Danny Amendola’s Semi-Finals Salsa - Dancing with the Stars

[@mimiwhite1963]

The lifts were insane. Needed more dancing for me

[@Maeve-i9j]

Witney's choreo is so entertaining and fun to watch! One of my favorite dances last night

[@Rhf2000]

Another entertaining routine 👏🏻 witney is killing with choreography this season Danny is fantastic he's really enjoying his time and make us enjoy it too

[@LovedByYou]

Witney really does choreograph things to make Danny look his best. She’s queen of salsa, and toned it down to match Danny’s more reserved personality. She was the focal point of this routine though 😂🔥🔥🔥

[@eeg0415]

Wow, all those lifts were amazing! Great job.

[@jocelyns99ify]

danny's strength is lifting and his weakness is actual dancing i'm sorry. he absolutely stumbled through the 5 steps he had

[@alisonreiff-martin7841]

The lift itself is amazing! It is the exit from that is more impressive. It is so smooth and controlled. Danny’s skills isn’t football served him well as a dancer! Fingers crossed he wins the mirrorball!!

[@marianacastillo3622]

Derek said chandlers need more salsa movements, and he just stood there and barley dance.

[@kikowgn]

U took the words out of my mouth ☠️

[@Roma-SRyan]

That's bc Brandon is terrible choreographer. All season long the judges had to find ways of telling him that because there was nothing to say about Chandler. All her issues were Brandon's fault, how do u fumble a salsa with Chandler? Whitney's choreography was superior

[@izabelladybacki-xs7vq]

@@Roma-SRyanchandler shouldn’t even be on the show she has dance experience. like wtf

[@leidenschaftfaul]

​@@izabelladybacki-xs7vq I think that ship sailed when we had people like Lindsey Sterling, JoJo Siwa, Charli D'Amelior or NICOLE SCHERZINGER on the show. Not just experienced dancers but literally, people having built their career as dancers.

[@_xkayex_]

@@izabelladybacki-xs7vq chandler hasn't danced in over ten years and plus she's not ballroom trained, it's very, very different.

[@giovana4228]

The lifts were incredible! Such a fun dance. I didn't mind the lack of salsa dancing because I had so much fun watching the entire choreo haha!

[@legoplaydoh]

My favorite team. Love the lifts. Love watching someone like Danny who has zero dance experience. This is what the show should be about.

[@eeg0415]

agree💯

[@izabelladybacki-xs7vq]

thank you!!! get chandler away. danny for the win

[@rachelalzate9915]

I agree. The dancers like Chandler are my least favorite. I like to see those with no dance experience.

[@jarodhiggs]

how can danny win a dancing competition where he doesnt dance lol

[@qelli20]

The lifts are amazing And Whitney is a genius!

[@midwestlakelife]

My favorite couple of the season. Never dreamed they'd be my favorite but they are.

[@3329-z3r]

absolutley amazing ...wow what a show ....fire

[@4cats6dogs]

I really admire Danny's dance trajectory! The lifts are insanely good and difficult. They really kick it up a notch and that ending is killer!!! Great choreography❤

[@temjo22]

Could def be one of my fav dances this season!! Witney's chorey is on another level. So creative.

[@shamanbeartwo3819]

In the spirit of Len Goodwin, "Meh, where is the ballroom?????"

[@kiwigirljacks]

Those lifts were INSANE!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@pamelaflugence3563]

Another Amazing Performance!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@carjis]

Respectfully, Danny was giving me very much ✨Reginald✨this dance

[@blahblah1939]

Sorry I know it’s a hot take but he barely dances. Witney will always be a GOAT choreographer but come on

[@jap9063]

I feel the same way. I’ll be so upset if he places higher or wins over Joey.

[@kikowgn]

Yeahh fr, he was the weakest semi finalist through the whole competition, i don't get the hype abt him

[@deanscurse]

Yeah I love her choreography but you can tell this was low-key choreographed for her to be the main attraction of the dance. Danny barely did anything besides pose and lift.

[@lindamyers951]

​@@jap9063he should. Joey gets the set up. He isn't a star. Big deal he looked for love with 20 women. Doesn't make him a star. And isn't that convenient he knew way before the others he would be on. And then Julianne set it up with her saying a Bachelor has never won. So sick of set up.

[@JuliaMay-t8l]

I agree.

[@lyricalscript4664]

One of my very favorite dances from this season! He deserved all 10s for this captivating performance.

[@maryjogreen1706]

Agree!!!!!

[@MajesticMyronn]

This felt more posey & lift heavy than it did with salsa contest…I love the creativity & willingness to push the envelope but it’s been the same thing every time with dances that require lifts… it a 8 for me!

[@samanthacromer5378]

I don't think it's the same dance over and over, but let me offer this perspective.... One of Dannys' strengths is tricks and lifts, which are not technally easy even if he and Witney make them look easy. Witney also seems to choreograph routines with her partners strengths in mind along with the framework of the dance so for Danny in dances that lifts are allowed, they will often have lifts. When she was partnered with Alfonso she choreographed to his strengths, and when she was partnered with Milo she did storytelling and energetic choreography. Dannys athletic abilities mean athletic routines.

[@MajesticMyronn]

@ no i didn’t say it’s t be dance over and over- I said the framing of it is the same… where it’s less content and just more lifts and for a show that’s about dancing u need. A balance of both!

[@avilst1765]

Same the dance was a 9 but not cause of Danny, but the parts he did were pretty good but not semi finals level.

[@avilst1765]

*so I lowered it to an 8

[@rubiginosaa]

it's a 6 for me..

[@lorenee8902]

Danny has such amazing footwork and his footwork for salsa is great wish you actually got to see it more and was actually shown off

[@louisemcd2937]

what are the people in these comments watching?? he did almost zero salsa content and witney danced around him for majority of the time

[@sabina3361]

Didn't see him dance.. All lifting.

[@michsophis6576]

Agree. The lifts were amazing. But hardly any Salsa content and dance moves

[@joycew5909]

He needs to loosen up, so stiff. Amazing with the lifts.

[@sassyrogue22]

He did 38 steps not counting lifts. That's crazy low

[@briec579]

She does most of the work.

[@krose1]

He danced salsa where??

[@Creejames]

Stop 👏🏾 playing 👏🏾 with 👏🏾 my 👏🏾 girl 👏🏾 WHITNEY 😂 I just love her !!!!! My girl should be top 2 this is crazy !

[@_youssef1989]

He had one 8 count, all lifts.

[@aydendoncevic5009]

beautiful

[@kalu9974]

him making it to the semis insteae of jenn is lowkey insane. whitney really is an excellent choreographer cause he probably wouldn't have made it past the 4th ep otherwise

[@karenalvarezcarballo]

Hope they win❤❤❤

[@leakhanijayasinghe4377]

Next level choreo❤

[@Lubbylove89]

I don't care what anyone says I wanna see these two take the trophy. He's what this show is about. Someone with zero dance experience and watching them improve from week to week. Their dances are always entertaining and I hope to see them win!

[@rubiginosaa]

I'm sorry but where is the improvement..? Not dancing and just lifting Witney around during every performance isn't indicative of improvement. He's just as stiff as he was week 1.

[@Lubbylove89]

@@rubiginosaa I said I don't care what anyone says lol. My opinion :)

[@isabellalickers4923]

0:43 imagine if this became a tiktok trend 😂

[@fernandocabanakessler3028]

Literally, Danny has ZERO dance in this choreo.

[@alexisgeorge9920]

All he does is lift and throw Witney around he can't move his hips. I'm sure their freestyle will be more of the same a bunch of lifts and tricks while Witney does all the actual dancing. I prefer their Waltz Danny is better in frame style dances. The latin dances expose him

[@rjsplaylists1056]

am i the only one who noticed at 0:19 that the left side background dancer had trouble ripping the sleeve of of danny

[@theresabarden6870]

Same with his leather jacket in another dance. His arms are so ripped and I love it!

[@giovana4228]

We all noticed it lol! Glad it didn't mess up the rest of the dance.

[@Bekind-f7j]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@f.t3322]

Chandler deserves a better score. They are not on the same level. He barely danced it was all Whitney

[@Awakenministries]

I loooooved this dance. They deserved tens!!!!

[@notapplicable4283]

Say what you will about Danny's dancing skill, but Witney without a doubt put everything into this and held nothing back in terms of Danny's potential.

[@Mpurplemea]

CIA never calls him out on the lifts💀 but does with chandler??

[@kelsirobbins9007]

Salsa allows lifts, foxtrot does not.

[@reneegeorge2369]

Where's the dancing? Its all just lifts. Witney looks HOT tho. But I prefer Chandler and Brandon's salsa way more

[@Mmkaytho23]

Witney did what she could with this song which as usual isn’t a salsa song nor the typical DWTS “salsa” song.

[@Rhf2000]

Thank you finally someone said that all the comments about lacking of salsa content is insane for me because the song is very bad choice for this style salsa needs faster song and beat so witney did amazing with the song and making danny do the best he can

[@Rhf2000]

My favorite dance of the night

[@tinaf.7941]

This guy is in the semi-finals? Hmmm...not a lot of dancing on his part but Whitney was great!

[@andersonnguyen7801]

0:44 Like Derek said, Witney almost went into the stratosphere 😂

[@beachbunny7256]

❤❤🎉🎉🎉10!!!

[@aldebaranmoon7777]

Unreal!! This deserves a perfect score

[@catherinezuklic5070]

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 should have got a 10

They have to win Whitney is the GOAT!!!!

[@claracavalcanti6846]

OH MY GOD!!!

[@SPEDITS-lr2bw]

Yk wut im tired of seeing the hate ‼️ yall wanna bring up other dancers but he actually did dance ‼️ I saw this dance more then 5 times nd I actually see him moving although there is more lifts but he still danced so y’all haters better stop ‼️

[@pamelaflugence3563]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Ella-fv4hm]

Girl he can’t dance but he can for sure lift!! He’s just so damn stiff still

[@pvrmo_]

@@SPEDITS-lr2bw he has had some great dances throughout the series. With that said this salsa did not have any content pertaining to salsa at all. I blame the music chosen more than anything else.

[@DanceQueenEva]

ok, we know that Danny can lift Witney by now.... but where is the dancing?! only posing and some clumsy steps out of rhythm...

[@bryanalexander1598]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@kmeg9260]

Literally best dance of the semi finals

[@pvrmo_]

@@kmeg9260 I’m catching on all the videos from tonight on KZbin. I’m interested in hearing why you feel this was the best dance of the semi finals. I respect your opinion but am curious to hear more of your thoughts.

[@aldebaranmoon7777]

Hands Down!!!!

[@plandl1]

Since Whitney slimmed down, daaaaamn!

[@lesliechinchilla5476]

There was BARELY any salsa content but he’s getting praised? All lifts, no dancing

[@luvlaneyluv]

No bueno. He barely danced or moved his feet. 50 secs in and he's taken 5 steps.

[@Roma-SRyan]

Amazing! Whitney is so good

[@hn9hassan376]

This deserved 10 !!! Whaaat

[@rubiginosaa]

deluded.

[@kieraoneill4601]

incredible

[@richardfiedler2201]

I've been watching DWTS since Whitney started. How does after I think three kids this woman gets more beautiful & extremely sexy WITH AGE. 🌹💖💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@lalanasneidar1517]

Two kids two boys

[@richardfiedler2201]

@lalanasneidar1517 unbelievable. Girl must live in the gym

[@photolover820]

Witney carried that dance like it feels like she is the celeb and not him…

[@kiwigirljacks]

Did he go home!? I think his dances were better than Stephen’s … if anyone went home it should be him.

[@SEGASister]

Nobody went home last night. All five couples are making it to the finale.

[@kiwigirljacks]

@ thanks! I can’t watch the show so rely on these clips and social Jedi to inform me. Interesting that there are going to be 5 couples in the finale. Don’t think they’ve had more than 4 in the past….

[@shaunduquette5992]

He was so lost at first,then Witney danced around him. Using backup dancers shows weakness too.

[@maryjogreen1706]

My favorite should been 10s!!!!!!!

[@pvrmo_]

They deserve a redemption dance for this salsa because wtf are the producers doing giving them this song for a salsa?!? I know dancing with the stars is all about promoting ballroom dancing to mainstream music but this didn’t even make sense.. the poor couple couldn’t even get a salsa basic into their routine because the song was so bad. Not cool.

[@rubiginosaa]

Such a dreadful song choice.

[@pvrmo_]

@ seriously! I genuinely feel so bad for them, especially Whitney. Shes an incredible choreographer and has done great salsas in the past and I have no doubt they could have had a better routine with way more salsa content if given a better song.

[@LevineConsulting]

That was great! Their chemistry was much better

[@amandacorey1545]

Should of been all 10s. He's really improved and you can tell he works hard.

[@yo_ne_eon]

THE BEST DANCE 🔥🔥🔥

[@edwincatalan5000]

Very sexy and oustanding !!!! Love this dance every move , lift and expression was amazing!!!

[@yo_ne_eon]

0:55 ❤😂😂

[@ShayTheAnti-Feminist]

He barely danced. This is mostly witney's fault. She didn't give him enough choreography. Oh well, he's usually stiff anyway.

[@pvrmo_]

@@ShayTheAnti-Feminist I have to disagree in this being Whitney’s fault. I blame the producers for selecting this song for them to dance Salsa to. Cardi B’s song “I Like it” does not even have the counts necessary to dance Salsa to it. The original song that Cardi B sampled from by Pete Rodriguez is a Boogaloo but has much more similarities to the counts and rhythms you’d hear in Salsa music or any song with that 1-2-3 rhythm.

[@Rhf2000]

​@@pvrmo_I could't agree more

[@loladevasconcelos330]

Witney i love you but no, what is this, the guy just doesn't dance at all

[@voraklung2797]

Better than another one but he should with dance more than this.

[@jojotherapy008]

This was HOT!! Wow

[@CajonesandCannolis]

this is so weird to watch because SALSA is such a velvety smooth dance, 🫢and this was as clunky as square wheels 🥴🥴🥴 This was basically just a gymnastics routine.🙄

[@eulahpeerycoward5081]

He didn't do a lot of dancing at all. Wasn't that supposed to be a Salsa. The male dancer is supposed have moves too not just the female.

[@sophie20001]

Did anyone feel Whitney looked unstable on this dance? Something was off.

[@destinysamuel5628]

So where was the actual salsa dancing… DWTS, please don’t pmo. Let’s not delude ourselves into thinking they’re on the same level as Chandler and Joey

[@Sunyatayoga-xc3hb]

Whitney is fearless and the lifts are amazing, he is a good partner but his dancing...... mmmm

[@cdotcdot780]

so good

[@jls521115]

He barely moves

[@luispittaalban6425]

Im latin and this is NOT salsa, this song is Hip Hop or Trap. Learn more about salsa songs before make a dance tv show please.
