The semi-finals episode, dedicated to the music of Prince, saw couples pushing their boundaries with challenging routines. The first round highlighted established ballroom styles, while the second round introduced new dance styles, testing the versatility of each pair.
Whitney Leavitt's elimination was particularly shocking, given her strong performances throughout the season. Her average score was the highest among all contestants, demonstrating her technical skill and artistry. However, it appears that fan votes did not align with the judges' scores, leading to her departure.
Robert Irwin and Witney Carson emerged as frontrunners, consistently impressing the judges with their technique and emotional connection to the music. Alix Earle, Elaine Hendrix and Jordan Chiles also delivered memorable performances, securing their place in the finale.
The *Dancing With the Stars* Season 34 finale will feature three rounds of competition: Judges Choice, Instant Dance, and Freestyle. The winner will be crowned on November 25th on ABC and Disney+.
