[@AlfieMaxy-Kid81]

2006 Its Not Unusual

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

Awesome video!

[@sharonkeegan246]

Kellie Pickler’s freestyle

[@lynnxstitchescreates]

Nastia Lukin’s Charleston while Andy Grammar sang live

[@marla_arbogast]

Milo’s and Whitney’s Toxic Dance Will ALWAAAYYYS be my favorite dance, and the reason I fell in love with the show

[@kirogurl]

You missed Ryker Lynch and Allison Holkers Pasa Doble to the Pirates of the Caribbean.

[@emerysays]

And their trio. One of the best technically danced in DWTS history.

[@Helga947]

This channel keeps doing that when that is the definition of iconic.

[@judysitt6886]

Meryl and Maks’ Feel So Close!!! The beginning gives me chills

[@brooklynnking6652]

i love Charli and Mark and I am surprised to see their jazz and not their Viennese Waltz on this list. the jazz was good but nothing can compare to that waltz that season

[@SabineHolterman]

You need to do a part two. There were so many dances you didn't have on the list! Mark and Sadie - Mario Freestyle Joey Fatone - Zorro Paso Doble, Last Dance Freestyle (A Staple of Dance Studio Friday Night Ballroom Dance Parties!) Apollo Antone Ohno - My Darling Clementine Paso Doble, It Takes Two Freestyle Donald Driver - I Played Chicken with the Train Freestyle Sabrina Bryan - You Spin Me Round - Paso Doble (She Should have won her season!) Shawn Johnson - PYT Cha Cha Helio Castroneves - Mask Quickstep Kellie Pickler - Emotional Freestyle, Lights Jazz There are so many more! I could go on and on! You should do a whole series of the top 20 of each dance style!

[@syedalihasan8923]

Mel B and Maks's Paso Doble, Apolo and Julianne's Samba, and Helio and Julianne's Quickstep were also pretty iconic!! Glad Zendaya and Val's Argentine Tango with Maks and Anna made the list!

[@kyology_y7402]

i was WAITINGGGG for xochitl gomez... shes one of my favs :)

[@klrmsg]

Another of Nyle and Peta's dances that was absolutely amazing was their Paso Doble when they cut the sound and the audience got to experience dance from his perspective for a moment.

[@missfeliciah]

Top 10 Guest/Dance Troupe Dances on DWTS would be good list- the “Dedication Night” dance that Derek and his wife Hayley just did a few weeks ago literally brought me to tears 😭

[@splash8239]

not having any juan pablo's dances actually ranked on this is criminal. his argentine tango!!!! his semi-finals salsa!!!!!!!!

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

I love these Dancing With The Stars moments!

[@eternasapphiremoon81]

I'd say anything with Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas! All of their dances have been phenomenal - at least to me anyway. Their Argentine Tango to 'I Am Human' (Lindsey really nailed those robotic movements and that back leg almost touched her head at one point!), their jitterbug to 'Wake Me Up (Before you Go-Go)' was so infectious! The Saddest/impactful moment (Lindsey losing her father) had me tearing up, especially when it was revealed that Mark was wearing her father's hat and scarf and that last bit dancing with the shadow was so good! The Paso Doble Dia de los Muertos-inspired dace to Lindsey's 'Roundtable Rival' was phenomenal as well...considering she did that and the team Halloween dance with a rib injury! One of their finale dances (I forget the song but it was a freestyle dance) had Lindsey actually playing her violin - and not just playing it, but doing so while doing the ballroom dance part, picked up, flipped, spun around... She truly is a maestro in her craft, and Mark Ballas was the perfect partner to help add to that creative spark.

[@thistlecreek1]

Their routine to Roundtable Rival was on fire!

[@brianagrzybowski4734]

It’s tough to say. 😬 There are so many that come to mind: James and Sharna’s freestyle, Amanda and Alan’s contemporary, JR and Karina’s rumba, Nick and Sharna’s contemporary, Apolo and Karina’s Viennese waltz, Sabrina and Mark’s paso doble… can’t you tell I’ve been a DWTS fan for a long time? 😅

[@starchanneljoseph]

Thank you for mentioning Amanda and Alan’s contemporary because lots of people forget how absolutely moving that was, one of the best of that season

[@songbirdserenade2542]

Honorable mention: Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart jazz routine

[@kassandravitela8032]

There are really so many more that were amazing. This list definitely needs a part 2 and part 3 and ...

[@katietheallstar]

6:34 Iman and Daniella didn’t only get one perfect score in their season. 🙄

[@annie53211]

18:28 this dance and jordan’s jive are literally my two fav dances of the entire show

[@mariahkelso3665]

I can see Mark saying "D'oh!" when he slipped off the couch. In The Simpsons theme. Love Disturbed's cover version of "Sounds of Silents" There is so much to say, but when it comes to dancing, everyone is on fire.

[@rebeccapeterson7867]

I would have liked to see Kellie pickler and Derek’s freestyle make the list. And mark ballas and Sadie had some fun dances that were memorable.

[@ForrestFox626]

I kind of this Kellie's freestyle was underwhelming

[@rhondadrummonds9439]

I'm really surprised Kelly Pickler didn't make the list, but I have no issues with number 1.

[@danagr28]

And none a single mention of Shawn Johnson?

[@jessicamagri8211]

Yeah, I really thought one of her dances would’ve made it onto here somehow!

[@TheReedBriana]

For real. Where's Jabberwoke? Or PYT?

[@charlestoti2252]

her mambo and freestyles were incredible

[@ForrestFox626]

That's how I felt every time they ignore Kristi

[@jessicamagri8211]

@ oh yeah, she had some great dances too!

[@mariajcalderon4116]

Lindsey Stirling's freestyle and argentine tango deserves a place here, even the freestyle was on tendence on KZbin...

[@spooningbards9138]

Mark Ballas and Lindsey Stirling's 'Human argentine tango should have been on here!

[@Teagan-w5h]

You missed Charli D'ameilo and Mark Ballas contemporary to when the party's over

[@Churchgirl104]

James & petas finale rountine or one where I remember it was really incredible how it was done James had this stick thing that was awesome , riker & alison pirates of the Caribbean dance loved it still to this day !! Meryl & maks almost all their dances gives me all the feels ! Iman & Daniella’s horror night number , Milo & Whitney’s toxic routine, I remember amber Riley & Derek did this awesome country dance if I recall correctly anyway on to Another pair Laurie and Val Chicago routine , Alfonso & Whitney’s Carlton dance , and one of all time faves from this show Bindi & Derek footprints in the sand dance still makes emotional every time I see it love reliving these dances thanks

[@nicolelylewis]

I’m so glad Bindi and Derek were on here, but where was Kellie and Derek’s freestyle?!?

[@marieneu264]

Nikki and Artem’s dance to the 50 shades of gray song was one of my very favorites. So sad to hear their marriage has fallen apart and even more sad that abuse is involved by both parties.

[@abbeyclayton8734]

Mark and Charlis Viennese waltz not being on here is heartbreaking that was the most beautiful dance with so much meaning and Len LOVED it and Bruno said she looked like a ballerina and Dereck said she is the only celeb to look like a ball room dance after that routine

[@vanessastegall]

Apollo and Julianne’s freestyle was epic.

[@kaylajones4356]

Never been this early for a msmojo vid.

[@angeld3654]

Amazing dances just woww!! I love Charli's Simpsons dance, Milo's Toxic dance, iman's us dance, James' Suicide Squad dance, Bindi's contemporary, Alfonso's dance, and Jordan's dance!! I Also love Frankie's dance to Shake by Pittbull!!!

[@samuelcollantes1175]

Definitely Lach. Happy tuesday afternoon, Emily, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well

[@AdriR89]

For me, Gilles Marini's Argentine Tango will always be the greatest performance in DWTS!!!

[@perpetual61]

I agree there has never been an Argentine Tango at least for me that ever equals there's.

[@krisstinawilson4461]

**Should have been on this list in my opinion** Kelly Monaco freestyle to "Let's Get Loud" Evanna Lynch jive to "Heat Wave" (Also the group number from that season to "9 To 5" Bindi Irwin jive to "Crocodile Rock" Jana Kramer contemporary to "In My Daughter's Eyes"

[@myth-n-m4yhem]

I ❤all the pros...but... Derek Hough will always be my favorite.

[@kunzitecarrie1055]

Ahhh.... Meryl and Maks!!!! I miss them so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@maryspeer7229]

Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater's contemporary dance to "Ghost."

[@BethelAbba]

it's not DWTS, but the interpretive dance routine for Neyo's Mad done in 2010 was pure magic to watch. I've never seen another dance routine since then that catches the tone and sensitivity of the song, and reflects so well in the choreography of the two dancers. This one was pure gold, and more people should catch it / learn about it.

[@daniellebelisle2446]

The #1 pick is my life’s obsession 😂

[@daniellaa9204]

Love it

[@nadiaroberts9857]

What about cheryl burke and emmitt smith and how he earned the name tinkletoes

[@trasegorsuch5140]

Honorable Mentions in a Top 20 list? That’s a new one.

[@mikayladudley2819]

no riker and allison, no heather and maks (especially their rumba), no nev and jenna. terrible list

[@nbkhmb5]

Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough’s tango was one of the best ever. And this so called number 1 pick was a joke. She was a recent gold medal winning ice DANCER. No one even remembers her bc she was never a “star”. I’m glad Maks won a trophy even if it was with a ringer.

[@zenfrodo]

What, no Bill Engvall? After seeing his comedy bit on how much torture he went thru while praying to be eliminated, I thought for sure his last appearance would get an honorable mention, at least.

[@danijones8862]

The Simpsons dance has to be my most least favorite dance of all time like I literally went to the bathroom during that routine when I watched it for the first time and then I tried to watch it again and I was like😂😭

[@sydneycolquitt2189]

I'm surprised Amber and Derek weren't actually included on the list.

[@janicehanson8688]

They are!

[@myth-n-m4yhem]

not so much the pro but the connection between partners

[@melisasueldo24]

iman and daniella had more perfect scores during the season, like their two finale dances got 40/40

[@laurarossi8678]

Mark and sadies mario dance

[@pattiebraymanskelly954]

Missing Lindsay Stirling...she had some AMAZING dances

[@eternasapphiremoon81]

AGREED! I just made a post about that too. Mark Ballas was the perfect partner for her, adding to her creativity. I really loved their Paso Doble to her own song, and that freestyle where she was playing the violin! That was the only reason I wanted the entire season (or watched it in general for that matter)

[@ForrestFox626]

No this list won't cause controversy

[@ArtByDesign80]

In MOST of these couples I have NO CLUE who the “star” is!

[@CharlieHepp]

Mel B and Maks's Paso Doble, Apolo and Julianne's Samba, and Helio and Julianne's Quickstep were also pretty iconic!! Glad Zendaya and Val's Argentine Tango with Maks and Anna made the list! I can see Mark saying "D'oh!" when he slipped off the couch. In The Simpsons theme.

[@catsend]

There’s only one number one. Season two winning freestyle.

[@Rapha2587]

People in this show have no idea of what Samba really is.

[@karenfrances64]

You should have included the rumble dance with Gillis Marini and Peta that they did to I Will Always Love You. It was very sexy and made Carrie Ann fall out of her chair

[@cecebean626]

NO SHAWN JOHNSON ON EITHER OF HER RUNS?!?!?!?!

[@annakacurrie4675]

Iman got perfect scores in the finale right?

[@nicolelylewis]

6:10 so Whitney didn’t come up with that move? Interesting that it’s going viral now and not then…..

[@Adamayepoh]

Dwts was not big on social media yet. With the help of social media and streaming, more people are watching this season than Iman's season, so certain dances go viral. If Disney and ABC were to stream the older seasons, for sure the earlier dances would get some recognition.

[@stevensingleton9767]

Nickelodeon and Disney channel

[@jesusangelrondon]

She said ten but listed twenty?

[@catsend]

Ten was the score

[@elizabethlewis8161]

Jenna and JoJo's Angentine tango wasn't even the best argentine tango to santa maria

[@ithilverde]

what i got from this video was, mostly, wtf are those people?

[@maridiperez3185]

third

[@ithilverde]

did she say gasolina is SAMBA???????????? wtf

[@motherlove202]

That was the type of dance they performed

[@ithilverde]

​@motherlove202 not even in the foulest smelling corner of hell is this samba​@@motherlove202

[@emmabelle9176]

Xochitl

[@aliciaennis4676]

How did Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas' Freestyle not make this list? Who else could pull off playing a violin while your dance partner is lifting and swinging you around?

[@AlfieMaxy-Kid81]

First

[@luvlyvibez9105]

Lol u were second
