This dance was INSANE!!! Honestly Stephen showed why he's here and why he's not going anywhere. Seeing him and Riley get their (and Riley's first ever) 10 was just so satisfying and so deserved Anytime you see a halloween contemporary dance, you know it's about to be amazing.
Hard to believe that Rylee is only 19 and is on a national platform to show her skills. And, Stephen...he just blended his gymnastic prowess with dance right on point. Great great routine.
The beginning up to about 00:24 was amazing cause of his commitment to the character. His little slither up Rylee and when he turned his head as he went down to the handstand gave me chills
Stephen can perform! And he has this ability to fully embody the character or vibe he’s meant to have in each dance like no one else on this season. Even on his off weeks, you can’t say you weren’t entertained. He’s just so good, especially for someone with no background in performing. Then this performance just took it to a whole new level. I was transfixed. Well done, Stephen!
ok but 0:42 is one of the most impressive damn moves ive seen a star and pro do in sync lol. That move takes so much strength and they both just skated past it with ease. This was easily Rylees best choreo and so deserving of a 10. Stephen broke out with this dance!
Agreed! He should of got 3 tens! And, also Joey should have got 3 tens as well! Joey and Stephen were the two best dancers that night! They deserve to go to the finals! I haven't been voting yet this year but when they come back November Tuesday the 12th I'm going to put in some votes for both Joey and Stephen and I have three emails to do so....I live in Canada so I can vote and I have voted in the past for contestants but a lot of times even if I did vote the person never went to the end but this time around I hope if I put in some votes this time it can help add up to everyone else's votes that other viewers put and I mean viewers do seem to like Joey and Stephen sinse they are still there so yeah if I can help it out a bit more and keep them in this they can make it all the way but I'm only one person they need the whole world on their sides to make them go all the way because both Stephen and Joey deserve to go to the very top, final two and one them deserve to win heck I'd let it be a tie for them both to win get two mirror ball trophies I know that can't happen but still they are the best two dancers this season!
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I am speechless! That was fabulous creepy! Should have got all 10s!!! His jumps felt like he was flying! He looked so light!! 💡🔦 The production of this show is incredible. The band, the costumes, the makeup, and of course the dancers are all amazing. This was amazing! Rylee’s great choreography and Stephen’s amazing athletic ability was perfection. It told such a great story and Stephen was really into his character. I held my breath through the entire routine!! Watching Stephen be this character was just off the charts!!! The choreography he is given every week is so challenging and it's hard to believe that he has zero dance experience! He is killing it!!! My absolute favorite of the night so far!!!
Definitely Stephen's best dance so far! Riley's Halloween choreography felt just as fresh and excited as Daniella's did. I hope they continue down this road for rest of the season.
Even more amazing seeing it again after the show!! Not gonna lie; I'll be watching it a bunch more times as well. Absolutely all 10s!!!! Keep it going, Stephen!! You're on FIRE!!!!
This dance was outrageously good for such a young choreographer to create and a novice dancer to learn and execute. I agree with all the positive comments I see here and can't even find words to express myself. But, I have one strong suggestion for the DWTS powers that be. SHOW us, VISUALLY, what Stephen actually sees or can't see when he is dancing and interpreting. The video clip was of a nice, frank discussion between the 2 of them, and Stephen obviously will never use his vision as an excuse....BUT, I would really like people to see what he sees to understand how much more remarkable are his accomplishments!
Felt just like a horror movie very good job Stephen and Riley. This contemporary was excellent and really showed a lot of athleticism from both of them.
This was INCREDIBLE - it reminded me a little bit of the 'Addiction' routine from SYTYCD years ago (Kayla and Kupono); just how dominant Stephen was in this routine and how much evil intent he put into even the smallest arm movements - so so good!!
I’m sooo happy for them that they got a 10 but even then, it felt underscored. The judges need to stop being so biased. I want Stephen and Rylee in the finals
I absolutely love the flipped script of all these acrobatic lifts and flips being performed by the man instead of the woman, a zombie at least! You don't expect an agile zombie! 😂 Also love the classic male gymnast clap + arm flex of victory. I can just hear Ian Gunther's "LETS GOOOO"
The best (and worst/scariest) part of this dance is when you remember that Stephen can't SEE without his glasses. He is blind while performing this dance. Yet in perfect step and time.
That must be so hard but he does it so well....Stephen deserves a spot in the finals beside Joey....and I wish they could both win, because both of them are great dancers this season on this show! I don't like anyone else I'm actually really surprised Ilona is still there she's so freaking stiff and so is Danny and Dwight! Those three need to go home! I'm sorry if that sounds mean but people have to go home and they are doing the worst I mean I'm sorry but they are not improving I don't see it at all, they are so freaking stiff looking when they move!
Someone out there's GOTTA make a Tiktok edit of him doing his cute little giggle with his glasses on and then cut to this video at 1:14 🔥🔥🔥WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED this was frikkin in him.
this and the joji waltz are some of my favorite stephen dances. I love the music, story, and the tricks!! when stephen slid into the creepy handstand crawl, it looked so cool!! go stephen and rylee!!!
He excels in contemporary and modern because it’s not so technique driven in terms of specifics that are required in other styles. With this style he has more freedom with his body and his shortcomings are hidden and even made to look beautiful!!
Celebrity/athlete status aside, Chandler’s dance won best of the night for me. Stephen’s and Joey’s dances were next in line. Choreography was so good and they have the skills to back it up. They are all locking in! Next dance is going to make or break it for them.
Stephen looked and moved like an actual contemporary or modern dancer tonight!! So so good!
This was his dance for sure! Wow.
This was amazing!
He's literally a gymnast so that makes sense
unlike Dwight
@@dailydoseofboba Contemporary is definitely his strongest dance style. It really plays into his gymnastics skills.
This dance was INSANE!!! Honestly Stephen showed why he's here and why he's not going anywhere. Seeing him and Riley get their (and Riley's first ever) 10 was just so satisfying and so deserved
Anytime you see a halloween contemporary dance, you know it's about to be amazing.
The last bit of seeing her face and then him dragging her away was horror perfection!
Yes it was Halloween horror perfection!
Hard to believe that Rylee is only 19 and is on a national platform to show her skills. And, Stephen...he just blended his gymnastic prowess with dance right on point. Great great routine.
Right? I’m just imagining how good Rylee will be in 10 years if she can create a dance this good now
I didn’t realize she was 19 until tonight, my bf and I looked it up and were stunned lol. She’s incredible.
@@kelss000that’s exactly what I was thinking. Hell even in just five years! She’s so humble and adorable too.
Rylee KILLED this choreo!! And he
Did it so well! Best dance!
Yes! Rylee is the best choreographer ever.
Wow. They really nailed that. It was such a perfect blend of athletics, dancing, and drama. It really came together.
I DONT CARE IF ANYONE FIGHTS ME BUT THIS WAS THE BEST DANCE OF THE NIGHT
I really like joey's too. but still Stephen's was better
I agree they should have gotten higher scores.
Yes yes yes. I agree with you 🎉❤
100%!!
AGREE100%
He deserved higher scores. This dance was amazing and scary. He nailed this character.
They are ripping him off every week!!
There’s something about Halloween contemporary’s that is on another level. This and Milo’s toxic contemporary are outstanding
Milo’s comtemporary with Whitney is a dance that’s ingrained in my brain😂.
i watch it like, every other week. Its actually unhealthy
I think this might be another I watch yearly lol
Iman and Dani's contemporary and Dwight and Dani's contemporary are up there too
Fr
That sweet, cute, nerdy guy turned into an absolute MONSTER in this dance, in the best possible way! I knew he was good; this was great!!
The beginning up to about 00:24 was amazing cause of his commitment to the character. His little slither up Rylee and when he turned his head as he went down to the handstand gave me chills
Best choreographer on the show. Her routines give me chills.
Stephen can perform! And he has this ability to fully embody the character or vibe he’s meant to have in each dance like no one else on this season. Even on his off weeks, you can’t say you weren’t entertained. He’s just so good, especially for someone with no background in performing. Then this performance just took it to a whole new level. I was transfixed. Well done, Stephen!
Stephen's rent was due this week. KILLED IT 🔥🔥
This one has to go down as one of the most amazing dances with Dancing with the stars,
The best dance of the night! They should have gotten 10,10,10 for this dance!
Joey should have got 3 tens as well! Joey and Stephen were the best two men dancers! They ARE the best two men dancers, I should say!
they DOMINATED this contemporary choreography!!
That was incredible. I love watching the athletes dance this season. Just gorgeous.
ok but 0:42 is one of the most impressive damn moves ive seen a star and pro do in sync lol. That move takes so much strength and they both just skated past it with ease. This was easily Rylees best choreo and so deserving of a 10. Stephen broke out with this dance!
Yes, that was a really cool move, I loved it!
A 10 from me.....Stephen and Riley never fail to entertain...love this pair..
i feel like this should have gotten 2 10's this was his best dance yet
Agreed! He should of got 3 tens! And, also Joey should have got 3 tens as well! Joey and Stephen were the two best dancers that night! They deserve to go to the finals! I haven't been voting yet this year but when they come back November Tuesday the 12th I'm going to put in some votes for both Joey and Stephen and I have three emails to do so....I live in Canada so I can vote and I have voted in the past for contestants but a lot of times even if I did vote the person never went to the end but this time around I hope if I put in some votes this time it can help add up to everyone else's votes that other viewers put and I mean viewers do seem to like Joey and Stephen sinse they are still there so yeah if I can help it out a bit more and keep them in this they can make it all the way but I'm only one person they need the whole world on their sides to make them go all the way because both Stephen and Joey deserve to go to the very top, final two and one them deserve to win heck I'd let it be a tie for them both to win get two mirror ball trophies I know that can't happen but still they are the best two dancers this season!
Keeping his adorable face in the dark was an amazing choice for this one. He was so creepy and badass in this!!! Loved it!
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I am speechless! That was fabulous creepy! Should have got all 10s!!! His jumps felt like he was flying! He looked so light!! 💡🔦 The production of this show is incredible.

The STORY! You nailed it! This wasn't just some dance moves; this told a scary STORY, from the opening "missed grab" to the final "capture"!
I couldn't believe it was him! A complete 10+!
This guy needs to make it all the way! ♥️
Joey too! Joey and Stephen deserve to be top two in the finals....and one of them need to win....I wish they both could win!
@@BleedingHeartFlowerCrying I agreed
That dance was simply brilliant!!!!!
Definitely Stephen's best dance so far! Riley's Halloween choreography felt just as fresh and excited as Daniella's did. I hope they continue down this road for rest of the season.
Stephen keeps getting better, this was a brilliant dance! Riley too. They make an excellent dancing pair. Bravo Stephen.
Even more amazing seeing it again after the show!! Not gonna lie; I'll be watching it a bunch more times as well. Absolutely all 10s!!!! Keep it going, Stephen!! You're on FIRE!!!!
Can't stop watching it also
This dance is INCREDIBLE
This was the best dance of the night and of theirs. So proud of them! ❤
This dance was outrageously good for such a young choreographer to create and a novice dancer to learn and execute. I agree with all the positive comments I see here and can't even find words to express myself. But, I have one strong suggestion for the DWTS powers that be.

This is the first dance I’ve seen of the season and I’m blown away! Gold medal for Stephen!
Someone actually said that to his face- his response: "Actually I only have two bronze medals." That line was golden though.
This was PERFECTION!! They deserved more credit in scores
Felt just like a horror movie very good job Stephen and Riley. This contemporary was excellent and really showed a lot of athleticism from both of them.
this was their best performance, riley's best choreography, and best dance of the night!!!
That was amazing! I live seeing this other side of Stephen, & how fun that must be for Riley to have him as a partner!
BEYOND SPECTACULAR!! Team Arnold Pommel for the WIN!! 🪩🪩
I really hope to see him in a Barbie movie as "Pommel Horse Ken."
Yes! Yes! Yes!! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
@@rosee7011 that would be awesome!!
HANDS DOWN THE BEST DANCE OF THE NIGHT!!!
I can’t stop watching!!
This is art
Still in awe of this spooky dance! He just gets better and better. ❤
THESE TWO ARE MY FAVORITES AND THIS WAS THEIR BEST DANCE EVER AND OF THE NIGHT!!!! THEY HAVE TO WIN!!!!!
This was INCREDIBLE - it reminded me a little bit of the 'Addiction' routine from SYTYCD years ago (Kayla and Kupono); just how dominant Stephen was in this routine and how much evil intent he put into even the smallest arm movements - so so good!!
This was his BEST DANCE BY FAR> THIS is is Style! GREAT JOB STEPHEN
he DEVOURED this
As others have commented only one thing comes to this speechless mind, WOW!!!
I’m sooo happy for them that they got a 10 but even then, it felt underscored. The judges need to stop being so biased. I want Stephen and Rylee in the finals
Best dance of the night !
Should have received all 10's !!!
My favs 💙 ❤️
This deserved a perfect score, absolutely amazing dance❤
This dance was AMAZING!!! the choreo and execution was top tier
Absolute perfection! We need them in the finals
WOW THEY KILLED IT !!
I bet Steve could barely see Rylee when he was doing that dive roll over her 😂
He also doesn’t have depth perception apparently, so nailing that without being able to decipher where she is (distance wise) is nuts
this has been stephen's best dance BY FAR
WOW!! 😮
Also that leap 😮
Choreography on point 👌🏻
Execution absolutely brilliant 👏🏻
I absolutely love the flipped script of all these acrobatic lifts and flips being performed by the man instead of the woman, a zombie at least! You don't expect an agile zombie! 😂
Also love the classic male gymnast clap + arm flex of victory. I can just hear Ian Gunther's "LETS GOOOO"
Gave me goosebumps. So good!
Wow, that was special, these 2 are giving everything for the show, they look amazing, I am super impressed, way to go !
WOWWW!! This was their best dance yet!!
This was amazing I can’t believe it wasn’t a perfect score judges robbed them
Love you Stephen!! Keep dancing and improving!!!
He needs to go to the finale!!!! ❤❤❤
They have all my votes every week😭❤️
I had chills and still do after rewatching this
Dare I say the best dance of the night?????
Yes ❤🎉
Yes❤🎉
Yes from me!
well you'd be correct!
The way Stephen moves here reminds me of Patrick Swayze's dancing. So smooth and strong.
I agree 100% There will never be another Patrick Swayze but Stephen comes close!
I KEEP REWATCHING
YES - Should have been 10, 10, 10 I hope they get to a million views! I might get them there!
He carries himself like a pro . ⭐ Quality -that dance was 🔥
The best (and worst/scariest) part of this dance is when you remember that Stephen can't SEE without his glasses. He is blind while performing this dance. Yet in perfect step and time.
That must be so hard but he does it so well....Stephen deserves a spot in the finals beside Joey....and I wish they could both win, because both of them are great dancers this season on this show! I don't like anyone else I'm actually really surprised Ilona is still there she's so freaking stiff and so is Danny and Dwight! Those three need to go home! I'm sorry if that sounds mean but people have to go home and they are doing the worst I mean I'm sorry but they are not improving I don't see it at all, they are so freaking stiff looking when they move!
It’s not that he can’t see; it’s that he has no depth perception. There’s a specially engineered contact lens he can wear instead of his glasses.
Stephen outdid himself this week!! He deserves to win DWTS 🫶🏼
that was so awesome! one of the best dances of the night!! go Team Arnold Pommel!! ⭐️⭐️
Someone out there's GOTTA make a Tiktok edit of him doing his cute little giggle with his glasses on and then cut to this video at 1:14 🔥🔥🔥WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED this was frikkin in him.
This was SO good!!! Rylees choreo was amazing!! I need them in finals
Had to watch this dance in the dark and was still SO GOOD
Wowza they nailed it tonight. Fantastic performance! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
BEST dance of the night!
this and the joji waltz are some of my favorite stephen dances. I love the music, story, and the tricks!! when stephen slid into the creepy handstand crawl, it looked so cool!! go stephen and rylee!!!
Powerful performance!
This was insane!! Deserved the perfect score 🥹
Contemporary is the perfect dance for a gymnast.
Perfection!
He excels in contemporary and modern because it’s not so technique driven in terms of specifics that are required in other styles. With this style he has more freedom with his body and his shortcomings are hidden and even made to look beautiful!!
CHILLS the whole way through!!
That was incredible!
Blew me away with this dance 😭
definitely deserved another 10! when he jumped and rolled over her… omg. i was like THAT WAS HIS MOMENT!!!
STEPHENS BEST DANCE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
BEST DANCE OF THE NIGHT🎉🎉
Stephen did it great! I was appalled to see him on the bottom three!
Wow, I completely forgot Stephen wasn’t a professional dancer while watching this
Can't quit watching this.
This was incredible
That was really good!!!
Celebrity/athlete status aside, Chandler’s dance won best of the night for me. Stephen’s and Joey’s dances were next in line. Choreography was so good and they have the skills to back it up. They are all locking in! Next dance is going to make or break it for them.
0:14 so creepy & yet was such a good move & at 0:43 & at 0:48 it all went so well with the song, this was definitely my favorite dance from these two!
This looks like a Freestyle routine during the Finals!
Holy shit! That was FIRE!!!!
He is amazing
Outstanding! It gets more intense the more and more I watch it!
This was insaneeee❤❤❤
Mega quality professionalism artistic choreography outstanding!! Tasteful I can play it continuously great performance and team!
