The trio dance styles include the Jive, Paso Doble, Samba and Salsa.
On last week’s episode of DWTS Nastia performed a 80s Modern Charleston routine and the judges scored Nastia a 38/40 for her performance. Julianne loved her performance and had this to say, “You did amazing Sasha, taking over for Derek. Nastia you did great, this was hard in general, you guys killed that dance.”

Judges’ comments: Len: “I liked it, it was ok.” Julianne: “I first have to say that Derek looks ridiculous, I felt you were both out of sync, but you did get into character.” Bruno: “It was dirty, when you get so much into character though you lose artistry, but amazing performance.” Carrie Ann: “What I love is that you are still really performing Nastia, push and go beyond the boundaries.”
JUDGES SCORES: Carrie Ann: 9 Len: 9 Julianne: 9 Bruno: 9 = TOTAL 36/40
