Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold earned their first-ever 'Perfect 10' for their captivating 'Halloween Night' performance on 'Dancing With The Stars.' The duo dazzled the fans and judges with their flawless routine, showing Nedoroscik's gymnastics skills and Arnold's creativity.
In the sixth round of competition on Tuesday night, the pair performed a routine on Halloween nightmares, showcasing Nedoroscik's scariest dread of pitch-black darkness. The Paris Olympics medalist suffers from no depth perception and also has a genetic disorder, making any light on his face painful.
The gymnast and pro dancer pair performed a routine on contemporary to “I Ran (So Far Away)” by Hidden Citizens. Both Nedoroscik and Arnold earned their first Perfect 10. They earned a total of 28/30 for their 'Halloween Night' performance.
Carrie Ann Inaba gave the duo a Perfect 10, issuing her first '10 out of 10' score for the season. The other two judges, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli issued nine points each to the duo. The pair's routine was a compilation of flawless challenging moves, including fall, release, and spirals.
The gymnast shared the video of their infallible performance on Instagram and wrote:
"What an experience dancing this piece of art that @ryleearnold1 choreographed! It’s been a long time since I’ve felt truly happy with how a performance went, including gymnastics, but last night was something special!! Not only was this my first 10, this was Rylee’s first 10 too 🥳!! We are blessed to be continuing our dance journey together, thank you to everyone who voted and cheered us on 🙏🏻 "
