It’s Week 5 of “Dancing with the Stars” Season 34 and Dedication Night. It has been an emotional week for celebrity competitors as they choose someone in their lives who has left a lasting impact. For social media influencer Alix Earle, that person is her younger sister Izabel.
Alix Earle & Val Chmerkovskiy’s Dedication Night Performance
Earle and her professional dance partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, performed a Contemporary to “Sparks” by Coldplay.
Earle and Chmerkovskiy have been consistently delivering incredible performances. Their routine in Week 4 for Disney Night was a Viennese Waltz to “Once Upon a Dream” from “Maleficent.” It was hauntingly beautiful, and many fans feel that the pair won the night with their dance, even though they didn’t receive the highest score from the judges. This week, fans were eager to see how they would score and if they could be on top of the board again.
The pair ultimately scored out 35 of 40. Fan reactions on the official “Dancing with the Stars” Instagram post, which was shared after their dance, prove that Earle once again won over her audience. “She is so beautiful I love her so much,” a comment reads. “Crying,” another fan shared.
Alix Earle Shows a Vulnerable Side
Ahead of their performance, Earle teased what fans could expect with a video on Instagram that featured Izabel. On Tuesday, October 14, she posted a video on Instagram of her little sister and penned a sweet letter to her about watching her grow up, calling it the “biggest blessing.” She also revealed how much she has learned from her sister and how important it was for her that they get to share their story this week.
Earle reflected on her emotions in the caption. “Flooded with so many emotions this week getting to share this story is so special for me and my whole family,” she wrote. “I still get afraid to show a more vulnerable side of myself but I want to thank Val for giving me a safe space to be so open and creating a beautiful piece for us to share with the world.”
Fans have flooded the comment section with praise for Earle and excitement to see their routine. “The tears are streaming,” professional dancer Jenna Johnson reacted. “This is so sweet! Everything really does happen for a reason!” another person shared.
Other reactions include, “I’m preparing to cry at every dance tomorrow,” “so excited to see this side of you & this dance,” and “sobbing! This is so beautiful! Can’t wait.”
