Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas’s Dedication Night Paso Doble | Dancing with the Stars

I'm really happy that Maura did a dance out of frame and she nailed it.. in a sea of only sad and serious moments, this upbeat dedication to Ireland was a breath of fresh air.

I love whatever is wrong with Mark Ballas. From the tink on his head, the flag on his back, the flag he was waving, the flag under maura's dress, inviting a champion riverdancer to dance with them... just one deeply unserious individual.

I am sorry but Mark is a genius. He knows his shit. Period. PS. Fun fact, the other day I was thinking they should incorporate irish dancing in one of the choreos. Hot damn, they read my mind! Lmao.

Hands down the most unique Paso Doble I've seen on this show!!!! 🙌🏻 Powerful, creative, and nice tribute for the country of Ireland!! Well done, Maura!!!

This was a great tribute to Ireland and I'm so glad Mark said to HELL with it! and stupid lift rule and put in those lifts anyway lmao. Maura did her country proud!

You can really see her confidence and pride in this performance. Her best performance to date this season for me. 😍😍😍

I can't stop rewatching. An irish paso doble. What a unique and memorable performance in DWTS history

I actually really liked this dance! Lots of energy throughout, especially with a song with no words! Couldn’t keep my eyes off the screen! Mark is a darn good choreographer! Amazing!

So proud, as an Irish person , we are so proud of you Maura ,mark and lucky , .. incredible ☘️☘️👏👏

I'm European and I watch DWTS US, and I'm genuinely so happy to see an Irish woman dancing and being part of this show!! 🩷 It’s such a beautiful reminder that the world is diverse and colourful, and that there's so much more to it than just America or Latin America.. Thank you for bringing a piece of your culture to the dance floor, because what you bring through your dancing is truly powerful!! Wishing you lots of luck! You're amazing!!❤

Scores: 8, 9, 9, 9. Total: 35/40.

Mark Ballas is just amazingly creative. I love him.

I tink I’ve rewatched this about 100 times already

Powerful and amazing and emotional and love it

Aaaah I love this so much!! I'm not even Irish, but I felt so connected to this dance 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
