currently at the bottom are Dylan and Daniela, Elaine and Alan, and Jordan and Ezra with 27, a three-way tie.
00:41:54The scores and possibly the standings will change with these next dances. Alfonso.
00:42:00All right, thanks, Julianne. Let's continue the semifinals with a pasa doble to the first number one single for Prince and the Revolution, When Doves Cry.
00:42:09All right, here's how Elaine and Alan trained for their final dance to get into our season finale.
00:42:18This is our last dance. This is what gets us into the finals, and I want you to fight for your spot.
00:42:24Oh, I can do that.
00:42:26Being an actress can be so hard that I've just trained myself to just be willing, just keep going, and it's really paying off.
00:42:34Normally I play characters, and to let people see me has been really scary, but I'm so glad I did it.
00:42:43I truly didn't know what I would be capable of in this competition, but every week my body is showing up for me, and I'm really grateful for that.
00:42:53Let's do this for the younger Elaine that wanted to be a dancer.
00:42:58Let's do this. Let's do this. Are you ready?
00:43:00I am ready.
00:43:01I'm proud of you.
00:43:03Intense.
00:43:07Pasa doble is the dance of the matador and the cape in a bullfight.
00:43:11Boom. So close.
00:43:13This is the perfect dance for Elaine to show that power and resilience and determination that she's had all season.
00:43:19Sam, eight, stay back.
00:43:21We are in fight mode, so the most challenging thing about the Pasa doble is to have power while maintaining control.
00:43:29I've put my heart and soul out for the entire world to see every week.
00:43:35Do it again.
00:43:36So that's what I'm going to keep doing.
00:43:37It's fast.
00:43:38I'm having a hard time connecting that.
00:43:40It's okay.
00:43:40I'll get it.
00:43:41Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
00:43:43Last dance.
00:43:44Go!
00:43:45Last chance to make it in the finale, and I'm going to do just that.
00:43:49Okay.
00:43:50Proud of you.
00:43:51Let's just go for it.
00:43:55Dancing the Pasa doble with her partner Alan Burstyn, it's Elaine Hendricks.
00:44:21Can you, my darling, can you picture the animals strike curious poses?
00:44:31They feel the heat, the heat between me and you.
00:44:35You just need me standing.
00:44:36You know when the world is so cold, the world is so cold.
00:44:43Maybe just tune in.
00:44:43Maybe just to be, baby, baby, baby, now.
00:44:46Baby, but my mother, you know what I want you to do.
00:44:51Maybe just like my mother.
00:44:54She's never signed I've been signed I've been signed I'm a single free child
00:45:01This is what I sound like when Doug's Cry
00:45:14Oh, yeah!
00:45:17Elaine and Alan with a passadola to when Doug's Cry
00:45:21And everybody loved that one in the ballroom.
00:45:25Let's go.
00:45:27Yes.
00:45:29Take it in.
00:45:31Take it in.
00:45:33Take it in.
00:45:35Love it, love it, love it.
00:45:37Carrie Ann is coming this way.
00:45:39Come on, Carrie Ann.
00:45:41That was amazing.
00:45:43That was amazing.
00:45:45What was that?
00:45:47Was that amazing?
00:45:49I left it all on the floor.
00:45:51Yes.
00:45:57I'm leaving.
00:45:59You talk, I'll help her.
00:46:01I'm good, I got it.
00:46:03I'm not going to fall.
00:46:05That was amazing.
00:46:07I mean, it was a proper, beautiful pasta doble
00:46:09with all the beautiful oval shapes, the lines,
00:46:11but more impressively, you came with that fight.
00:46:13I saw you.
00:46:15I saw you, I can't stay in my seat.
00:46:17I feel like Bruno tonight.
00:46:19Yeah, come on. Go for it.
00:46:21But Elaine, that is what we're talking about.
00:46:25Truly, truly, that is exactly what we're talking about.
00:46:27You fought for that dance.
00:46:29It was powerful.
00:46:31You filled the room with your energy.
00:46:33So good.
00:46:35Look what you're doing to me.
00:46:37It just popped right open.
00:46:39It must transform into a regal bird of prey,
00:46:43commanding everything in its sight.
00:46:45But no, honestly,
00:46:47that really was an authentic pasta doble,
00:46:50as it should be done.
00:46:53It was a regal performance.
00:46:56Majestic.
00:46:57Yeah.
00:46:59So beautiful.
00:47:00Head on up to the skybox, you too.
00:47:01That's great.
00:47:02All right.

00:47:16Just give me a minute while I bow down to Elaine.
00:47:19Um, okay.
00:47:20You're feeling amazing.
00:47:21The judges said that was incredible.
00:47:22Going from the first round to this round,
00:47:24how are you feeling?
00:47:25Like I freakin' fought for it!
00:47:28Damn right.
00:47:29I don't think we need any more than let's just get your scores.
00:47:35Unfortunately, when we come back.
00:47:37No!
00:47:48Welcome back.
00:47:49Before the break,
00:47:50Elaine and Alan performed a pasta doble
00:47:52that Carrie-Anne said was amazing.
00:47:56Let's get their scores.
00:47:59Carrie-Anne Inabe.
00:48:01It's a 10!
00:48:04Derek Hux.
00:48:0510!
00:48:07Bruno Tonyomi.
00:48:0810!
00:48:10That is a 30 out of 30 for Elaine and Alan's pasta doble.
00:48:13Their total for both chances is 57.
00:48:17All right, Elaine,
00:48:18this is your first perfect score of the season.
00:48:21What do you want to say?
00:48:22Oh, my God.
00:48:23Thank you so much.
00:48:24Alan, I love you so much.
00:48:27We worked so hard for this,
00:48:28rehearsing over and over,
00:48:30and it was worth every second of it.
00:48:33All right.
00:48:34Well, they've done everything they could
00:48:36to get into next week's season finale,
00:48:39where we will present the Len Goodman Miller Ball Trophy
00:48:42to our new champion, Alfonso.
00:48:44All right.
00:48:45Thanks, Julianne.
00:48:46Love that, love that.
00:48:47Next up, the star who earned 28 for her Argentine tango.
00:48:51For her last dance to get into our season finale,
00:48:54she'll perform a Viennese waltz
00:48:56for the title track from Purple Rain.
00:48:58First, let's see Alex and Val in training.
00:49:01I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever,
00:49:06let alone one of Prince's best songs, Purple Rain.
00:49:10I'm so excited.
00:49:11It lends itself to a much more emotional performance.
00:49:14I've gotten so emotionally in tune with myself throughout this,
00:49:18and I don't want to cry.
00:49:22I am so excited getting to do this every day,
00:49:25and I'm going to be so upset when this is over.
00:49:29And I just...
00:49:34I've just learned so much about myself.
00:49:36It's given me a different work ethic,
00:49:38and I am more confident in being prepared to fail,
00:49:43and it's nothing I could have prepared myself for.
00:49:46I have, like, loved waking up every day
00:49:48to get to come in here and dance
00:49:50and learn more and challenge myself,
00:49:53and I forgot this isn't my everyday life.
00:49:56Let's really savor these dances.
00:49:59One, two...
00:50:01So this step.
00:50:02Yeah.
00:50:03The Viennese waltz is known for its left turns,
00:50:05right turns, pivots, fluid movement.
00:50:07Yeah.
00:50:08Your energy's here, it needs to go there.
00:50:10The challenging part is to then forget about it.
00:50:12And put your soul into it.
00:50:14Boom.
00:50:15Turn.
00:50:16Nice.
00:50:17I want to wear my heart on my sleeve for this,
00:50:19but I'm getting dizzy.
00:50:20So, you know, I have to make sure I'm spotting
00:50:22and figuring out where I'm going.
00:50:25Boom.
00:50:26There you go.
00:50:27Can I go lower?
00:50:28Um...
00:50:29Set.
00:50:30There's a lot of pressure to do Purple Rain justice
00:50:32and not let anyone down.
00:50:34It's hard to even put into words how much I've enjoyed this.
00:50:38I want to get to the finale
00:50:39and keep that dream going for another week.
00:50:45Dancing the Viennese waltz with her partner,
00:50:47Val Jmerkovski, it's Alex Earl.
00:50:50I was just gonna say,
00:50:52It's slow.
00:50:53What?
00:50:54Okay.
00:50:55I'll be right back.
00:50:56And now, I don't know what's going on.
00:50:58Go ahead.
00:50:59I'll be right back.
00:51:00Yeah.
00:51:01I'll be right back.
00:51:02I never meant to call you in your sorrow
00:51:06I never meant to call you in your pain
00:51:14I only wanted one time to see you laughing
00:51:25I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple
00:51:32Purple rain, purple rain
00:51:37Purple rain, purple rain
00:51:45Purple rain, purple rain
00:51:54I only want to see you laughing
00:52:02I never meant to see you laughing
00:52:07I never meant to see you laughing
00:52:09Alex inbound with a Viennese waltz to Prince's iconic Purple Rain
00:52:15An iconic dance to an iconic song
00:52:20So good, you two
00:52:21Derek
00:52:23Alex, let me bring your package
00:52:26You know, dance, it really transforms
00:52:28And we've seen you blossom into a beautiful, beautiful dancer
00:52:31Truly
00:52:32And I have no doubts that we're going to see you in those finals
00:52:36It was a powerful, passionate, and stunning Viennese waltz
00:52:41Beautiful, fantastic
00:52:46You delivered what I wanted
00:52:48The perfect combination of motion and emotion
00:52:52You were so connected
00:52:54And so into what was happening as a performer
00:52:58You felt the music
00:52:59You trusted him
00:53:01And together you gave us a fabulous
00:53:04Fabulous
00:53:05Fabulous
00:53:06Fabulous
00:53:07Carrie Ann
00:53:08This season has been by far the most challenging
00:53:14And the most competitive season we have ever seen in 34 seasons
00:53:18A performance like this is going to go down in history
00:53:23This is so powerful
00:53:25You have blossomed
00:53:26Because you are exactly what we always want
00:53:28We want somebody to grow
00:53:30You grow and then you deliver

00:54:02We saw you get emotional in the package
00:54:04Also listening to Carrie Ann's comments
00:54:06What does this competition and those comments mean to you?
00:54:09Um, I mean it means everything to me to hear that from the judges
00:54:13And like I said in the package
00:54:15This has just been like the best experience
00:54:17And every single day
00:54:18I wake up so happy to dance

00:54:50Good tears
00:54:51Thank you so much
00:54:52Thank you, I'm so proud of her
00:54:53I'm proud of everybody that puts in the work
00:54:55But she's my partner, so I'm most proud of her
00:54:58I love you guys
00:54:59Alright, well they don't want to rely on the judges' scores alone
00:55:01To get into the season finale
00:55:03They need votes from you
00:55:04Alfonso
00:55:05Thanks Julianne
00:55:06The competition is heating up
00:55:08Dylan and Daniela's cha-cha to Prince's number one worldwide hit
00:55:13Kiss is next
00:55:14Live
00:55:15Welcome back to the semi-finals
00:55:27Next up the star who earned 27 for his tango performs a cha-cha for the 1986 Prince and the Revolution hit Kiss
00:55:36Woo!
00:55:37Here are Dylan and Daniela training to get into our season finale with this all important dance
00:55:47So what's this whole experience been like for you so far?
00:55:50Week one it felt like I'm an imposter like at a talent show and I had no talent
00:55:54And then like last week I'm flipping you in the air twice and catching you like that's
00:55:58With a broken nose
00:55:59We did
00:56:00This show is much more than just learning to dance
00:56:02It's having the confidence to go out there and own a performance
00:56:06You won the show
00:56:07What's it gonna take for us to get to the finale?
00:56:09Everything you've already been doing
00:56:11If you come here and you work hard and you stay focused
00:56:15That is everything a champion does
00:56:18This was a marathon, not a sprint
00:56:20No
00:56:21And we're on the last leg
00:56:22We still have like another week left in us so don't give up yet
00:56:27We need to make it to the finale
00:56:29We got to
00:56:30Okay, let's do this
00:56:31Since week one, one of Dylan's biggest challenges was performance
00:56:35All right, restart, restart
00:56:36But now his confidence is higher
00:56:38So with the cha-cha, I am so excited for him to just take over this dance
00:56:43And get those hips rolling
00:56:44Oh my gosh
00:56:45I think the most demanding part in this dance is just the cardio
00:56:48So right now it's just a mental exhaustion of trying to keep the technique while having fun and being loose
00:56:55I've been close to succeeding on a few of these Latin style dances
00:56:58So frustrating
00:56:59But I haven't nailed one yet
00:57:00So I think this is a chance for me to showcase what I've learned throughout this last ten weeks
00:57:05That's insane!
00:57:06This whole experience has been a marathon
00:57:09And I've run a ton of marathons
00:57:11So now I can actually see that finish line
00:57:14It's time to sprint
00:57:15I'm going to do everything I can to make that finale
00:57:21Too much
00:57:23Dancing the cha-cha
00:57:26With his partner Daniela Karagoc
00:57:28It's Dylan Efron
00:57:29When I go down
00:57:30Let them out
00:58:45Yes!
00:58:47Dylan and Daniela with a cha-cha.
00:58:51Oh, there are a lot of people right now at home hitting pause so that they can kiss Dylan
00:58:58on their TV.
00:59:00Oh, it's happening.
00:59:02It's happening.
00:59:03All right, Bruno, take it away.
00:59:05I don't know what you're thinking at home.
00:59:07I am first in line.
00:59:09Uh, uh, uh, uh.
00:59:11You're a sexy beast.
00:59:13What happened to your hips?
00:59:15You've done so much work.
00:59:17The difference on your hip action and on your foot placement.
00:59:21Your finish is incredible.
00:59:23Daniela, you've done a fantastic job.
00:59:26You should be proud.
00:59:27Yes.
00:59:28Carrie Ann.
00:59:29I like the attack this time.
00:59:32I definitely felt you're more connected to the music.
00:59:34Sometimes your arms got a little, like, a little small.
00:59:38I know.
00:59:39Look.
00:59:40Look, you guys.
00:59:41A lot is at stake.
00:59:42Everybody has worked so hard.
00:59:43I have to tell him.
00:59:44So if he's here next week, he has something to work on, right?
00:59:47We want everybody to do well.
00:59:48So that is what I think you need to work on.
00:59:51And you have done a great job so far.
00:59:53Okay.
00:59:54All right.
00:59:55Derek.
00:59:56Dylan.
00:59:57I'm sorry, guys.
00:59:58Bear with me.
00:59:59It's the knee slide at the beginning.
01:00:00So good.
01:00:01The compact chassis.
01:00:02The New Yorkers.
01:00:03The details, man.
01:00:04Your hip action.
01:00:05The proper Cuban motion.
01:00:06That is not easy to do.
01:00:07Your arm placement.
01:00:08And the New Yorkers, your feet were turned out.
01:00:10Nobody does that.
01:00:12It was so, so impressive, man.
01:00:14You should be so proud.
01:00:16There was a little thing there, but great job.
01:00:20Great job.
01:00:21Great job, dude.
01:00:22Head on up to the skybox, dude.
01:00:24The standard of dancing on this record-breaking season has been so exceptional that none of
01:00:29us want it to end.
01:00:31But we will wrap it up next Tuesday night with our competition-packed season finale.
01:00:37Julianne.
01:00:38I know.
01:00:39And I can't believe how fast the season has gone by.
01:00:42So it's truly a testament to how hard all of these couples work.
01:00:46Okay.
01:00:47You've done a tango tonight.
01:00:48You've done a cha-cha tonight.
01:00:50Are you a ballroom or a Latin guy?
01:00:52The Latin's fun.
01:00:53I'm better at the other, but the Latin's really fun.
01:00:55I don't know.
01:00:56You've got that hip-hop again.
01:00:57I love it.
01:00:58That's what we practice the most.
01:00:59So it feels good to go out there and do it.
01:01:01I think everybody is very happy about that.
01:01:04All right.
01:01:05Let's get your scores.
01:01:06Carianne Inabe.
01:01:07Nine!
01:01:08Derrick House.
01:01:09The Little Thumb on nine.
01:01:10A great job, man.
01:01:11Great job.
01:01:12It's a ten.
01:01:13All right.
01:01:14That's 28 out of 30 for Dylan and Daniela.
01:01:16Cha-Cha.
01:01:17Their total for both dancers is 55.
01:01:20All right.
01:01:21How bad do you want to be in this finale?
01:01:22So bad.
01:01:23I know that she's going to do some incredible choreo, and I want that out there and do it.
01:01:28So I really want to get there.
01:01:30Got some freestyle magic up your sleeve, I'm sure, Daniela.
01:01:31All right.
01:01:32Well, judges' scores alone won't allow them to dance for the trophy and the title next
01:01:33week, but you can help them get there with the power of your votes.
01:01:34Alfonso.
01:01:35All right.
01:01:36Thanks, Julianne.
01:01:37There's more fierce competition on the way.
01:01:38Whitney and Mark perform a Viennese Waltz to a Prince hit from Sign of the Times when
01:01:41we come back live.
01:01:58We're back with the pros that you can see in person this winter in our all-new live tour.
01:02:12Go to dwtstour.com for tickets and information.
01:02:16The shows have been selling fast, so don't miss your chance.
01:02:19And trust me, you're going to have the most amazing time, I promise.
01:02:22All right.
01:02:23Well, next up, the star who earned $29 for her cha-cha, Dances of Viennese Waltz to
01:02:28Slow Love from Prince's ninth album, his masterpiece, Sign of the Times.
01:02:33That's right.
01:02:34Here are Whitney and Mark training for this last chance to get into next week's season
01:02:39finale.
01:02:40So this is it, man.
01:02:43Hopefully your gateway to potentially make the finale.
01:02:46Yeah.
01:02:47You know?
01:02:48So what has this experience been like for you?
01:02:49I knew it was going to be really challenging going into it.
01:02:53Just being a fan of the show and seeing all the hard work that the stars put in.
01:02:56But it's so different when you actually live it.
01:02:59It is.
01:03:00I feel like being a part of this experience, like, blossomed something in me that I feel like
01:03:13had been missing.
01:03:15I've learned it's okay to be yourself.
01:03:18And when I dance, I feel most like myself.
01:03:20So it's been really exciting to reunite with that person.
01:03:24I just feel like this whole experience has been life changing for me.
01:03:27And I'm just, I'm just so grateful.
01:03:30I'm proud of you.
01:03:35Good.
01:03:36Shifting.
01:03:37I don't know.
01:03:38In this V and these walls, Whitney has to create width in her frame.
01:03:41And we need to create space with this frame.
01:03:43Show us elegance, poise, and try your best to just look like a little princess float on
01:03:48a cloud.
01:03:49Like, I want to style it cool.
01:03:50Okay.
01:03:51Because it's Prince.
01:03:52There's a lot of writing on this one.
01:03:53Again, now let's try and get back to the center.
01:03:55The most challenging thing for me is my back keeping it arched the whole time.
01:03:59Use your back.
01:04:00It's just a very awkward position to have to hold throughout the whole entire dance.
01:04:04Two, three, set aside.
01:04:05Get in the frame.
01:04:06Do it again.
01:04:07That's where you're looking to get.
01:04:08I'm a mom and had kids.
01:04:09I didn't think I could make a living off of being a performer and entertainer.
01:04:13But now it feels obtainable.
01:04:15Yes.
01:04:16Better.
01:04:17And that I will forever be grateful for.
01:04:18Not bad.
01:04:19Not bad.
01:04:20Dancing the Viennese waltz with her partner Mark Ballas, it's Whitney Levitt.
01:04:35The song is the night.
01:04:42It feels so right.
01:04:50Let's make it slow.
01:04:59Like the wind blows.
01:05:06Let's make it.
01:05:09Let's make it last forever.
01:05:14Oh, a hundred times it wouldn't be enough.
01:05:24Tonight is the night for making it slow.
01:05:39Wow.
01:05:40Yes.
01:05:41Whitney and Mark with a Viennese waltz.
01:05:45You can do this.
01:05:46You can do this.
01:05:47Oh, yeah.
01:05:48You can do this.
01:05:49Absolutely gorgeous.
01:05:50You get me?
01:05:51You can do this.
01:05:52Yeah.
01:05:53Beautiful.
01:05:54Absolutely beautiful.
01:05:55Carrie Ann.
01:05:56Wow.
01:05:57Okay.
01:05:58That was for you from all the performance that you have done, my absolute favorite.
01:06:15It felt so authentically you.
01:06:20You unmasked.
01:06:22You showed us truly your soul and how much you love to dance.
01:06:26And I just want to thank you for that.
01:06:28There was a bit of a hop.
01:06:30So I had to mark for that.
01:06:32But what you did, please, no one can take that away from you.
01:06:35That was outstanding.
01:06:37Yes.
01:06:38There was a two.
01:06:39All right.
01:06:40Two.
01:06:41Carrie Ann, you crazy big girl.
01:06:42I see what I see.
01:06:43Oh, whatever.
01:06:44Okay.
01:06:45Okay.
01:06:46Okay.
01:06:47Go ahead.
01:06:48I want to share this actually real fast.
01:06:49I want to commend you so much for sharing your ambition and sharing your dreams because I
01:06:54find it to be very courageous.
01:06:56Very courageous.
01:06:57A lot of people are afraid to express what they desire, what they want to do in fear that
01:07:02it won't happen.
01:07:03It's scary to put that out there.
01:07:04But you put that out there and you show up and you deliver and you dance, girl.
01:07:08You dance.
01:07:09Yes, my love.
01:07:10Yes, my love.
01:07:11Bruno.
01:07:12Because you are immensely talented.
01:07:14What we saw tonight, whatever, the quality of movement in that genese waltz we see very
01:07:20rarely.
01:07:21We always look for that feel, you know, guys, like the riding on the crest of a wave.
01:07:26When you do everything and it's absolutely in tune and phrased with the music.
01:07:31Impeccable!
01:07:32Ending up to the sky box.

01:07:52Julianne.
01:07:53Thanks, Alfonso.
01:07:54All right.
01:07:55Before we get started, Mark, I actually want to acknowledge something.
01:08:00I overheard you say, you can do this, you can do this.
01:08:03What does that mean?
01:08:04I think just, you know, I feel like this little girl whose dreams are coming true and
01:08:12more than ever on this show, I feel like those are obtainable.
01:08:14I f***ing love this show!

01:08:28All right.
01:08:2929 out of 30 for Whitney and Mark Svini's waltz.
01:08:32Their total for both dances is 58.
01:08:34That's a ten!
01:08:35That's a ten!
01:08:36All right.

01:08:40Their total for both dances is 58.

01:08:52Voting closes shortly after the final competitive dance of the night.
01:08:55Alfonso.
01:08:56All right.
01:08:57Thanks, Julianne.
01:08:58Another hit from Side of the Times is up next.
01:09:01Jordan and Ezra dance an Argentine tango after this, live.
01:09:13Welcome back to the semifinals.
01:09:18We'll continue Prince Night with an Argentine tango until you got the look from the star
01:09:22who earned 27 for her jive.
01:09:25Here are Jordan and Ezra training for her last dance to get into the finale.
01:09:30Look at us.
01:09:31We've came a long way.
01:09:32Now that we're here, how has this experience been for you?
01:09:37Words can't describe how proud I am that I was able to show the world that I love dancing
01:09:43and it's not just because of my sport.
01:09:45It was actually something that I really wanted to pursue as a little kid.
01:09:48I'm very proud of myself.
01:09:49That little girl is definitely looking up at me right now and being like, you did it.
01:09:53Our Argentine tango is the last dance before finale.
01:09:58It's going to be a make or break moment.
01:10:01Yes.
01:10:02We have to make this dance a standout.
01:10:04I'm willing to really do anything.
01:10:06Tear me apart.
01:10:07Do whatever.
01:10:08If I got to be in five different corners.
01:10:09I don't know how, but girl, you will figure it out.
01:10:11It's time to get to work, my dude.
01:10:13I step and you go.
01:10:15But replace my foot.
01:10:17Try it again.
01:10:18In order for us to succeed in this Argentine tango,
01:10:21Jordan needs to master those boleros and ganjos.
01:10:24So the things that go like...
01:10:25Oh, I forgot to flick you.
01:10:27Because everyone at home knows that stuff and it's iconic.
01:10:30Boom, boom, ha.
01:10:32What was this?
01:10:33Get the foot on the floor.
01:10:34Try it again.
01:10:35It's one of the harder dances that I've had to learn.
01:10:37You missed like five legs.
01:10:39I did.
01:10:40Let's come back this time.
01:10:42As a gymnast, we like to tighten our quads.
01:10:46So I do keep kicking Ezra a lot.
01:10:49You roundhouse kicked my shin.
01:10:54That felt intentional.
01:10:56Being eliminated before the finale would really suck.
01:10:59I want to prove to myself that I've gone through a lot,
01:11:02but look at me.
01:11:04I can be strong.
01:11:05I can be passionate.
01:11:06I can be dedicated.
01:11:07So I'm bringing Olympic level energy to make sure
01:11:10we punch our ticket to the finale.
01:11:12Good.
01:11:13That was good.
01:11:14Can you do that again?
01:11:16Dancing the Argentine Tango with her partner Ezra Sosa,

01:12:28You've got the look
01:12:33Jordan and Ezra
01:12:40They've got the look
01:12:41With their Argentine tango
01:12:44All right
01:12:47Right
01:12:49All right
01:12:52Derek
01:12:54Jordan, listen
01:12:56I have to tell you
01:12:57Being an athlete
01:12:59I know that the scores
01:13:01Being on top
01:13:02Being number one
01:13:03Is important
01:13:03Well, I'll tell you, my dear
01:13:04That was a top
01:13:06Performance
01:13:07I love the lines
01:13:10I love the lines
01:13:10The smooth, slick tricks over there
01:13:13And way to make an entrance
01:13:15I love that
01:13:16That was wonderful
01:13:17Well done
01:13:18All right, Bruno
01:13:19Beautiful
01:13:20Powerful
01:13:22Focus
01:13:23She was so strong
01:13:24You were literally leading
01:13:26She was leading Ezra
01:13:29You were really the leading lady of the dance, my girl
01:13:34Fabulous
01:13:36All right
01:13:37Carrie Ann
01:13:37I'm trying to find the words
01:13:40To describe you
01:13:42Because you stand out
01:13:43You're in a class of your own
01:13:44You're always taking the biggest risk
01:13:47You are always moving forward to your own style
01:13:50You do not sacrifice what you want to be
01:13:53When you show up on this dance floor
01:13:54For anybody
01:13:55And I love that
01:13:56And tonight
01:13:57That was the bomb
01:13:58Come on
01:14:00All right
01:14:01Head on up to the skybox
01:14:03There is one dance to go
01:14:05In the semifinals
01:14:06Robert and Whitney
01:14:07Will perform a Viennese waltz
01:14:08To a 2014 Prince hit
01:14:11Julianne
01:14:12Thanks, Alfonso
01:14:13Jordan
01:14:14I see you getting emotional
01:14:17How you doing?
01:14:18You want to share anything right now?
01:14:21Honestly, you know
01:14:22This has been an incredible journey
01:14:24And like I said earlier
01:14:26That little girl in me
01:14:27Definitely should be very, very proud
01:14:30Now you said
01:14:32You haven't got a perfect score
01:14:33In gymnastics
01:14:34And you haven't got a perfect score yet
01:14:36On Dancing with the Stars
01:14:37Are you hoping for that tonight?
01:14:39I am
01:14:39Let's get your scores
01:14:41Carrie Ann Inabe
01:14:44Ten
01:14:45Derek Huff
01:14:48Ten
01:14:50Bruna Tom Young
01:14:52Ten
01:14:5330 out of 30 for Jordan
01:14:57And as is Argentine Tango
01:14:59Their total for both dances
01:15:01Is 57
01:15:02Jordan
01:15:03You did it
01:15:05And just in time
01:15:06For the finale
01:15:07Coming up
01:15:08All right
01:15:09Well if you have been giving them
01:15:11Your votes throughout the season
01:15:12This is not the time to stop
01:15:14Vote right now
01:15:15To send them
01:15:16To next week's season finale
01:15:17We're coming right back
01:15:18Live
01:15:19We're back with Prince Night
01:15:32Last up
01:15:33The star who earned a perfect 30 for his jive
01:15:36Performs a Viennese waltz to wow
01:15:38From Prince's 36th album
01:15:402014
01:15:41Plectum Electrum
01:15:44Here are Robert and Whitney in training
01:15:47This is the dance that could get us into the finale
01:15:53Little 11 year old me would be screaming right now
01:15:57You know when you're little and you enter the Dancing with the Stars ballroom
01:16:01My eyes are just so wide
01:16:02And it all just seemed so enormous
01:16:05But having this experience myself
01:16:07It actually feels 10 times bigger
01:16:09I am walking a path that my sister forged
01:16:12And it's been a great honour to do that
01:16:15But now in the semi-finals
01:16:17It's time to write our own story
01:16:19And it's time to create my own legacy
01:16:21There's no room for anything other than perfect
01:16:23Because I know that everybody else is going to be bringing their best
01:16:26I just want to pour my heart and soul into it
01:16:29Let's amp this up
01:16:30And get ourselves to the finale
01:16:32Let's go
01:16:33Viennese waltz
01:16:34It's a lot of rotation
01:16:35The difficult part about Viennese waltz for Robert
01:16:37Is the footwork and the technique
01:16:39So that there's no stumbles and there's no falls
01:16:42Oh my god
01:16:42There are such high stakes
01:16:44Crap
01:16:45So it really has to be perfect
01:16:47Get into it
01:16:48It's just the character
01:16:49The hardest part of this Viennese waltz
01:16:51Is the fact that I have to be so passionate and intense with Whitney
01:16:54That's just not our dynamic
01:16:56This is weird
01:16:57Closer
01:16:58This show has been
01:17:02Everything to me
01:17:03And we have hit a lot of challenges along the way
01:17:06Tonight
01:17:07If we get this right
01:17:09We're on to the finale
01:17:10And that will be the ultimate dream come true
01:17:12Dancing the Viennese waltz
01:17:17With his partner Whitney Carson
01:17:19It's Robert Irwin
01:17:21Looking so fine
01:17:39Now it's true
01:17:41Remember the time we were first met
01:17:44You think that was good
01:17:46You ain't seen nothing yet
01:17:49Like a beat of the whole day
01:17:52I'm on to a fight
01:17:54You're an addiction
01:17:56And you got me to blame
01:17:58And I'm so incoming
01:18:00But I made no claim
01:18:03You can call it the unexpected
01:18:07Or you can call it
01:18:08Wow
01:18:10You can call it, call it
01:18:13Wow
01:18:15You can call it, call it, call it
01:18:18Wow
01:18:19Robert and Whitney
01:18:33With a Viennese waltz
01:18:36Oh yeah
01:18:37You delivered that one dude
01:18:42Yeah
01:18:43That was the final dance
01:18:46Voting
01:18:46Will be closing soon
01:18:48Bruno, take it away
01:18:49Go
01:18:51Robert and Top Gun mode
01:18:54It's like Tom Cruise
01:18:56One blockbuster after another
01:18:59That was so thrilling
01:19:02I want to see the sequel
01:19:04I didn't want it to stop
01:19:05What is she gonna do next?
01:19:08Thank you so much
01:19:09You'll do it in the final
01:19:10Trust me
01:19:11Trust me
01:19:13Alright, alright

01:19:22You made us curious about you
01:19:23Telling the story like that
