DWTS Season 21 week 6: Bindi & Derek - Rhumba

It's FAMOUS DANCES NIGHT on DWTS.
Bindi Irwin got the chance to recreat the dance scene from Dirty Dancing.

[@maryannanderson7517]

They nailed that lift! Everyone loves Bindi because we loved her dad, but it's good to see that she is so sweet and lovable in her own right.

[@antongreen5414]

+Maryann Anderson Really need to give her mom a lot of credit. I'm so happy she is following in her dad's footsteps.

[@lauraclaire]

I’m an Australian the Irwin’s are well loved because they are all about doing good for the environment and animals. I remember exactly where I was when the news broke of Steve’s passing. I remember the county being in shock and in mourning for the loss. He made a big positive impact in Australia. Today because of Steve a lot of us have more respect for our natural wildlife.

[@AussieTVMusic]

The thing about Bindi is she grew up in both the celebrity world and the down to earth get your hands dirty world. She'll be fine

[@MamaBoots007]

"Nobody puts Bindi in the corner!"

[@SerenaHSerena77Elvis2]

+MamaBoots1111 I think that is what the judges did when they wanted proof her dad died

[@JeanGreg53]

+Serena H (Serena77Elvis2) What are you talking about? Who wanted proof that he died?

[@SerenaHSerena77Elvis2]

+DomGreg the judges reportedly want the proof

[@isabelsummers8017]

I love it ,this my favorite song.

[@sprinklefriend]

+Serena H (Serena77Elvis2) no they didn't. it had to do with financial things... something about insurance or something. i can't remember the specifics, but it had to do with money, not judges.

[@seniorqueen08]

Bindi and Dereck really did that lift justice! I am so glad that they won.

[@BeckySilverman]

Interviewer: Derek said it's the most scared he's ever felt... Bindi: ......WHAT?!?!? xD I LOVE TEAM CRIKEY SO MUCH!

[@Thornus_______]

I loved she said what in an American accent lol

[@shaystezzzy]

I was so scared and worried about that lift.. But thank god they pulled it off. Well done.

[@Icebluegel11]

It was shaky but she stayed up

[@hayleyatwell3688]

You try lifting a full-grown person up over your head.

[@arturocortes4265]

+Hayley Atwell i noticed that she did not "trust" in Derek like Jennifer told her.

[@enidrhee-grimes7621]

I'm sure that if she didn't trust him, they wouldn't have done the lift.

[@orbitaldumpsterfire]

If anybody's curious about what they don't show you on TV, I've done this lift many times. My first partner always strong-armed it, but every partner after that did the running jump. It's easier but requires more technique because you rely on momentum. I think the reason why it was shaky is because she stopped too far away from him on the first of two jumps (the next one should have no horizontal movement) so he had to extend his arms further and use more arm strength to get her up than he would otherwise (I think she stopped a fraction of a second too long as well, reducing her speed). Your natural instinct is to stop before barrelling into somebody. However, if you wuss out and it's not fluid you screw the move before it even happens. Almost the whole thing depends on it. I spent *weeks* trying to perfect that stupid run by running towards walls. For a while, our spotters had their work cut out for them 😁. That's my lengthy two cents. I think she trusted herself less than she trusted him, but knowing how much time they had to practice, how much experience they had doing lifts, the material the dress was made out of, and every way that move could have gone terribly wrong, they did a tremendous job.

[@Michellethompson5231]

Patrick Swayze would be proud!!

[@msvampyj89]

Steve and Patrick were watching from up above!

[@Martin-es8mb]

Patrick and Steve Bindis father I'm sure both would be proud to see this.

[@alera7761]

The best couple EVER!!! Bindi & Derek were pure perfection together!

[@Trysmiling]

Fabulous!! I love the way she was nodding her head to Derek before the lift like, "Yep, I'm ready. We've got this!" Way to go!!!

[@krisstinawilson4461]

The same way Baby nodded to Johnny to "I'm ready to to do it. I trust you."

[@sallyniemzyk6964]

I am trying to understand why I started to tear up watching this! Just loved it!!!!! ❤

[@gunnyking2330]

So often this season I thought about how much Len would have loved Bindi.

[@hannahgoffinet4196]

+Gunny King Me Too!

[@amieedawn6213]

They have seriously amazing chemistry! I am sure Jennifer was proud and if Patrick were still here with us, he'd be proud too. They did Dirty Dancing justice!

[@totandey1601]

I love the way how Derek moves...so free flowing and smooth and sensible.... Inspiration

[@tapulaaialetatausoolefai972]

I love this girl Bindi, I hope she wins.

[@mikawhofan]

+Tapulaaia LetatauSoolefai baring an epic break down I think she's going to win. and good for her

[@thequackpack4787]

+Marilee Boer I hope Bindi wins too, but don't forget, nick carter is still in the competition and he is great.

[@SerenaHSerena77Elvis2]

+Tapulaaia LetatauSoolefai I doubt it after what has been said about her contract and her dad

[@madanielac]

+Serena H (Serena77Elvis2) what did she said?

[@mesquitegirl2013]

+Ma. Daniela Camacho A. The lawyer over her contract wants proof her dad is dead, I want her to go all the way, they should have asked for it before it started

[@rickstewart3584]

This is also a good tribute to Patrick bless his soul. A great man Patrick was and a fantastic dancer...

[@scoligirl5047]

I agree. Too bad he's not here to have seen this.

[@ashgonnaketchum9623]

Yes ❤️

[@ajackson9455]

Love how they went and practiced in the water like the movie!

[@haydenmack3784]

"Nobody puts Bindi in a corner". Derek is such a comedian, and seems like such a nice guy, the way he bonds with Bindi

[@survivrs]

Every time I watch this, when it comes time for the lift, every ounce of strength I have is being sent to Derek to hold her. His hair/neck was shaking, but he's strong and it was awesome. I voted for these 2 every week. They have so much fun along with so much emotion every week. Nothing less than leaving it all on the floor.

[@danaebossong9527]

Great Aussie girl and a great dancer. Who would ever believe that this beautiful young lady jumps crocs! Steve would be so proud. You go girl,

[@danicao5010]

My favorite pair of dancers paying tribute to my favorite movie. Awesome.

[@katchjosephy3284]

Derick,,, you're the most incredible dancer,,,TEACHER... you make your partners look Great,,,I can't even imagine Dancing with the Stars without you...You are soooo amazing...Love You.....

[@taraquinn453]

+Katch Josephy you clearly love him so much you can't even spell his name correctly.

[@taraquinn453]

I'm not being an asshole. I just think people should have enough respect to spell other people's names correctly. Is that so much to ask?

[@justinebranch5486]

Taraxhx No it is not... but you were rude in past comments which opens you up to negative ones...you hide behind a blue figure and want respect... that is funny.....be a real person...... or is THAT too much to ask?

[@taraquinn453]

Justine Branch I have never been rude in any comment and I am very much a real person who is not hiding from anyone. Being a fan of Derek myself, I believe that true fans would spell his name correctly. There is nothing wrong with that. But thanks for your time anyway.

[@survivrs]

God, 2 years later and I still get goosebumps when I watch Bindi and Derek dance.

[@softballluver322]

The best couple ever to compete on dancing with the Stars

[@crg5460]

I agree!! The show is not the same anymore.

[@Dirtymousey]

AGREED 100%. Currently this show has just continued downhill and I gotta come back here to watch and remind myself when it was great 😭

[@audreyodonnell2519]

Her dad was definitely there holding her up, making sure she was safe.

[@CantStayAway]

If Derek Hough walked over to me and my parents, grabbed my hand and said, "nobody puts Baby in a corner" my life would be COMPLETE!!!!!

[@shajuandacampbell1008]

My goodness!!! I just absolutely LOVE Bindi's pure heart and beautiful soul!!!

[@1991harmony]

I can't stop laughing at the rehearsal... hahahaha but I'm so proud of them, they never gave up

[@beautywithliz]

especially when they are in the water

[@yvettegonzalez6277]

So happy she won the trophy, I voted for her all the way. 💃👠

[@stefaniesantillano9133]

Derek looks amazing in that all black outfit

[@katew1791]

how adorable are they!? they're perfect together

[@leahmei3241]

Too bad she is 17 or 18 and he's in his late 20s/early 30s

[@anushkag5113]

Far fuucking out!!! I had a smile on my face the entire time!!!!

[@roseelley4470]

Perfect store well deserved! I had goosebumps all throughout the dance

[@davidcabreonmunoz6258]

RIP Patrick and Steve

[@lbarlott]

I was recently at Mountain Lake Lodge which was Kellerman's in the film. They have a lovely little museum celebrating the movie and the time the film crew spent there. I hope at some point they add Bindi's dancing to the exhibit. This recreation of that iconic dance is spot on. Just lovely.

[@SuperLoveLexi]

That lift was great! The pressure was on and they nailed it.

[@xmynationalanthemx]

Beautiful dance! Jennifer is proud and I'm sure Patrick would have been proud as well. Bindi and Derek did Dirty Dancing justice!

[@JMarieCAlove]

Watching this just gave me chills, they were that good together! Patrick Swayze would have been so proud with both of them! 😁💖

[@bellagreco9343]

LOLOL Audience knowing they gotta clap in rhythm. 😌

[@kimrube1]

I love Bindi! I think she surprised everyone at how good she is. I hope she wins. She deserves it with all the hard work she has put into this and always keeping a positive attitude. GO BINDI! 💜😄👍

[@melissadelgado7151]

Relived the moment...awesome job!

[@kylap.3358]

Jennifer Grey should be a guest judge!!!!

[@purplelove881]

I loved this dance. Bindi and Derek are wonderful together. It made me feel so good watching them do this dance. I could feel their excitement doing such an iconic dance and doing it so perfect. Love you guys so much.

[@RobertJohnson-ci5wx]

This makes me So Happy!!----Bindi was pure happiness in dance form and especially with this dance!!

[@DabneyFountain]

What a lovely young lady. Her dad would have been proud. She is spirited just like both her mom and dad. Great dancer, too.

[@Em-kg7qn]

Holy shit! They are more Johny and Baby than even the originals ever were! They have amazing chemistry!

[@AndySaenz]

Amarina E. well, even Jennifer Grey came out and told Bindi, “You’re more baby than I was. The key is to trust.”

[@gabbrady6055]

#TEAMCRIKEY forever 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 This dance was absolutely amazing

[@andreapaul9832]

Bindi Irwin is awesome, her dad will be proud

[@SuperLoveLexi]

This was a beautiful rumba one of the best.

[@carmenm.478]

She's incredible. She's making her family proud.

[@earlrodgers4952]

No sympathy votes here, because she's really good. The little Bindi is all grown up.

[@SuperLoveLexi]

Derek should totally star in Dirty Dancing Live

[@joemacinnis1972]

Her dad would be so proud of her! What a beautiful young lady she is

[@hannahbanana007x]

Wow! Bindi is a very exciting dancer to watch! She's fearless, she's elegant and she has tons of energy. I love her!!

[@shannonpaige9169]

Forever one of the best couples of thr entire series

[@jennasweeney7370]

I go back every now and then and watch these two dance together because when this season was on, I was ten years old, and I was watching every single week hoping that Bindi and Derek would win and they did! I don't even remember why but I was so obsessed with Bindi Irwin and I still kind of am, and when they won I was jumping in our house screaming with excitement. And I've never really been that excited about Dancing with the Stars but that one season I was rooting for Bindi and Derek the whole time

[@sheilagay4530]

So brilliant and they didn't ruin the real dirty dancing dance for me. Pure class.

[@crewcrew13]

This dance is brilliant! It's way better than the original, and Bindi is the best contestant ever. She rules.

[@kathryngolden3540]

i know i'm almost exactly a year late on this BUT WHEN DEREK KISSES BINDI AT 2:14 I ALMOST DIED s'cute

[@gerriswinehart820]

I watched it over & over & this video cut the kiss off. :( :(

[@adrunkgorillawithalobotomy353]

@@gerriswinehart820 Doesn't matter. She's a married lady with a baby on the way now. :-) Time flies!

[@TheBoomer1985]

Those two are so much in love. You can see it in every instance.

[@LALMCGatorsfan]

The lift is so hard to do. It was amazing to see someone do this live with everything on the line.

[@emmaraewilliams]

I like that there were sections of that dance that were exactly like the original, and then they modernized sections as well. Best of both worlds. That was great.

[@learleywells4498]

Bindi nailed it with the lift and the entire dance routine. She nailed all the way through! She had the moves right down percect just like in the movie!

[@iamBOXO]

Oh wow. I've never watched this show, I don't actually watch TV... My son asked me to look up bendy and the ink machine, and this came up... Took me straight back to being a teen. Well danced.... Gorgeous team.. ❤❤❤❤

[@MarieEbersole]

Looking at this dance, it is easy to see why they won. Bindi could play Baby in a remake.

[@theresat487]

Will miss all the people and excitement that the show always had. 2020 won't be the same...sad. Always a fun show to watch going to miss Tom and Erin too!

[@reneegeorge2369]

One of best seasons ever.

[@kimj4064]

Bindi was awesome, she's a natural.

[@vg2binkey884]

She did a fabulous job doing the dance and looked fabulous in that dress also:)

[@presleyburns8001]

"derek said hes never been so scared in his life" WHAAAT!?! 😮😟 that part cracked me up!!!!

[@catherinejones7022]

Patrick Swayze (rest his sole) would give you the thumbs up for sure, great job, very well done

[@Fidg234]

Very nice Bindi.

[@UnBroken11100]

Just watched the remake of "Dirty Dancing". During the show I just kept thinking how they should have cast Bindi and Derek!

[@crg5460]

Gretchen - I agree 😍

[@0506xjl]

I love Bindi her smile is so infectious she is so very beautiful

[@adalenapecina993]

that was awesome

bindi and Derek have such chemistry

[@kendraskeens9562]

So much pressure! I would be so nervous about doing that dance in front of the original baby herself!

[@adalenapecina5594]

Coolest lift ever

[@Shasha8674]

Awesome dancing!! I love your energy/enthusiasm! Thanks!

[@tkmaz]

All of Bindi & Derek's performances make me cry - even the happy ones!

[@isabelsummers8017]

This is my favorite dancing from this group, And my favorite songs and my favorite EP of dacning with star derek and bindi

[@Littlemisswantitall]

So much better than the dirty Dancing TV movie

[@LaSheefra]

I love bindi: have to say, for a girly who is fairly top heavy, it is hard for her to get the extension through her back in the lift. otherwise, sterling job! rooting for you from Britain :)

[@ceionscott1234]

why couldn't Derek have played johnny In the dirty dancing remake😒

[@JMarieCAlove]

Because he was either not born yet or he was just a baby then. But he really did an awesome job of portraying "Johnny" from Dirty Dancing! And Bindi nailed it with that lift! 😁

[@chloeloper696]

Jeanette Marie the remake that came out in 2017 not the original

[@rixsist7048]

Chloe Loper To be fair, most people are unaware to that remake. I wish I could make my mind unaware to it but unfortunately I watched it.

[@LadyWhitlock10]

@@chloeloper696 that wasn't a remake. That was just one of those made for TV (LIVE) versions

Loving this dance in 2019💕💕💕💕 They were so amazing together. Even Jennifer Grey said she was more Baby then she was.. The way he walks back💕💕💕 Derek & Bindi- Team Crikey🐊

Hard to believe this was 7 years ago already. Now Bindi is married and has a toddler with another unofficially on the way. Derek Hough always brought out the best in all his celebrity dance partners. I would definitely choose him for my pro. Congratulations on the Mirrorball trophy that year.
