Peta and Niall’s sound of silence will be the one routine i will never forget and never stop talking about. It was so beautiful that it brought me to tears when i watched it.

Meryl and Maks' freestyle is on another level. So emotional and beautiful!

[brendawilkins]

I think Bindi Irwin’s talent was the best considering she was one of the very few contestants EVER that had ZERO dance experience compared to all the other “competitors”.

There’s a reason why Shawn Johnson is on here like 3 times and not the other gymnasts…you can’t always liken these dances to just athletic ability. Chemistry between partners is important, and so is difficulty and execution of choreography. Shawn Johnson has all of that in spades! I didn’t get to watch her in the all star season, but watching her in her first season was such a treat for me as a young gymnast myself!

Iman and Daniella's contemporary is one of the best!!! Dani's choreo is on another level

[princessofhardrock]

Mark Ballas has to be my favorite! His dances are always so creative and challenging! Love him and sad he has retired from DWTS!

[kathleensullivan]

I wish they would bring the trios back! Whitney and Lindsey had the best trios!!!

[TheWeirdestOfBugs]

I would've added Simone Biles' contemporary, considering how technically difficult it was, and how Sasha tailored it to her strengths.

[wendybird]

Bro I've watched Iman and Daniella's halloween dance so many times I can't even count. It's so good!!

[tracytrebilcox]

Iman and Dani's contemporary was the most jaw-dropping performance, and is still one at the top of my viewing list.

[SABOREAME]

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Juan Pablo di Pace, Nicole Schersinger, Nyle DiMarco, ...All 3

[allysalawson]

Lindsey's literally should've been number 1 on this list... this feels like a "more memorable" list than a list ranking difficulty.

I don’t know why, but some of the dances make me tear up 🥹 Great video! Now I’m off to go find the full versions and cry some more 👋🏼

I miss the Trio dances. So many awesome routines.

[tainaprwells]

Love the list. Just missed Jason and Dani’s tango on Taylor Swift night. One of the best I’ve seen!

[sarahkohl]

The dance where the woman was blindfolded the whole time was really cool

[samuelcollantes]

Do your thing, without a doubt. Happy tuesday afternoon, Phoebe, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.

[Goldensunshine]

So many great performances but I like the more creative ones…Alison and Ryker’s freestyle is one of the best!

[Brassyer]

My fav remains Nick Lahey’s paso, way back in early years.

[yvettetorres]

Derek, Sharna, and Maxim are repeated in the hardest dances ever
