Who Left the Dance Floor on Wicked Night?
On Tuesday night, the ballroom of Dancing with the Stars transformed into the world of Oz, with dancers taking on the challenge of performing to songs from the popular musical Wicked. The guest judge for the evening was Jon M. Chu, the director of the Wicked movies, who brought a fresh perspective to the performances.
The Night Kicks Off
The night kicked off with a lively group dance, choreographed by Chris Scott, who also worked on the Wicked films. The dancers then took the stage one by one, each bringing their unique style and energy to their routines.
Standout Performances
- Alix Earle danced a jazz routine to "What Is This Feeling?" and received high praise from the judges.
- Robert Irwin danced a jazz routine to "Dancing Through Life" and received the highest scores of the season so far.
A Tough Night for Scott Hoying
However, not all performances were met with such enthusiasm. Scott Hoying, a member of the singing group Pentatonix, received the lowest scores of the night for his contemporary dance to "The Wizard and I." The judges praised his effort but noted that there were some rough spots in his routine.
The Results
In the end, it was Scott Hoying and his dance partner Rylee Arnold who were sent home, as they had the lowest combined score of the night. The judges acknowledged that it was a tough decision, as many of the dancers had shown significant improvement and put on impressive performances.
The Show Must Go On
But the show must go on, and next week, the remaining dancers will continue to battle it out on the dance floor, with the hopes of making it to the next round.
