Jenna Johnson and Harry Shum Jr. are heading back to the Dancing With the Stars ballroom after a tense moment with judge Carrie Ann Inaba. This time, their next performance has a personal meaning.
The pair will perform a foxtrot to John Mayer’s “Stop This Train” during Tuesday, Oct. 20’s Dedication Night episode. Shum Jr., 44, is dedicating the performance to his wife, Shelby, according to ABC’s official lineup. The episode airs at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+.
The duo faces a challenging week ahead. During the Oct. 13 episode, Johnson, 32, and Shum Jr. performed a samba to Usher’s “Yeah!” featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris. While the routine earned praise for its energy, Inaba questioned the amount of traditional samba content and called out a lift in the choreography.
Johnson appeared surprised by the critique and pushed back on Inaba’s, 58, interpretation of the move, prompting a tense exchange on live television. The moment quickly became a talking point among viewers.
Johnson later shared that she had “a good cry” after the feedback, while Shum Jr. took to social media to encourage his fellow contestants to support one another. “Reminder that this is a dance show. It is supposed to be joyous,” he wrote in a post shared Oct. 16.
Now, the pair will have another opportunity to show the judges what they can do, this time with a routine honoring someone important in Shum Jr.’s life.
Dedication Night will also feature the return of former pro dancer Kym Johnson as a guest judge. The remaining couples will perform routines honoring people and places that have shaped their lives, adding an emotional element to the competition.
