'Dancing With the Stars' Movie Night: Breaking Down Every Dance

Week two has arrived! After the devastating first elimination on season 28 of Dancing With the Stars, the celebs were ready to work even harder during movie week. Each pair took on a different dance style to a song from a popular film during the Monday, September 30, show. One pair that didn’t compete was Ray Lewis and Cheryl Burke, as the pair had to sit the week out due to the 44-year-old former NFL star suffering from an injury.

“Due to injuries he sustained to his foot, our journey to the mirror ball ends tonight,” Burke, 35, wrote on Instagram ahead of the episode. “Ray, I wish you a safe and speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you do the squirrel dance again very soon. #TeamRAVENous.”

While the duo were training to perform a cha-cha to “Twist and Shout” from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, a foot injury that that Lewis suffered in 2010 resurfaced. He found out that he had torn three tendons in his foot and would need surgery; the doctor said if he continued dancing, it could rupture. “This is probably one of the hardest decisions of my life,” he shared during the episode. He sat in the audience while season 24 winner Rashad Jennings stepped in and danced with Burke.

From “Pretty Woman” and “Here We Go Again” from Pretty Woman and Mamma Mia! to “Shallow” and “My Heart Will Go On” from A Star Is Born and Titanic, this week had no limits!

Keep refreshing for updates all night!

Lauren and Gleb performed a tango to "Pretty Woman," and first watched the classic movie to try and get into the spirit. While Len Goodman said he was disappointed by the themed outfits, he thought the tango was "excellent."

Hannah Brown and Alan Bersten

Since the former Bachelorette was throwing a bachelorette party and was set to be the maid of honor in her best friend's wedding, Alan chose a rumba to "Hold On" from Bridesmaids. Len said she was a "lovely dancer" but Carrie Ann Inaba said it was a bit too much of a "cheerleader" dance.

Score: 21/30

Karamo Brown and Jenna Johnson

This week, the Queer Eye host danced a jive to "I'm Still Standing" from Rocketman. He was determined to earn a score above a 5 from Len and before the performance, Taren Edgerton even sent a video in, wishing them all the luck. Carrie Ann said that the reality star made "a lot of mistakes." Len then said he just hopes Karamo is happy! Unfortunately, he still gave him a 5.

Score: 16/30

Ally Brooke and Sasha Farber

Ahead of this week's dance, Ally brought Sasha back to Texas where both she and Selena Quintanilla-Pérez are from. In fact, their families are friends! The duo danced a rumba to "Dreaming of You," which really impressed the judges. Len, Carrie Ann and Bruno Tunoli all complimented the singer's accurate technique.

Scores: 24/30

Score: 23/30
