Season 27 of Dancing with the Stars has officially begun! Thirteen celebrities have been paired up with DWTS Pros and are in the studio rehearsing like never before, all in hopes of winning the Mirrorball trophy. Here’s the breakdown of tonight’s routines!
Mary Lou Retton & Sasha Farber
CHA CHA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWmOYyIM784
Favorite Moment: Retton’s partnered spin during the routine! It was a good start for America’s Sweetheart, and she’ll look to build off of it.
SCORE: 19/30
1-800-868-3409
Milo Manheim & Witney Carson
CHA CHA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjSKWpno0X8
Favorite Moment: Manheim’s explosive energy at the beginning of the routine! Definitely not a zombie IRL!
SCORE: 20/30
1-800-868-3410
Evanna Lynch & Keo Motsepe
FOXTROT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrbfSg-D87M
Favorite Moment: Lynch’s great lines throughout the routine. She Ravenclawed her way into the audience’s heart, and we’re Luna Lovegooding it!
SCORE: 18/20
1-800-868-3405
Danelle Umstead & Artem Chigvintsev
FOXTROT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soZGUPb6iec
Favorite Moment: Umstead’s trust and connection with Chigvintsev. She impressed the judges and us with her awareness despite being visually-impaired!
SCORE: 18/30
1-800-868-3403
Bobby Bones & Sharna Burgess
JIVE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNYGIfQq4wI
Favorite Moment: Bones’ excitement as he finished the routine. Team #BeautyandtheGeek is FIRE!
SCORE: 20/30
1-800-868-3402
Juan Pablo Di Pace & Cheryl Burke
SALSA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7QjqKvmefs
Favorite Moment: The chemistry between Di Pace and Burke during the routine. It was a spicy salsa! We need some water!
SCORE: 22/30
1-800-868-3408
Nikki Glaser & Gleb Savchenko
SALSA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W93D9CaAed4
Favorite Moment: Glaser’s sassy struts down the steps. She might be a comedian, but she’s definitely taking this seriously.
SCORE: 17/30
1-800-868-3412
Alexis Ren & Alan Bersten
JIVE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diGyzHAyhzo
Favorite Moment: Ren’s swivels during her performance. She certainly knows her angles and how to “put on a show” thanks to being a model, and it will come in handy!
SCORE: 21/30
1-800-868-3401
John Schneider & Emma Slater
FOXTROT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cgsTG12wQ8
Favorite Moment: Schneider’s The Dukes of Hazzard classic slide across the hood of the car. BONUS: Schneider and Slater’s outfits were just the right amount of Dukes and not at all a Hazzard in our book!
SCORE: 18/30
1-800-868-3407
Tinashe & Brandon Armstrong
JIVE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRPAoo1nBjg
Favorite Moment: Tinashe’s presence on stage throughout the entire routine. She’s a performer and it translates seamlessly to the dance floor. The other couples should watch out for this pair! (Did we mention Armstrong is a first-time pro!? WOW!)
SCORE: 23/30
1-800-868-3413
Nancy McKeon & Val Chmerkovskiy
QUICKSTEP
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkfSg4cbFl0
Favorite Moment: McKeon and Chmerkovskiy’s clean movements and strong finish. They also looked like a million bucks! We love this pair, and that’s a FACT!
SCORE: 18/30
1-800-868-3411
Joe Amabile & Jenna Johnson
QUICKSTEP
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5NTU7Lz8HM
Favorite Moment: Amabile living up to his nickname, “Grocery Store Joe,” by starting the routine off in a grocery store setting! Lowest score of the night, but we can tell, he’s going to be a household favorite!
SCORE: 14/30
1-800-868-3406
DeMarcus Ware & Lindsay Arnold
CHA CHA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMyyM3hTovg
Favorite Moment: Ware’s jump over Arnold in the routine, showing that a linebacker’s agility can translate to the dance floor no problem!
SCORE: 23/30
1-800-868-3404
It’s safe to say the stars did not come to play this season! Each and every contestant gave it their all, and their first DWTS performance is in the books. Make sure to cast your votes and tune back in to ABC tomorrow night at 8/7c for part two of the Season 27 Premiere!
