The duo rolled into the semifinals with two of their strongest dances of the entire season, showing speed, precision, emotion, and chemistry that fans have been waiting weeks to see.

Robert & Witney’s Prince Night: The Dance Everyone Is Talking About

The night kicked off with a high-energy jive to “Baby I’m a Star.” And honestly? They were the stars. The kicks were sharp, the footwork was tight, and Robert looked like he was in full beast mode — in the best way possible.

Judge Carrie Ann summed it up perfectly:
“This is how you secure your spot in the finale.”

Not only did the crowd explode in applause, but the internet basically did a backflip too.

For round two, the duo switched gears with a Viennese waltz to “WOW.” It was elegant, emotional, and showed off a new level of refinement for Robert. Smooth spins, clean lines, and a super-connected partnership — it was the complete opposite vibe of their jive, yet equally impressive.

Perfect Score + Top of the Leaderboard = Finale Energy

After both routines?
Robert and Witney stood alone at the top of the leaderboard, finishing Prince Night with a combined 59 points. Yep, they dominated both rounds.

Meanwhile, the semifinal elimination shook the ballroom: Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas were sent home — a major shocker considering their strong season.

Five couples now head into the November 25 three-hour finale. Get ready for judges’ choice rounds, instant dances, and the iconic freestyle.

Their Chemistry Is Becoming a Fan Favorite

Behind the scenes, Robert and Witney’s partnership has turned into one of the season’s most wholesome bonds. Robert even challenged Witney to earn “honorary Aussie” status, which led to her attempting an Australian accent during rehearsals. (The internet: obsessed.)

Their playful vibe is translating beautifully onto the dance floor and helping them push through the season’s intense physical demands — from nonstop rehearsals to recovery sessions with cryotherapy, saunas, and Epsom salt baths. (DWTS is no joke.)

Fan Reaction: Explosive. Immediate. And Loud.

Social media lit up the moment their jive ended. Fans praised Robert’s growth, Witney’s clean choreography, and their undeniable progress since Week 1. Many viewers now have them pinned as the potential winners of Season 34.

Entertainment outlets have noted the insane physical demands of DWTS — something Robert openly talks about — but it’s clear he has found new strength, new confidence, and a groove fans can’t get enough of.

Why Their Prince Night Dance Stands Out

Robert Irwin & Witney Carson’s Prince Night performance wasn’t just their best routine — it may be one of the defining dances of the entire season. From confidence to precision to crowd reaction, they hit every box.

With a perfect score, fan momentum, and growing chemistry, the duo is stepping into the finale with massive energy.
