Frankie Muniz and Witney Carson – Quickstep – “Adventure of a Lifetime” by Coldplay
Frankie has done acting, car racing and been part of a band but he looks back at it as if it wasn’t him; he doesn’t remember it, he has had 9 concussions and a fair amount of mini-strokes (TIAs). He admits to never talking to a doctor about it. His most memorable year is 2017, he learned to live in the present and even if he doesn’t remember things, he is happy!
Len: When it was light it was fluffy, like my mom’s Yorkshire pudding. Lots of quickstep content which I appreciate, thoroughly enjoyed it and a great opening to tonight’s show and well done.
Bruno: You two really know how to put on the glitz and the glamor. You really acted like a racer determined to get across the finish line. Keep going!
Carrie Anne: There is no better moment, than the present, to express your joy. What’s most alluring about your dancing is how contagious your joy is in every movement. Your dance is clean and neat and you are back in the ballroom!!

Bruno: This was your most accomplished performance to date. Elegant. Smart. Great Posture. I am so surprised it was wonderful.
Carrie Anne: Your grandmother is right – you keep showing up and you have struggled through this process. I saw poise and elegance; a new reverence to the dance and it elevated everything you did. Well done.
Len: Congratulations, it was a very well-crafted routine, there was an ease and elegance about it and the emotion of the dance came out. You came out and did great.

Carrie Anne: Working with silks – that was the perfect blend of a newfound artistry. I saw all your inner dialogue and I feel like this is the first time we were able to see that. It was beautiful and powerful.
Len: I liked it and it was very creative, it showed your dance and athletic skills. You did great things with the silk, it was strong, powerful, dynamic and great!
