Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold dance next, performing a tango to “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” by Shawn Mendes.
Carrie Ann Inaba says, while barely containing her excitement, the performance was “so good.” She commends the body contact and says that Fisher was very in control with his “swagger.” They score a 22 out of 30.

According to ABC, Fisher is an actor and singer whose credits include “Grease: LIVE,” “Moana” and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit Broadway musical “Hamilton.” “The underlying thread to all Fisher’s success across the board is music. He’s not just a multi-talented performer but also a storyteller. His influences are diverse and can be traced back to his days growing up in a football town outside of Birmingham, Alabama, where he cultivated his tastes by listening to everything from Luther Vandross to Metallica while simultaneously developing his acting skills at the Birmingham-based Red Mountain Theatre Company.” He is currently working on his first full-length album.
The star-studded lineup for the 25th season of “Dancing with the Stars” includes former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens, Hamilton’s Jordan Fisher, “Shark Tank” investor Barbara Corcoran, “Pretty Little Liars” star Sasha Pieterse and “Property Brothers” co-host Drew Scott. Other stars include Victoria Arlen, Nikki Bella and Nick Lachey. Fan-favorite pros Mark Ballas and Cheryl Burke also return to the dance floor this season, along with hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews.
The judging panel features Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli. Their scores, along with America’s votes, determine which couples will go home and which ones will advance to compete for the coveted Mirrorball trophy.
“Dancing with the Stars” airs every Monday night at 8 p.m. on ABC.
