The “Dancing With the Stars” semifinals were filled with emotions, tears and hit songs from musical sensation Prince.
During the Nov. 18 episode, the six remaining couples performed two routines set to the iconic musician’s songs: one that showed off their best dance style and a second, new style they hadn’t tried so far this season.
The show kicked off with an upbeat and impressive routine to “Let’s Go Crazy,” choreographed by Luam Keflezgy.
Here’s a recap of what went down during the semifinals, including the dances, scores from Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli, and who was eliminated.
