Congratulations are in order! Laurie Hernandez and Jana Kramer — who are now in the final five! — both earned perfect scores during the Dancing With the Stars showstoppers episode on Monday, Nov. 7. The excitement was palpable as these talented contestants showcased their skills and left the audience in awe.
The 16-year-old Olympic gymnast, Laurie Hernandez, showed off her incredible flexibility during a tango with her pro partner, Val Chmerkovskiy. Their performance of the "Cell Block Tango" from the Broadway show Chicago was nothing short of spectacular, leading the judges to hold up 10s across the board. It's amazing to see how dedication and hard work can lead to such impressive results!
Jana Kramer, the star of One Tree Hill, also captivated the audience with an elegant waltz alongside her injured partner, Gleb Savchenko. Their heartfelt performance to the song "She Used To Be Mine" from Waitress on Broadway earned them a perfect score of 40 out of 40 points. Both contestants displayed resilience and talent, proving that they deserve their places in the competition.
