Last Week’s Episode
For Week 5, we had Daniella Karagach in the house. She started the night performing a routine filled with wow moments.
The dancers were then partnered up and had to create a routine that not only featured one of the three “Dancing With the Stars” dance moves that went viral from Daniella’s dance, but they also had to create their own viral-worthy move.
While the couples were working out their routines, Selena and Erik were struggling with coming up with their wow moment. They weren’t on the same page with things, as Erik wanted to keep it simple and Selena felt she needed to have a big moment since contemporary was her dance style.
They never did have that wow moment, and the judges weren’t impressed. The judges felt Selena stood out more, which meant Erik was eliminated.
Which dancer are you excited to see perform during Week 6?
“DWTS: The Next Pro” airs on Mondays at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC and streams the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.
