The dance floor is beginning to heal with ten celebrities fighting it out for the mirror ball trophy. This week is all about music that brings up memories from the past.
Dancing with the Stars AU is beginning to get hot. Sure we have many shirtless male dancers and, yes, a few of the male celebs, but it’s all about the heart and soul that goes into the routine. So this week’s theme is memories of the past that had a tangible impact on the remaining celebrities.
1. Michelle and Aric
Michelle danced the Tango to honour her son, Axel. It was a special moment to honour her family and her partner, Commando Steve. Craig, being Satan, called the routine d-u-l-l. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad either.
Michelle’s score is: 18
2. Constance and Gustavo
Constance’s routine this week is Contemporary to honour the kids she sponsors in Kenya. She threw everything she had at the dance, but some elements were slightly off.

4. Jett and Lily – Memories of Surf Lifesaving
Jett won a medal in surf lifesaving. His dance this week is Tango. The routine is one of his best dances over the last three weeks. He even showed the judges up by jumping up onto their desks. But, it wasn’t perfect, mistakes happened, and Craig was critical again.
Jett’s score is: 14
5. Denise and Jeremy
