Justina and Sasha danced a Tango per Derek to El Tango de Roxanne— This was a huge improvement over the first time she did Tango. I think she still has room to grow as she doesn’t bring me in the way some of the other contestants do, but she did well. Derek said the attack, the passion, the energy. There were no hops. He said loved it, well done. Bruno said you were on top of it, total change of intention. Carrie Ann said there was a new confidence, you oozed sensuality. Score: 28/30

Nelly and Daniella danced a Paso Doble per Bruno— This was so good, unsure about that 8, but I’m not gonna hate on Derek too much. I thought he had so much power and so much control. I agree with Derek I’m that the music didn’t go with the movement but it didn’t seem appropriate for the dance. Bruno said I could see shapes and lines. You used restrained power, you put so much work into it. Carrie Ann said you danced with power and presence, so impressive. Derek said, Nelly there was definitely improvement, the focus you had was so captivating. Your side by side was so good, and you reminded me that I need to hit the gym. Score: 26/30

Nev and Jenna danced a Foxtrot per Derek to Sign of the Times by Harry Styles— This was beautiful. Nev has such a polished take on every dance and it seems like he works hard on technique. Derek said that was classic and pure foxtrot. Bruno said you are a class act. You never lost it. Carrie Ann said you have mastered the technique these past few weeks and truly become a ballroom artist. Score: 30/30

Score: 30/30

Carrie Ann said that was amazing, it felt like you were on cloud nine. Johnny agreed. Derek said it was a beautiful routine. I feel the genuine respect you have for each other as partners. Bruno said clear and everything I loved was there. Score: 30/30

Nev and Jenna danced a Contemporary to If the World Was Ending by JP Saks and Julia Michaels-- This looked genuinely complex and despite it, Nev was right there. Derek said I forgot to judge, this is so wonderful to witness and to watch. The partnership, the fluidity, and the creative-- so much goes into it, you aced it Jenna.

It felt like he was having fun, he has all season, but you can tell he worked so hard on this. The judges were all on their feet. Bruno said Nelly you nailed it. Where did you come from? It was almost miraculous. What a job! Carrie Ann said Nelly what happened? I have never seen you boogie like that before, amazing job. Derek said dude you nailed that routine. Your energy, you guys need to have more drama more often. Nelly said Daniella is so dope. Score: 30/30
