Dancing with the Stars: Heather Morris and Alan Bersten Dance Energetic Jive, Maks Chmerkovskiy Injured During Rehearsal

Next, Heather Morris and Alan Bersten dance a jive to “Grown” by Little Mix. This week, Maks Chmerkovskiy is out due to a calf injury he sustained during rehearsal.

Len Goodman says the jive was too close to her hip hop background, adding that she did not dance enough actual jive. Julianne Hough calls the dance awesome, saying she loved the breakdown. Bruno Tonioli reminds her to perform as a real person and not always as a character. Carrie Ann Inaba commends her fierceness. They score a 30.
