Week 5 Recap: Dylan Efron’s Emotional Dedication Performance
Last week, Efron and Karagach delivered one of the season’s most emotional routines. The reality star performed a contemporary dance to “Rewrite the Stars” by Zac Efron and Zendaya, dedicating the number to his 5-year-old sister, Olivia.
“I wasn’t expecting to be a big brother… immediately, I was inseparable from her,” Efron shared, adding that the song was also a tribute to his older brother, Zac. “He’s always taken care of me.”
Little Olivia joined him on stage and melted hearts, saying, “I just like being with Dylan. He’s my best friend… I just feel like I’m free with him.”
The performance earned 36 out of 40, the highest score of the season. Judges were full of praise:
Bruno Tonioli called Efron “the next greatest showman” and dubbed Olivia a “prima ballerina.”
Carrie Ann Inaba said she felt the story “to the bottom of my soul.”
Derek Hough joked, “I hate you. You’re a great guy. You’re in shape. You can dance. And you’re a great brother.”
Kym Johnson added, “You are improving and becoming such a great dancer.”
Efron later shared behind-the-scenes photos with Olivia and Karagach on Instagram, thanking fans for their support.
“Dancing With the Stars” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and streams live on Disney+.
Precap: Week 6 Wicked Night— What’s In Store For DWTS Fans?
In a TikTok video, the pros revealed they had a 7 a.m. call time to perfect the complex choreography for the October 21 episode. “You’ll be rejoicifying and granting congratulations when you see this epic opening number!” read the caption.
Troupe member Carter Williams added, “We are currently learning the Wicked opening number. This is such a technical number and is probably the hardest opening number we have learned all season. We are doing all the things, especially with Jon M. Chu judging.” Chu, the director of Wicked and Wicked: For Good, joins as a special guest judge for the night.
ABC confirmed that Wicked Night will feature a mix of ballroom styles inspired by the hit musical. Fans can expect Argentine Tango, Contemporary, Foxtrot, Jazz, Rumba, and Quickstep routines.
