What To Know
- Week 8 of Dancing With the Stars Season 34 featured the remaining eight pairs dancing to songs by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame legends.
- The cast was also divided into groups of two for team dances.
- At the end of the night, the judges scores and viewer votes will be combined and one person will be eliminated.
The competition continued on the Tuesday, November 4, episode of Dancing With the Stars. With just eight contestants left, the remaining competitors each had to dance twice on during Week 8.
First, they hit the dance floor with their pro partners to perform a previously unlearned dance. Then, the pairs were split into two teams of four for freestyle team dances. Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, Derek Hough, and guest Flavor Flav‘s scores from both dances were combined with viewer votes to determine who will be eliminated at the end of the episode.

Dylan Efron — 36/40
To kick off the night Dylan Efron performed a jive to “I’m Still Standing” by Elton John and it was jam-packed with content and choreography.
“From the floor to the roof, that dance right there was the proof,” Flavor Flav raved. Tonioli told Efron his feet were “very good” and “just missed a pass,” while Inana said, “Jive is all about athleticism and grace, the buoyancy and all that, and I feel like you definitely had all the elements, but there were three moments where you got kind of stuck on the kicks and flicks.”
After getting some boos from the crowd, Inaba also made sure to point out that Efron has come so far in the competition. “It was a great way to start the show,” Hough said, although he agreed that the reality star needed some work on his kicks and flicks. Efron earned an 8 from Inaba, 9s from Tonioli and Hough, and a 10 from Flavor Flav!
