Judges Comments: Mandy: “I don’t know what you did this week but you definitely ate your dance cereal. You are a new girl this week, that was so good. That was setting the bar super high in starting the show, very good.” Adam: “The critique last week is that we wanted more content and you 100% delivered on that.” Val: “I was really tough on you last week, this is exactly why I was tough on you. You totally killed it, you had a lot of confidence, keep it up. It is what I expect from you.” Judges Scores: Val 8, Mandy 8, Adam 8 = 24/30

Sky Brown and JT Church (mentored by Alan Bersten) – Cha Cha – “Just Dance” by Lady Gaga featuring Colby O’Donis

Judges Comments: Adam: “Oh my gosh, Sky you came out here and started with a backflip, so clean. That was my favorite part of the dance, so clean.” Val: “You can do anything, I believe that it is incredible. You were so much fun to watch, there is a lot of clarity, great job.” Mandy: “I just have one question, do you practice your facials as much as your steps, because your facials are on point.” Judges Scores: Val 7, Mandy 7, Adam 8 = 22/30

Sophia Pippen and Jake Monreal (mentored by Sasha Farber) – Foxtrot – “Love Story” by Taylor Swift

Judges Comments: Val: “I’m saying yes to that, that was incredible. You look like a real-life Disney Princess, great job.” Mandy: “Amazing yes, I think you look beautiful.

The steps are beautiful, you did a good job tonight.” Judges Scores: Val 7, Mandy 6, Adam 7 = 20/30

Jason Maybaum and Elliana Walmsley (mentored by Emma Slater) – Jive – “Shake It” by Metro Station

Judges Comments: Mandy: “You were out there and you said you got this, the minute you came out there. I was in love with the presence and the poise you had. I love you.

Mandla Morris and Brightyn Brems (mentored by Cheryl Burke) – Salsa – “Pump It” by The Black Eyed Peas

I want to see you embrace the genre a little more of what we are asking for.” Mandy: “I might be slightly unpopular but I think this will help you if you make it to next week. If I would take that this is a salsa, you need to get into there more.” Adam: “That dance was more of a freestyle, but performance was off the charts.” Judges Scores: Val 7, Mandy 7, Adam 8 = 22/30

Miles Brown and Rylee Arnold (mentored by Lindsay Arnold) – Argentine Tango – “I Don’t Want to Be” by Gavin DeGraw

You were expected to do a lot in that routine, you controlled all of it, I loved it.” Adam: “There was so much content, there was so much partner work, that was excellent, you should be so proud.” Val: “They said it, Miles, I am so proud, you did it and you did right with taste and tact.” Judges Scores: Val 8, Mandy 8, Adam 8 = 24/30
