Watch Jenna Dewan & Val Chmerkovskiy Unleash Their Inner ‘Animal’ on ‘Dancing With the Stars’
The actress and her pro partner brought KATSEYE's hit to the ballroom with a jive.
Jenna Dewan and her professional partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, brought KATSEYE's "Animal" to life on Dancing With the Stars with a lively jive during the Tuesday (Sept. 22) episode. The actress, dressed in a sparkly leopard-print outfit, transformed the song's fierce energy into a ballroom revamp. The dance featured fast footwork, sharp kicks, and a significant amount of attitude to amplify the choreography.
The dance floor and decor mirrored the theme, with animal-print lighting and jungle-luxe accents. This was the pair's second performance of the season, following their debut with a tango to Blondie's "Call Me." Their "Animal" jive earned three 7s from the judges, bringing their total score to 21/30. Carrie Ann Inaba praised their stronger connection, Derek Hough called the performance "fast, furious, fantastic," and Bruno Tonioli dubbed Dewan a "sexy beast." The judges noticed the improvement, giving the KATSEYE track its own flair with a high-energy jive.
