That final sequence when Gleb lowered Shangela from his shoulders back down to the floor, and Shangela kept her legs straight the entire time? Halle-boo, indeed. With an assist from some excellent evil doll makeup, Shangela relished every moment on the dance floor, fully embodying her chilling character while never sacrificing technique during the number’s more acrobatic moments. When we talk about capital-A Acting during a performance, we’re talking about what Shangela - and Gleb, for that matter! - was doing throughout this routine. But Charli did not, in fact, have to dance with Pasha Pashkov on the big night rather, she and Mark delivered a creepy-gorgeous Argentine tango, featuring Exorcist-esque backbends from Charli that were truly astonishing to behold.ĭANCE STYLE: Paso Doble (to “bury a friend” by Billie Eilish)ĭaniel did, unfortunately, lose his timing a bit in the last third of this paso doble - but given the occasionally funky tempo of “bury a friend” and the periodic arrival of other troupe members on the dance floor, Daniel maintained his pace and composure quite nicely overall.ĭANCE STYLE: Jazz (to “Look What You Made Me Do” by Taylor Swift) The show tried to worry us a bit during Charli’s rehearsal package by playing up the injury flare-up Mark experienced this week. All told, Team Wicked earned 33 out of 40 points, while Team Scream dominated with 39 out of 40 points with those bonuses factored in, Trevor Donovan and Charli D’Amelio ended the night tied at the top of the leaderboard.Īs for which couple exited the competition on Monday night, keep scrolling for our complete recap of the Halloween episode’s performances and results.ĭANCE STYLE: Argentine Tango (to “Tanguera” by Fabio Hager Sexteto) In one corner, we had Team Wicked - Gabby, Shangela, Vinny, Heidi, Jordin and their respective partners - who performed to “The Witches Are Back” from Hocus Pocus 2, while Team Scream - Trevor, Charli, Wayne, Daniel and their respective partners - danced to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Heads Will Roll.”įorty more points were up for grabs from the judges after each team’s performance, and those team scores were added to each contestant’s cumulative point total for the evening. Instead, Alan Bersten - who was eliminated just last week alongside partner Jessie James Decker - emerged from the Season 31 graveyard to perform an Argentine tango with Gabby Windey.Įlsewhere in the episode, the annual-ish team dance competition returned. It was pro dancer Val Chmerkovskiy who may have gotten this week’s biggest fright, though, when he tested positive for COVID and was forced to sit out the Halloween installment. With all due respect to Bobby Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers, theirs isn’t the only graveyard smash in town.ĭancing With the Stars staged a monster mash of its own on Monday night, celebrating Halloween with a collection of scary - and often scary good - routines.
