The five remaining couples on “Dancing With the Stars” season 34 are prepping for the “DWTS” finale next week. However, we wanted to take a look back at the performances so far this season. While the freestyle dances during the finals are always some of the best of the season, we have had our share of amazing performances on “Dancing With the Stars” 2025, so check out our Top 10 below.
10. Andy Richter & Emma Slater TikTok Night Foxtrot
I feel this was the moment, even though it took place during week 3 of “Dancing With the Stars” season 34, that America fell in love with Andy. That Hozier moment, and the grabbing of the camera. He was destined to make it another six weeks in the competition.
9. Jordan Chiles & Ezra Sosa Halloween Night Contemporary on ‘Dancing With the Stars’
While the judges weren’t fans of the harness, I thought they did a great job with it. It was a great addition, and I felt the dance started so strongly with them using it. I loved their makeup, and they felt so free on this dance.
8. Dylan Efron & Daniella Karagach Dedication Night Contemporary
While America fell in love with Andy during week 3, I think they fell in love even more with Dylan during his week 5 performance. He dedicated the routine to his younger sister, Olivia. She also joined him on the dance floor during the routine. I feel he seemed to knock down some walls on this night, and it showed a new side for America to love.
7. Elaine Hendrix & Alan Bersten Wicked Night Contemporary
I mean, it was Wicked Night, and this was a dance to “Defying Gravity.” Enough said, right? Elaine has been solid all year, but the ending of this one was too much not to include it on the list.
6. Whitney Leavitt & Mark Ballas Prince Night Viennese Waltz on ‘Dancing With the Stars’
Whitney & Mark had some of the highest scores of the season, which made their elimination extra shocking last night. While they are no longer competing on “Dancing With the Stars” season 34, I think they went out with a bang with this Viennese Waltz performance. It was simple, yet so elegant. I feel they were so in sync, and it was just a very polished performance.
5. Jordan & Ezra Prince Night Argentine Tango
The first perfect score of the season came at the perfect time: the semifinals! The kicks were great with this, and they had so many tricks worked into the routine. Ezra was whipping her around in the air, and it was such a solid performance on “Dancing With the Stars” 2025.
4. Robert Irwin & Witney Carson 20th Birthday Party Foxtrot
The emotions were high with this one, as the dance was inspired by his sister’s dance with Derek Hough during her season, which was dedicated to their father. Robert does so good at showing his emotions, and it came out in this routine. He dances very well with his partner, but it ends with a video of their dad on the dance floor, and everyone is a blubbering mess.
3. Dylan & Daniella 20th Birthday Party Argentine Tango on ‘Dancing With the Stars’
The 20th Birthday Party brought plenty of good performances. While this was a more serious dance, Dylan has become more and more relaxed and comfortable on the dance floor. And how could I not include this one, which had the viral air walk moment even Daniella’s husband recreated with their daughter.
2. Alix Earle & Val Chmerkovskiy Prince Night Viennese Waltz
As Carrie Ann Inaba said last night, a performance like this will go down in “Dancing With the Stars” history. Alix has been improving every week, and I truly do think she could win it all next week. They perform so well together, and this was one of their best of the season.
1 – Robert & Witney Dedication Night Contemporary
Robert & Witney had no dry eyes in the ballroom after their Dedication Night performance. This one was dedicated to his mother, who joined him during the performance. I knew I would be a mess after this routine, and I wasn’t wrong. It was beyond emotional, and the ending with his mom was so touching. By far, the best performance of the season.
“Dancing With the Stars” season 34 airs live on Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, and streams the next day on Hulu.
