Last Week’s Episode
For Week 6, we had Witney Carson in the house. The dancers would be faced with teaching ballroom to novices, like they would have to do as pro dancers on the show.
The dancers had two days to teach the routine to these newbies. They were definitely struggling with it, especially with the short timing.
While the dancers had two days to teach the performance, it turned out to not be enough time for Nina and her partner. She took too long on Day 1 teaching him posture. She was far behind on Day 2. Her routine didn’t feature much Foxtrot, which the judges need to see.
That lack of the Foxtrot moves cost Nina, as the judges sent her home.
Which dancer are you excited to see perform during Week 7?
“DWTS: The Next Pro” airs on Mondays at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC and streams the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.
