STILL BE SENSUAL, AND STILL

I WANT HER TO STAY AT THE TOP OF
HER GAME.
SHE'S ALREADY ON A ROLL.
JUST HERE, AND THEN OPEN, AS
OPPOSED TO IN AND THEN PULL.
WATCH YOUR HANDS.
DON'T LET THEM FLY BACK.
THE FIRST TIME SHE DID THE
FOXTROT, SHE LACKED PERFORMANCE

SO THIS TIME, WE WORKED A LOT ON
CHARACTER.
LET THEM SEE FULL FOXY FOXTROT

>> Tyra: LEN?
>> THAT HAD MORE LIFTS THAN
UBER.
I'M TELLING YOU.
AND THEY WERE SPECTACULAR.
AND ALSO, IT WAS LYRICAL IN
PLACES.
I THINK THERE WAS A LITTLE
STAGGERING THING OVER THERE.
BUT ‐‐
[ BOOING ]
WOULD I TELL A LIE?
NO.
AND OUR BODIES ARE SO SIMILAR.
I HAVE A FEW MORE TATTOOS, BUT
VERY SIMILAR.

DEREK?
>> OH, MY GOSH, DANIELLA, YOU'RE
THE PLANK QUEEN.
HE'S THE BENCH PRESS KING.
SERIOUSLY, THAT WAS SO AMAZING.
THE BEGINNING, NOT ONLY THE
AMAZING LIFTS, BUT THE
CHOREOGRAPHY.
YOU'RE HITTING THE TIMING, THE
LINES, THE TEXTURES.
REALLY IMPRESSIVE.
ALSO, I CAUGHT THE, YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN, THE BASKETBALL
STUFF.
I LOVE IT.
AWESOME, REALLY AWESOME.
>> Tyra: BRUNO?
>> I'VE ALREADY CALLED A
PERSONAL TRAINER BECAUSE I'M
STARTING TO HAVE BODY ENVY.
I MEAN, THRILLING.
THOSE LIFTS, COME ON.
SOMETIMES HEART‐STOPPING.
IT'S JUST, HOW DID HE DO THAT?
THERE WAS ‐‐ THERE WAS A TINY
LITTLE STUMBLE, YOU ALMOST LOST
HER, I THOUGHT, OH, MY GOD,
SHE'S GOING TO DIE.
BUT THIS GIRL HAS SPENT SO MUCH
TIME IN ORBIT, SHE'S READY TO
JOIN SPACEX.
THEY'RE ON THE PHONE.
>> AND BLUE ORIGIN, AND VIRGIN
GALACTIC.
CARRIE ANN?
>> I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS
CORRECTLY.
BECAUSE YOU BRING SOMETHING VERY
DIFFERENT, AND I DON'T WANT
PEOPLE TO LESSEN WHAT YOU BRING
JUST BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT.
WHAT YOU BRING IS SPECTACULAR.
AND IT'S DYNAMIC, AND IT'S
ARTISTIC, AND IT'S ATHLETIC.
IT'S EVERYTHING THAT I WANT TO
SEE IN A DANCE.
GREAT JOB.
>> Tyra: YOU TRULY ARE MAKING
THESE MOMENTS HAPPEN.
I KNOW THE SOCIAL MEDIA SPHERE
IS BLOWING UP RIGHT NOW.

THE LAST DANCE OF THE NIGHT IS
FROM THE COUPLE WHO EARNED 39
FOR THEIR TANGO IN THE
REDEMPTION ROUND.
HERE ARE AMANDA AND ALAN
TRAINING FOR A CONTEMPORARY
ROUTINE TO A SONG THAT HAS A
VERY SPECIAL MEANING FOR HER.
>> THIS IS THE LAST DANCE WE GET
TO DO BEFORE THE FINALE.
I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING SPECIAL.
>> IT'S SOMETHING I THOUGHT
ABOUT HONESTLY WHEN I GOT ASKED
TO DO THIS SHOW, TO DANCE TO
NICK'S SONG, "LIVE YOUR LIFE."
ON JULY 5th OF TO 2020, I LOST
MY HUSBAND TO COVID.
NICK'S SONG "LIVE YOUR LIFE" WAS
ONE OF THE FIRST SONGS HE WROTE.
AND I THINK IT COULD BE REALLY
MEANINGFUL IF I COULD DANCE TO
IT.
>> I LOVE IT.
IT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG.
AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW TOUGH
THIS WAS FOR YOU.
>> IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD.
NICK WAS IN A DEEP COMA.
SO I WOULD SIT THERE BY HIM.
ALL I COULD DO WAS GRAB HIS
HAND.
BUT TO ME, THE POWER OF HOLDING
SOMEONE'S HAND IS SO ‐‐ THERE'S
NOTHING LIKE IT.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU HAVE
SOMEBODY THAT HAS YOU.
AND I WANTED HIM TO KNOW THAT I
HAD HIM.
WE MADE THE DECISION TO SLOWLY
TAKE HIM OFF OF ALL OF THE
MACHINES.
WE PLAYED "LIVE YOUR LIFE" ALL
DAY, AND WE SLOWLY LET HIM GO.
TO BE ABLE TO PUT A BEAUTIFUL
DANCE TO ONE OF MY HUSBAND'S
SONGS, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE
COULD BE ANYTHING MORE SPECIAL
AND MEANINGFUL TO ME.
LET'S DO THIS FOR EVERYONE WHO
HAS LOST SOMEBODY, AND FOR NICK.
