The Dancing With the Starsseason finale is always one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year, as fans tune in to see celebrities and their professional partners showcase their creativity in their final, show-stopping dances.
This season, Alix Earle, Robert Irwin, Dylan Efron, Elaine Hendrix, and Jordan Chiles will perform their final dances alongside their pros for judges' points and viewer votes. The celebrities are scheduled to perform three dances in the finale, including a freestyle, an Instant Dance Challenge, and a Judge's Choice Round.
The freestyle is often considered the most important dance of the finale. It can be a make-or-break performance that could heavily influence who ultimately takes home the coveted DWTS Mirrorball Trophy.
A freestyle dance is considered a no-holds-barred performance, designed to showcase how much a celebrity has grown as a dancer over the season. It gives contestants the chance to highlight their personality, creativity, and technical skills in a show-stopping routine.
Freestyles can incorporate dances learned throughout the season, including Jive, Contemporary, Waltz, Foxtrot, Samba, Paso Doble, and Cha Cha. Or a freestyle can be an amalgamation of all of these dances into one dynamic routine.
What’s the difference between freestyle and contemporary dance?
A freestyle is unrestricted. There are no rules about style, technique, or the types of moves that can be incorporated into a routine.
Therefore, when viewers hear Judge Carrie Ann Inaba critique a lift in a routine where one isn’t required, or Bruno Tonioli urges a dancer to move their hips more, or Derek Hough offers tips on maintaining proper hold, it’s important to remember that these technical elements aren’t typically evaluated in a freestyle. However, dancers must show that they have evolved in the ballroom to the best of their abilities.
A Contemporary dance appears unrestricted. However, some elements must be met in order for it to be classified as such.
Contemporary combines elements of ballet, modern, and jazz, and typically tells a story. Technique remains important as a celebrity and pro must demonstrate their connection to one another as they execute these combined elements into one performance.
Does a freestyle dance always get a perfect score?
No freestyle performance on Dancing With the Stars is guaranteed a perfect score. Judges base their scores on the routine itself, its creativity, and the chemistry between the celebrity and their professional partner.
Historically, most freestyle performances get 10s across the board. However, there have been plenty of times when celebrities have given their all on the ballroom floor, only to face lower judges scores than anticipated.
The three-hour season finale of Dancing With the Stars airs tonight at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+. The episode airs the next day on Hulu.
