Dazzling Dance Moves Light Up DWTS' Epic 20th Birthday Bash!
Hey DWTS fans! Get ready to boogie because the Dancing With The Stars crew threw an unforgettable 20th birthday bash on Tuesday night (Oct. 11) that rocked everyone's world! The star of the night? Robert Irwin, hands down!
This party had it all—two super unique rounds of jaw-dropping dance battles. First up, all the couples threw it back with epic freestyle routines from earlier DWTS seasons, setting the stage on fire! And if that wasn’t enough, the relay dance round saw celebs team up with former Mirrorball champs, going head-to-head for some seriously epic toe-tapping action!
Hold onto your hats: Australian conservationist Robert Irwin, teamed with the dazzling Witney Carson, served up the season's first perfect 40 performance, grooving to sister Bindi Irwin's legendary freestyle song. It was a heartfelt tribute to their dad, Steve “Crocodile Hunter” Irwin, that's got all the feels!
Plus, talk about scoring strikes! Dylan Efron & Daniella Karagach, Alix Earle & Val Chmerkovskiy, and Whitney Leavitt & Mark Ballas all hit perfect scores, bringing their A-game like whoa!
In a wild Relay Jive showdown, Irwin paired up with past champ Xochitl Gomez, grooving against the fierce duo of Alix Earle and Joey Graziadei to the buzzing beats of Olly Murs' “Dance with Me Tonight.” Robert rocked his baby blue outfit like a pro, throwing down killer floor slides and leaps, while Alix and Joey hit the floor in fiery red. In the end, Irwin and Gomez jived their way to victory, snagging those bonus points!
But it wasn’t all fun and games—Andy Richter and partner Emma Slater had to say goodbye as they racked up the lowest score, stepping out of the competition with heavy hearts.
Brace yourselves for next week’s Prince Night! It's the semi-finals where the stakes get even higher, and we inch one step closer to crowning the season's ultimate champion on Nov. 25 with a grand, three-hour finale spectacular!
See Irwin's epic Relay Jive and all the exhilarating moves that made DWTS' 20th Birthday Bash the talk of the town! 🎉
