For everyone who tuned into Dancing With The Stars Season 34, you’re aware that TikTok star Alix Earle knows what it takes to cha-cha and jive — and, after Episode 2, apparently she can seriously break it down with a shoulder freeze, too. (Anyone else gagged? No? Just me?) One thing is for sure when it comes to Earle: she is a performer.
Making her debut on the show’s Tuesday, Sept. 16 season premiere with her partner Val Chmerkovskiy, the 24-year-old revealed she’s always dreamt of being on DWTS and couldn’t wait to show everyone her competitive side and make her younger self proud. She’s been sharing her behind-the-scenes content with her fans on TikTok — including rehearsal fit-checks, GRWMs, costume reveals, and even sharing the physical and emotional toll DWTS Season 34 took on her. But, that didn’t stop her from delivering every episode.
And while Earle eventually came in second to wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin, that doesn’t take away from an entire season of iconic and memorable dances. So, if you’re looking to rewatch all of Earle’s dances from Season 34 — and curious about how she scored on each one — you’ve come to the right place. Here’s the breakdown on all of Earle’s DWTS Season 34 dances.
Week 1: Cha-Cha to “Circus” by Britney Spears
All eyes were on Earle as she delivered glitz and glam in her debut performance with Chmerkovskiy in Week 1. The couple danced the cha-cha to Britney Spears’s “Circus”. The DWTS theme for Week 1 was “Personal Anthems,” where each star chose a song they thought spoke to them and who they are. And I mean, no better song represents Earle’s confidence than a Britney Spears hit.
Earle wore a glamorous long-sleeve Latin fringe dress with white, red, and black lace. The dress complimented her well with a sharp V-neck and fringe details, including a thick, red and black choker that tied the outfit together. She wore her long blonde hair in a crimped half-up updo, and rocked a subtle smoky eye with rosy cheeks. Chmerkovskiy’s outfit complemented her well, with a white and black shirt to match (but let her shine with the red, as he should).
The couple scored a total of 13 points out of 20 — earning a 7 from Derek Hough and a 6 from Bruno Tonioli. Earle and Chmerkovskiy tied with couple Lauren Jauregui and Brandon Armstrong, behind couples Hilaria Baldwin and Gleb Savchenko, Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas, and Robert Irwin and Witney Carson.
Week 2: Jive to “Mambo No.5” by Lou Bega
In Week 2’s double-elimination round, Earle and Chmerkovskiy danced the Jive to Lou Bega’s Mambo No. 5 — and it seems to be a new fan favorite. The DWTS theme for this week was “One-Hit-Wonders,” where couples had to choose a popular song from a one-hit-wonder artist (and c’mon, they couldn’t have picked a groovier option for the jive). And did anyone see her shoulder freeze?!
Earle served 70’s glam this week with a lime-green shadow to match her green green top and fringe skirt (emphasis on the fringe), pink cheeks and lips, and tight blonde curls. Chmerkovskiy wore a bright yellow suit with an unbuttoned green undershirt to match Earle. The two are going for colour this season, and I love it.
The couple scored a total of 21 points out of 30 — earning a 7 from Carrie Ann Inaba, Hough, and Tonioli. The couple tied, once again, with Jauregui and Armstrong, and also Baldwin and Savchenko, and Elaine Hendrix and Alan Bersten. Their total for both nights now sits at 34 out of 50.
Week 3: Quickstep to “Pop Muzik” by M / Robin Scott
Earle went off for Week 3. This week, the theme was “TikTok Night,” which is absolutely perfect for this social media queen. She performed a quickstep to the TikTok-viral 1979 hit “Pop Muzik” by M / Robin Scott.” Chmerkovskiy also brought in the original choreographer who inspired the TikTok dance, Molly Long, who assisted the duo in rehearsals.
The dance also started off with a nod to Earle’s GRWM content — which we love to see.
For this dance, Earle wore a sparkling, pink, high-neck jumpsuit with a slickback ponytail. Her makeup was fun and girly with pops of pink and rhinestones on her forehead. Chmerkovskiy wore a matching pink suit — and the look is totally giving Barbie and Ken.
The couple scored a 23 out of 30 — with Inaba and Tonioli giving the duo 8s, while Hough rated the performance at a 7.
Week 4: Viennese Waltz to “Once Upon a Dream” by Lana Del Rey
Dare I say, one of the best dances of the season? Week 4 was Disney Night of DWTS, and Earle and Chmerkovskiy embodied the dark, feminine energy of Angelia Jolie’s Maleficent.
Earle went full Maleficent in a black dress and horns, while Chmerkovskiy wore a black medieval-inspired garb. They were awarded a 24 out of 30, with each judge giving the duo an 8.
Week 5: Contemporary To “Sparks” By Coldplay
If you’re not crying after this performance, are you OK? Earle took on Dedication Night with this beautiful contemporary dance in honor of her little sister, Izabel, who’s 12.
The dance put Earle and Chmerkovskiy toward the top of the leaderboard with 35 out of 40 points, second only to Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach with 36/40, and tying the duo of Robert Irwin and Witney Carson.
Week 6: Jazz To “What Is This Feeling?” By Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo
Week 6 of DWTS was Wicked Night — and it did not disappoint! Earle and Chmerkovskiy performed a jazz routine to “What Is This Feeling?” from the Wicked soundtrack, sung by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.
She received 35 out of 40 points (Tonioli, Hough, and Inaba gave her a 9, while guest judge Jon M. Chu gave her an 8), making her combined total with last week 70 out of 80, since there were no eliminations. She’s currently behind Whitney and Mark, Robert and Witney, and Jordan and Ezra on the leaderboard.
Week 7: Tango To “Bury a friend” By Billie Eilish
Halloween Night at Dancing With The Stars always produces the most iconic dances — and Earle’s tango was no exception. She and Chmerkovskiy performed a zombie-inspired dance to “Bury A Friend” by Billie Eilish, and dare I say, it was her best dance yet.
The dance earned the duo a near-perfect score: Hough, Inaba, and Tonioli all gave the pair a 10, while guest judge Cheryl Burke scored the dance a 9, saying that the dancing “breaking hold” went against ballroom guidelines for a tango. After the dance marathon, where she placed second and received four points, she was at the top of the leaderboard with 43/45 points.
Week 8: Paso Doble To “Livin’ On A Prayer” By Bon Jovi
Earle and Chmerkovskiy rocked this dance. Week 7 was Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night on DWTS, and the pair performed a fiery and passionate Paso Doble to the Bon Jovi classic.
Earle and Chmerkovskiy earned yet another near-perfect score: Hough, Inaba, and Tonioli all gave them a 10, but guest judge Flavor Flav scored the dance a 9. She was at the top of the leaderboard with 39/40.
Week 9: Foxtrot To “Singin’ In The Rain” Matthew Morrison
This was a huge night for Earle. For the DWTS 20th Anniversary Celebration, Earle and Chmerkovskiy danced an old-school Foxtrot to “Singin’ In The Rain” by Matthew Morrison — originally from the musical Singin’ In The Rain.
And finally, Earle and Chmerkovskiy got their first perfect score! All judges, including guest judge Tom Bergeron, gave the duo a 10. Well deserved, and long-awaited!
Earle also danced in the relay with former Mirrorball champ Joey Graziadei. They faced off against Robert Irwin and his relay partner, Season 32 champion Xochitl Gomez — who ended up winning the showdown and gaining two points. At the end of the episode, Earle had scored 40/42 points.
Week 10: Argentine Tango to “Little Red Corvette” Prince & Viennese Waltz to “Purple Rain” Prince
Earle ate this week up. Her and Chmerkovskiy brought the big guns for semi-finals and performed a Prince-inspired Argentine Tango to “Little Red Corvette” — and let’s just say it was hot.
With a red, sleek dress and slick-back bun, Earle scored two 9’s and one 10 on this dance.
For semi-finals, Earle performed another Prince-inspired dance, this one a passion-filled Viennese Waltz to his “Purple Rain”. They came back stronger than ever, scoring all 10s for a total of 58 out of 60, making it to the finale of DWTS season 34!
She wore a purple sparkly dress and a half-up, half-down hairstyle (and can we get a round of applause for the costume change).
FINALE: Samba to “Hip Hip Chin Chin” by Club des Belugas, Cha-Cha to “Where is My Husband” by Raye, & Freestyle to “Maneater” by Nelly Furtado X “Sports Car” by Tate McRae
Earle ended the season with a bang — and three iconic dances. She and Chmerkovskiy started out with the judges’ choice dance, a Samba to “Hip Hip Chin Chin” by Club des Belugas, and scored a perfect 30 out of 30 points.
After that, Earle and Chmerkovskiy danced a Cha-Cha to “Where is My Husband” by Raye — where they also received a perfect score.
Finally, the duo brought the house down with an iconic freestyle to a mashup of “Maneater” by Nelly Furtado and “Sports Car” by Tate McRae. They recieved — you guessed it! — a perfect 30 out of 30.
