Dancing with the Stars: Shawn Johnson & Derek Hough Perform ‘Best Dance’ in 15 Seasons

People

Having to recreate an iconic dance from past seasons of Dancing with the Stars proved difficult – but fun – for the All-Stars on Monday.

With creative direction left to the nonprofessionals, the third week of competition had many highs and a few lows for the contestants.

Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough Save the Best for Last

Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough closed out the night by bringing the judges – and the audience – to their feet with a high energy quickstep.

Tonioli couldn’t hide his excitement as he exclaimed, “This is incredible. The best dance I’ve seen in 15 seasons … I’m never going to forget this!” Backflips, jumping off the set and the first 9.5 of the season rounded out the performance, which earned the duo a 26.5.
