For the upcoming episode, they will perform a Viennese Waltz to “Gravity” by John Mayer and a Salsa to “I Like It” by Cardi B, Bad Bunny, and J Balvin. The show will also feature a group performance of Dua Lipa‘s “Dance the Night” and a special performance to Tate McRae‘s “greedy” by the professional dancers set to join the DWTS LIVE 2025 Tour.

The fan reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing their admiration for Amendola’s dedication and talent. “Danny has been the surprise of the season for me,” one fan commented, while another praised his growth over the course of the season, noting that he embodies what the show used to be before it became a popularity contest.
