It’s Queen Night on “Dancing with the Stars” and the couples will be dancing to music by the award winning Hall of Fame band.

And this week the couples will have to dance twice.

The night of music begins with a group number by the pro dancers.

Getting the competition started off are Amanda and Alan with a Jive to “Don’t Stop Me Now”.  Len wanted more rhythm and something special.  Derek loved the open but agreed somewhat with Len; adding it wasn’t bad but not her best.  Bruno said that it was so good as he climbed on the table.  Bruno said that Freddie would have loved it.  Carrie Ann said that everything Amanda does is great but it is becoming metronomic.  There was a lift in the dance and lifts are not allowed in the Jive.  Amanda and Alan scored 33 points for their dance.

Olivia and Val dance a Quickstep to “Fat Bottom Girls”.  Derek said that Olivia is so genuine when she dances; added that she was on point.  Bruno called Olivia a lean mean quickstep queen.  Carrie Ann said that Olivia is light on her feet and uses the whole floor.  Len liked that the dance had speed but control; adding he wanted more body contact.  Olivia and Val scored 38 points for their dance.

Iman and Daniella dance a Paso Doble to “Another One Bites the Dust”.  Bruno said that the basketball legend is now a Ballroom dancer.  Carrie Ann said that sometimes it feels like a spiritual experience.  Len said that the dance had attack and attitude; adding that he lightens up the dance floor.  Derek said that Iman oozes joy but the dance lacked posture.  Iman and Daniella scored 32 points for their dance.

Jimmie and Emma dance a Viennese Waltz to “Somebody to Love”.  Jimmie said that he learned  how to connect with the audience from Freddie Mercury.  Jimmie is on tour during the show.  Emma goies on tour with him.  Carrie Ann noted that Jimmie has been working on his lines.  Len said that Jimmie is finishing strong.  Derek loved the dance.  Bruno said that Jimmie has become a true leading man.  Jimmie gave his wife some flowers at the end of the dance.  Jimmie and Emma scored 38 points for their dance including 10’s from Derek and Bruno.

The Miz and Witney dance a Foxtrot to “Radio Gaga”.  Mike’s dad came to rehearsals this week.  Len said that Mike had a good frame but the dance needed to be more natural.  Derek noted that he was impressed.  Bruno said that The Miz needs to be more fluid.  Carrie Ann said that The Miz is too tight and needs to relax and have fun.  The Miz and Witney scored 32 points for their dance.

Jojo and Jenna Tango to “Body Language”.  Derek called it a tantalizing Tango.  Bruno called it a supermodel Tango.  Carrie Ann noted that people need to grow; adding that JoJo is growing.  Len said noted that there wasn’t enough light and shade with no slow moves.  JoJo and Jenna scored 39 points for their dance.

Suni and Sasha dance a Paso Doble to “We Will Rock You”.  Bruno said that Suni rocked the Paso.  Carrie Ann said that Suni is already a champion.  Len noted that Suni was a bit hesitant but did a sterling job.  Derek said that Suni is truly a champion.  Suni danced sick tonight – it is not covid related.  Suni and Sasha scored 33 points for their dance.

Cody and Cheryl dance a Foxtrot to “You’re My Best Friend”.  He dedicated the dance to his best friend Oscar who died in February as a result of addiction.  Carrie Ann said that she saw true joy in Cody’s dance.  Len said that overall it was well done.  Derek said that it was Cody’s best dance.  Bruno said that it was a Foxtrot glowing with affection.  Cody and Cheryl scored 34 points for their dance.

The final dance in round one is Melora and Artem with a Foxtrot to “Killer Queen”.  Melora gets a visit form the “The Bold Type” co-stars this week.  Len said that the dance was an all around polished affair.  Derek said all hair Queen Melora.  Bruno called it a full performance package.  Carrie Ann said that Melora upped everything a notch tonight. Melora thanked the judges for the “gentle kick in the butt” last week.  Melora and Artem scored 36 points for their dance.
