00:00Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for Derek Hough's sharp technique,
00:06innovative choreography, and undeniable charisma that has consistently amazed fans and judges alike.
00:19Number 30. Argentine Tango to El Capitalismo Foraneo with Nicole Scherzinger.
00:26Derek and Nicole's Argentine Tango is one of those routines where you can appreciate how much work went into it,
00:33while still getting completely swept up in the performance.
00:46The choreography is packed with tricky ganchos and rapid leg wraps,
00:51but Nicole handles every challenge with impressive control.
00:54And then there's that chemistry.
01:05Their intense focus and connection make the whole thing feel incredibly intimate,
01:10while the moody track practically transports us to the streets of Buenos Aires.
01:14It's technical, dramatic, and seriously sultry all at once.
01:19The judges clearly agreed, awarding them a perfect 30, twice,
01:23and reminding us yet again of what this partnership can do.
01:37Number 29. Quick Step to Hey Pachuco with Shawn Johnson.
01:42Even for the fittest contestant, the Quick Step can be challenging.
01:54Now add the pressure of paying homage to one of the show's most iconic Quick Steps,
01:59plus trying to outdo your own little sister,
02:02and we're sweating before anyone puts their best foot forward.
02:06Derek puts Shawn through a seriously demanding routine,
02:10complete with dizzying spins, rapid footwork, and plenty of quick changes in direction.
02:22Yet she keeps that incredible speed under control while maintaining her frame,
02:28staying perfectly in sync with Derek,
02:30and still bringing so much personality to the performance.
02:33There's no time to think, let alone breathe.
02:36And yet, Shawn looks like she's genuinely having fun with it.
02:40Hey! Pachuco! Hey!
02:50Number 28. Paso Doble to Montagues and Capulets.
02:54With Maria Menounos.
02:56Maria and Derek certainly weren't holding back with this Paso Doble.
03:09Set to a huge orchestral score,
03:12Derek's ambitious choreography gives Maria plenty of opportunities
03:15to show off her fierce side,
03:17with powerful shapes, strong footwork,
03:20and dramatic character work throughout.
03:22She throws herself into every moment,
03:24but she still keeps plenty of control beneath all that intensity.
03:36Maria looks completely transformed when the music begins,
03:39and the judges clearly saw something special too,
03:43awarding the season's first perfect scores.
03:45After this, it was hard not to start seeing Maria as a serious title contender.
03:51The judges even chose the dance for an encore performance.
04:06Number 27. Tango to Theme from Psycho.
04:09With Ricky Lake.
04:11Here's a pair who took a pretty unexpected route with their tango,
04:14pairing it with one of cinema's most unsettling scores.
04:26The choreography plays up the psycho-inspired concept with eerie character work,
04:31sharp movements, and yes, a spine-chilling homage.
04:35Ricky throws herself into the performance,
04:37delivering the wide-eyed intensity this routine calls for
04:40while still meeting the technical demands.
04:53It could easily have become more gimmick than dance,
04:56but thankfully, that never happens.
04:58The tango remains front and center,
05:01which makes the whole thing even more impressive.
05:03The judges rewarded their spooky gamble with a 29 out of 30,
05:07and we went to sleep that night with one eye open.
05:19Number 26. Charleston to Honey, I'm Good.
05:23With Nastia Lukin and Sasha Farber.
05:26Even with an injury limiting Derek's own dancing,
05:28he wasn't about to let that stop him from going all out with the choreography.
05:33No, no, honey, I'm good.
05:35I could have another bit of poppy shit.
05:37Not like us, buddy, yeah, home, home, home, home.
05:40With his fellow pro helping execute his vision,
05:43he created a Charleston pact with rapid transitions,
05:46explosive tricks, and enough fast footwork to make us tired just watching.
05:51Nastia was completely in her element,
05:54switching between crisp Charleston movements,
05:57seriously impressive tricks,
05:58and two partners while staying perfectly in time.
06:09The upbeat music only adds to the sheer joy of it all.
06:12They scored 38 out of 40,
06:14and clearly the judges were impressed.
06:17So were we,
06:18especially when they brought this crowd pleaser back for their finale encore.

06:45I'm just so excited to be here, and here we go.
06:48Let's do this. Let's go.
06:49Number 25.
06:51Bangra to Mundia Tobachki with Sean Johnson.
06:55Stepping outside the ballroom for a bangra,
06:57Derek and Sean gave us something completely different.
07:09The routine demands incredible stamina,
07:12with rapid footwork,
07:13rhythmic shoulder movements,
07:14and barely a second to slow down.
07:16Luckily, Sean's gymnastics background
07:19means she's more than capable of keeping up with Derek's breakneck ambitions.
07:33What elevates the performance above just technical execution, though,
07:38is their infectious, unbridled joy.
07:41It truly looks like they're having the time of their lives.
07:44Derek also gives the style plenty of room to breathe
07:47instead of forcing it into a traditional ballroom format.
07:50The result earned a perfect 30 and remains a seriously fun watch.
08:05Number 24.
08:07Contemporary slash modern to walking on air with Jamie Goodwin.
08:11Derek and Jamie Goodwin gave us a contemporary routine
08:15that looked almost impossibly effortless.
08:17There's a little creepy house in a little creepy place,
08:21a little creepy town in a little creepy world,
08:25a little creepy girl with her little creepy face.
08:29Seemingly inspired by Fred Astaire's famous gravity-defying dancing,
08:33the choreography blends lyrical and jazz influences
08:36with intricate partnering, dramatic lifts,
08:39and beautifully fluid movement.
08:41Jamie's incredible extensions are a particular highlight,
08:44while Derek fills the choreography with tiny musical details
08:47that add even more texture.
08:58And just when you think you've figured out where their routine is going,
09:02they're suddenly moving across the floor in another gravity-defying sequence.
09:06There's plenty of athleticism here,
09:08but it never overwhelms the emotion of the dance.
09:10It's beautiful, inventive, and earned Derek a well-deserved Primetime Emmy Award.
09:27Number 23.
09:29Argentine Tango to La Cumparsita
09:32With Jennifer Grey
09:33This duo had a lot to contend with here,
09:36including injuries and a piano performance
09:38that made an already difficult dance even trickier.
09:41You wouldn't know it from watching them, though.
09:54Their Argentine tango is full of sharp footwork,
09:57ganchos, and ochos,
09:59with Jennifer bringing an intensity
10:00that keeps us completely hooked.
10:02Derek's choreography gives her plenty to work with,
10:05while their chemistry makes the more intimate moments
10:08especially effective.
10:19Bruno Tonioli gave them the highest praise,
10:22and the pair scored 56 out of 60.
10:24More importantly, Jennifer looked every inch
10:27the contender she had been threatening to become since day one.
10:31This was a seriously impressive comeback.
10:41Number 22.
10:43Freestyle to Can You Do This
10:45With Amber Riley
10:46Now, here's a freestyle that is basically impossible to watch without smiling.
10:50Now, I shall hope that the sun got rhythm
10:53Cause he gonna dance when that music heals
10:56The choreography is packed with rapid transitions
10:59and intricate synchronization,
11:00but Amber's confidence is what really makes it pop.
11:04Derek clearly knows exactly how to showcase her strengths,
11:07giving her plenty of athletic movement
11:09while letting her personality shine through.
11:19She looks like she's having the time of her life from beginning to end.
11:23She keeps up her energy the whole way through,
11:25while making it look like an absolute walk in the park.
11:28It's joyful, energetic, and ridiculously entertaining
11:31from the first beat to the last.
11:33No wonder they lifted that mirrorball trophy.
11:36I know you make bad, you can't move
11:39Can you move the way I move?
11:48Number 21.
11:50Paso Doble to Living on Video
11:51With Joanna Krupa
11:53Derek completely reimagined the Paso Doble here,
11:56tweaking traditional bullfighting imagery
11:58for something that looks like it came straight out of a futuristic sci-fi movie.
12:08The choreography is full of rigid shapes,
12:10robotic movements, and intense posturing,
12:13turning the parent to something resembling a very stylish mechanical duel.
12:17Joanna commits to the concept wholeheartedly,
12:19matching Derek's sharp, staccato movements,
12:22while still maintaining those strong Paso lines.
12:35It was certainly a risky choice for the semi-finals,
12:38but that's part of what makes the routine so memorable.
12:41Joanna may not have made the final,
12:42but this wonderfully weird performance has become a cult favorite with fans.
12:46And honestly, we can see why.
13:08While you probably wouldn't associate Michael Jackson's bad with the Argentine tango,
13:12if anyone was going to make it work, it would be Derek.
13:15Dancing with Olympic gymnast Sean Johnson,
13:18the couple treats us to a dance that is equal parts drama, artistry, and passion.
13:29Their focus, attack, and precision throughout have us completely enchanted,
13:33and we can't tear our eyes away from them for even a second.
13:37Bruno called the routine breathtaking and stylistically perfect,
13:41while Len commended them on really performing every step.
13:44After watching this dance,
13:46fans couldn't believe that this duo didn't take home the All-Stars mirrorball.
13:56Number 19.
13:57Freestyle to Revolution District 78 Remix
14:01With Bethany Moda
14:07What makes Derek such a talented choreographer
14:10is how he interprets his partner's strengths and translates them into movement.
14:14Boom!
14:15Ha!
14:15Bethany excels really in the more dramatic routine,
14:18so I'm trying to like create something around that.
14:20This is perhaps best seen in this powerful and stunning routine
14:23that reminds us just why he and Bethany make the perfect partnership.
14:27We still can't quite believe that they were eliminated after this dance,
14:31which earned them a standing ovation and the highest praise from the judges.
14:35At least we got to enjoy it once more after it was voted by the audience for an encore.
14:46Len called it a five-star freestyle,
14:49and of course, they scored tens across the board.
14:58Number 18.
15:00Viennese Waltz to Fall for You
15:02With Nastia Lukin
15:03In this beautiful Viennese waltz,
15:06Derek plays a young Len Goodman during his dancing heyday.
15:09Here we are together
15:12During rehearsals for the dance,
15:14Len shared his heartbreak when he realized his dance days were behind him.
15:18Sometimes I get that feeling, I think,
15:20gee, I wish I could still dance like that.
15:22Derek absorbed that nostalgia and heartache
15:25to create this breathtaking routine,
15:27honoring Len's legacy.
15:29It was also rather fitting that this should be Derek's comeback
15:32after taking time off due to injury.
15:34Just try not to feel moved when Derek steps aside
15:37and Len takes over to finish the dance with Nastia.
15:42Falling, falling
15:45It's emotional, stunning, and a very fitting tribute
15:48from one dance great to another
15:50that feels even more meaningful today.
15:53Number 17.
15:54Contemporary to Elastic Heart
15:56With Julianne Hough
16:04Dancing in tandem with their mini-me's,
16:06Emma York and Joey German,
16:08the Hough siblings reunited
16:09on the Dancing with the Stars stage
16:11for this mind-blowing contemporary routine.
16:18Their interpretation of Sia's song
16:20tells the story of the trickier side of family dynamics,
16:23something they understand well.
16:26Audiences were astounded by their inventive choreography,
16:29impeccable synchronization,
16:30and the heart-stirring narrative they presented.
16:33What particularly impressed
16:34was how the dancers navigated their choreography
16:37through a moving set.
16:45This dance,
16:46described by Derek on Instagram
16:47as such an honor
16:49and incredibly meaningful and personal,
16:51won the pair an Emmy
16:52for outstanding choreography.
16:54Number 16.
16:55Foxtrot to Lullaby of Birdland
16:57with Brooke Burke.
17:05Although Brooke had consistently
17:07impressed the judges and audiences,
17:09Derek put a little extra spring in her step
17:11when he compared dancing with her
17:13to dancing with a professional.
17:14With this highest of praise in mind,
17:17she performs a memorable foxtrot
17:19that oozes elegance, grace, and glamour.
17:28It's basically a perfect foxtrot,
17:30so it was hardly a surprise
17:31when the judges awarded them a perfect score.
17:34Bruno was in complete awe of the routine,
17:37calling it a beautiful performance
17:38from start to finish.
17:40Derek would go on
17:40to hold the record for most wins,
17:42but Brooke would always be his first.
18:00You'd be forgiven for forgetting
18:02that it was only week two
18:03when Derek and Kelly danced
18:05this incredibly impressive routine.
18:07And with such impeccable synchronization,
18:09you'd be fooled into thinking
18:11they'd been dancing together for years.
18:13Derek choreographs each step
18:15to show off Kelly's talents
18:16and highlight what sets her apart
18:18from the competition.
18:19It's very full-on,
18:21and Derek doesn't hold back
18:22in taking risks,
18:23but she takes it all in her stride,
18:26performing each step to near perfection.
18:34The judges piled on the compliments
18:37following this challenging routine
18:38and even scored them
18:40the joint top marks of the night.
18:46For his first dance
18:48with the Dirty Dancing star,
18:50Derek unleashed his inner Swayze
18:51with a Viennese waltz
18:53to these arms of mine.
19:01His choreography pays homage to the movie
19:03while simultaneously adding his own flair.
19:06As he demonstrates the steps
19:08to his partner,
19:09old memories come flooding back,
19:11and she's hit by a mix of emotions.
19:13We already knew that she could dance,
19:15but by incorporating those feelings too,
19:17she gives us a beautiful,
19:19graceful,
19:19and heartfelt performance.
19:21We can only imagine
19:22that Johnny would be beaming with pride
19:24if he could see Baby now.
19:25Love and arms to hold me down.
19:32Number 13.
19:34Jive to Great Balls of Fire
19:36with Julianne Hough.
19:37So now,
19:38dancing a jive to Great Balls of Fire,
19:41please welcome the pros you chose.
19:44Julianne and Derek were voted to perform a jive
19:46as part of the Macy's Design a Dance contest.
19:49Dancing to the rock and roll classic
19:51Great Balls of Fire,
19:52the two give us an absolutely energetic
19:54and spectacular performance
19:56that is everything we could hope for and more.
20:04Derek comes down the shimmering steps
20:07to reveal Julianne inside a grand piano,
20:09and that's just the beginning.
20:11It's a show-stopping performance
20:12from start to end,
20:13with plenty of gravity-defying tricks
20:16that leave us completely stunned.
20:23By the time we finished
20:24scooping our jaws up off the floor,
20:26the pair had received an Emmy nomination
20:28for their outstanding choreography.
20:37Number 12.
20:38Jive to Shake a Tail Feather
20:40with Julianne Hough.
20:48When Julianne stopped by
20:49with the cast of the Footloose remake,
20:51we couldn't pass up the chance
20:52to see the Huffs dance together again.
20:54Proving that they don't do anything by halves,
20:57the dynamic duo threw everything
20:58into this energetic jive,
21:00leaving us out of breath just watching them.
21:03There are so many thrilling tricks and flips,
21:05including Derek leaping down the steps
21:07straight into the splits.
21:15It's even more impressive
21:16when you consider
21:17that Derek was recovering
21:18from a shoulder injury at the time.
21:20As always,
21:21they deliver a brilliant and spirited routine
21:23that's incredibly fun to watch.
21:32Number 11.
21:33Paso Doble to Spanish Guitar
21:35with Nicole Scherzinger
21:43Taking us back in time to the 1950s,
21:46Derek and Nicole deliver a Paso Doble
21:48like nothing we've ever seen before.
21:50Never one to hold back on innovation
21:52and risk-taking,
21:54Derek seamlessly incorporates
21:55recognizable moves from the era
21:57into a more traditional Paso Doble.
22:06His attention to detail certainly pays off,
22:09with Len calling it
22:10not just the dance of the season,
22:11but possibly the dance of all 10 seasons.
22:14It's so stylistic, powerful, and exciting
22:16that we couldn't imagine
22:17a more deserving dance for an encore.
22:26In fact, we could watch this one on a loop.
22:29Number 10.
22:30Finale dance to
22:31Let's Fall in Love for the Night
22:33by himself.
22:34Let's fall in love for the night
22:37and forget in the morning.
22:41When travel restrictions prevented Len
22:43from flying to the U.S. for season 29,
22:45Derek stepped in as a judge.
22:47During the finale,
22:48he reflected on the experience
22:49in the best way he knew how to.
22:58Throwing out some real Hollywood
23:00golden era vibes,
23:01he dances amongst some of the costumes,
23:03sets, and props
23:04that gave us the most memorable
23:05moments of the season.
23:12Derek called the routine
23:14fun and an homage
23:15to some of my heroes.
23:16If you want a dance
23:17that puts a smile on your face,
23:19this is it.
23:20Every moment reminds us
23:21why he's truly the greatest showman.
23:29Number 9.
23:30Paso Doble to Malagueña
23:32with Chelsea Hightower.
23:40Watching the pros do their thing
23:42is always amazing,
23:43but this dance in particular
23:44is a cut above the rest.
23:46Accompanied on the guitar
23:47by Mark Ballas,
23:48Derek and Chelsea's Paso
23:50radiates so much passion,
23:52sensuality,
23:52and conviction
23:53that it's impossible
23:54not to be entirely mesmerized.
24:03Their unbreakable focus
24:04is practically hypnotic
24:06as they dance
24:07as if they're the only two
24:08in the room.
24:09The choreography
24:09was nominated for an Emmy,
24:11and if it were up to us,
24:12it would have won.
24:20If any future Dancing with the Stars
24:22contestants are watching,
24:23take note,
24:24because this is how it's done.
24:26Number 8.
24:27Contemporary to Human
24:28with Amy Purdy.
24:30I can hold my breath.
24:35You can bet there were tears
24:36throughout the studio
24:37when Paralympic medalist
24:38Amy Purdy and Derek
24:40performed this emotional
24:41contemporary routine.
24:43Dancing to Christina Perri's Human,
24:45we defy you to find
24:46even one person
24:47who can't relate to
24:48or be inspired by
24:49the story this dance tells.
24:51But I'm only human.
24:58Yes, she dances it so beautifully,
25:00but what makes this routine
25:02stand out
25:02is the raw emotion behind it.
25:04You can truly feel
25:05how much heart and soul
25:06has gone into every step,
25:08from the choreography
25:09to the performance.
25:10I'm only human.
25:17Even the judges
25:18had to choke back their tears
25:19after this moving dance.
25:21I hope that you know
25:22what you are doing for people.
25:24Number 7.
25:25Jazz to Locked Out of Heaven
25:27with Amber Riley.
25:34This dance just goes to prove
25:36why Amber Riley
25:37and Derek Hough
25:38are amongst
25:39Dancing with the Stars
25:40most memorable partnerships.
25:41The choreography
25:42is super intricate
25:44and hyper-synchronized,
25:45and although it looks
25:46challenging to us,
25:47they make it look effortless.
25:55It's clear that Amber
25:56is having the time
25:57of her life
25:57throughout the routine,
25:58and their joy
25:59beams through our screens.
26:01Bruno commended them
26:02on their
26:02out-of-this-world synchronization,
26:04Carrie-Anne said
26:05they were in a class
26:06of their own,
26:07and Len simply said,
26:08do it again.
26:09When you watch them
26:10dance together,
26:11you just can't help
26:12but smile.
26:13Oh, so long, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
26:19Number 6.
26:20Freestyle to Footprints in the Sand
26:22with Bindi Irwin.
26:24I promise you.
26:27There wasn't a dry eye
26:29in the room
26:29when Bindi performed
26:30this heart-wrenching dance
26:31during the Season 21 finale.
26:33Dedicated to her late father,
26:35Steve Irwin,
26:36the pair danced
26:37a simple, graceful,
26:38and heartfelt routine
26:39to Footprints in the Sand.
26:41I promise you.
26:45I'm always there.
26:48Derek choreographs
26:49a touching and beautiful routine
26:50in honor of his partner,
26:52and she pours her emotions
26:53into every step.
26:55Even though they're
26:55paying tribute to her dad,
26:57you can't help but see
26:58Bindi and Derek's bond
26:59shine through, too.
27:00Reportedly,
27:01Derek surprised Bindi
27:02with the photo at the end
27:03that showed her as a child
27:05kissing her father's cheek.
27:13Number 5.
27:15Freestyle to Beneath Your Beautiful
27:17with Kelly Pickler
27:18You've built your walls so high
27:21that no one could climb it.
27:25For this dance,
27:26the decision was made
27:27to essentially forego props,
27:28fancy sets,
27:29or any glitz and glamour,
27:31and focus instead
27:32on Kelly's talents.
27:33He pushes her beyond her limits,
27:35even admitting that they were both
27:36super, super nervous
27:38ahead of this performance.
27:46The pair performed
27:47the most spectacular lifts
27:48with each one leaving us
27:49feeling even more spellbound
27:51than the last.
27:52You can tell that Pickler
27:53is dancing from the heart,
27:54and by the end,
27:55we're all emotionally raw.
27:57This was their final shot
27:58to convince the public
27:59that they should be
28:00the season 16 champions,
28:01and they nailed it.
28:03We can miss you beautiful tonight.
28:10Number 4.
28:11Contemporary to Unsteady
28:13with Julianne Hough
28:14If you thought we were done
28:22with the tear-jerking routines,
28:24think again.
28:25After laying their hearts
28:26on the dance floor
28:27during Elastic Heart,
28:28the Huffs were back
28:29for another stirring performance.
28:31This time,
28:31the dance tells the story
28:32of how they were separated
28:33following their parents' divorce.
28:35Cause I'm a little unsteady
28:41little unsteady
28:42We know how talented
28:43these siblings are,
28:44but this routine
28:45is in a league of its own.
28:46As well as baring their souls
28:48through intricate choreography,
28:50this dance really shows
28:51the tight bond they share.
28:59Ending on a hopeful note,
29:01they show that when life
29:02feels unsteady,
29:03they can always hold on
29:04to each other.
29:05Number 3.
29:07Freestyle to Do You Love Me
29:08Now That I Can Dance
29:09with Jennifer Grey
29:17Rather than recreate
29:18a cherished memory
29:19with Patrick Swayze,
29:20Grey decided she wanted
29:21to make new memories
29:22with Derek.
29:23However,
29:24that didn't mean
29:24we couldn't have
29:25a few dirty dancing throwbacks.
29:27Their freestyle
29:28is incredibly fun to watch,
29:29and it's clear
29:30that they're having
29:30the time of their lives, too.
29:38Their chemistry is on fire
29:40as they channel
29:41their inner Baby and Johnny.
29:42Grey even admitted
29:43that the experience
29:44reignited her passion for dance.
29:46Perhaps they don't recreate
29:47the lift,
29:48but the tricks that they do
29:49are just as impressive,
29:50and will definitely go down
29:52in Dancing with the Stars history.
29:55Dancing!
29:58What now?
30:01Number 2.
30:02Roomba to The Lady in Red
30:03with Nicole Scherzinger
30:07When you have a dancer
30:12as beautiful as Nicole,
30:13you don't need any gimmicks
30:15to distract from the choreography.
30:17Dancing to The Lady in Red,
30:18the pair focuses on
30:19the tricky steps
30:20and timing of the Roomba,
30:21as well as finessing
30:22the routine
30:23with sensuality
30:24and passion.
30:31This dance brought out
30:33a side of Nicole
30:33that we were less familiar with,
30:35and Derek perfectly frames
30:36her every move.
30:38The judges really had
30:39to put the dance
30:39under a microscope
30:40just to find something
30:41to critique.
30:42Perhaps the lift
30:43came in too soon,
30:44but hey,
30:45we were too mesmerized
30:46to notice.
