Miles Brown and Rylee Arnold (mentored by Lindsay Arnold) – Jazz – “Space Jam” by Quad City DJ’s
Judges Comments: Mandy: “If this is any indication on how this night is going to go, I think you guys need to be in charge more often. I loved that there wasn’t a whole lot of stuff around, it was just about you dancing. You did that very well, it had energy, a great way to start.” Adam: “Miles I thought we were the same, but tonight was a slam dunk.” Val: “I loved the genre of the music, Ioved it, it was incredible.”
Judges Scores: Val 9, Mandy 9, Adam 9 = 27/30
Mackenzie Ziegler and Sage Rosen (mentored by Gleb Savchenko) – Cha Cha – “What If” by Johnny Orlando & Mackenzie Zeigler
Judges Comments: Adam: “Mackenzie my last critique is that I wanted you to give more of yourself. I don’t really don’t think there is any way that you could have given more, you are out there, you are killing it and that song is so good.” Val: “Mackenzie I want to take a second and recognize you for what you are doing for your own age, 14 years old, you record your own song, you come out here and you’ve never done cha cha, it is outside of your genre, really complex choreography and you need to be validated for that.” Mandy: “You are a great performer, there was a star quality about you tonight. I love when you came down and danced, you kept the energy. Continue to work on the partnering, it was great.”
Judges Scores: Val 9, Mandy 9, Adam 9 = 27/30
Jason Maybaum and Elliana Walmsley (mentored by Emma Slater) – Jazz – “It’s Tricky” by RUN-DMC
Judges Comments: Val: “Jay who are you? Your swag was on a hundred thousand million. That was incredible, I love how you paid homage to the heyday of hip-hop. I loved it, it was so out of anything I ever expected from you.” Mandy: “I loved that it had all the elements of a great jazz routine. It was funky, groovy and you had great lines. Tonight you were 6 foot 5 the way you danced.” Adam: “Tonight you were the leader of that dance crew, you rocked the house.”
Judges Scores: Val 9, Mandy 8, Adam 8 = 25/30
Akash Vukoti and Kamri Peterson (mentored by Witney Carson) – Charleston – “Do Your Thing” by Basement Jaxx
Judges Comments: Mandy: “The Charleston is all about moving really really fast. I am really impressed with that your feet were moving really really fast and you had to switch it off and spell, and you did it. You are the first person in the history of dancing with the stars who did a one-legged leapfrog over your partner.” Adam: “Every week you come out and it is so much fun. You have done so well in this competition.” Val: “You make intelligence look so charming.”
