Hop on a cross-country flight because the ballroom is going from New York City to Las Vegas, baby.
And the Blue Man Group!
And more feathers to be found than you could ever possibly need.

But were not here (only) for the feathers were here to dance.
Lets see which gambles on the ballroom floor paid off.
Juan Pablo Di Pace and Cheryl BurkeFoxtrot, Why Dont You Do Right?
by Peggy LeeHow do you come off the high of two nines?
You continue to get them.
Thats what Juan Pablo and Cheryl do with their sexy foxtrot.
The routine is about a glamorous couple who have a little-choreographed foreplay after a night out in Vegas.
Sure, why not?
Its smooth throughout and I cant get over Juan Pablos arm flourishes.
He looks like a pro!
We are truly living tonight.
This tango is ridiculous.
Its still hard to believe its only week two!
Len chides Milo for dancing down, instead of dancing his height, but otherwise, this is top-notch.
So much can go wrong even without the extra challenge of being blind.
The Paralympian is a little intimidated by the quickstep, but she fully trusts Artem.
Len thought it took a little too much time to get going, but enjoyed the performance overall.
Alans demanding a lot from Alexis, and she gets frustrated.
Our first rehearsal room walkout of the season!
Like Phoebe Buffay before her, Alexis Ren is very bendy, according to Bruno.
Carrie Ann warns that Alexiss flexibility is a strength (did you guys see those lifts?
), but can be a detriment, too.
Thats the theme for John and Emmas jive, which helps distract from the lack of actual jive content.
His flicks and kicks are lacking, but its entertaining!
Thats what Vegas is all about.
Otherwise, this pair will skate by on sheer charm.
How cute are they together?
Fingers-crossed the skunk works its way into a future routine.
Remember how great Wanya Morris and Lindsay were back in season 22?
Misty water-colored memories, ya know?
Not that her current partner isnt equally as fun to watch.
DeMarcus is so charming!
Still, he gets a lot of notes on his frame.
Carrie Ann points out that his shoulder hunches over and it creates a strange topline.
Lindsay takes the blame her arms arent long enough for his frame!
Although he seems like a great student hes taking notes!
he might not be ready for pushing.
Thats exactly what happens in this jazz-contemporary-country routine (what a combo!).
Keo and Evanna have different priorities, which is their choice.
This desert-set jive is fast and fun, just how I like my jives.
Len is a big fan (hes hot on these two now, good for them!
They just sawed Hayley in half!
Did she get paid extra this week?
That must have been uncomfortable.
They want Bobby to tone down his energy a little bit to make it let the dance shine.
Hes all performance and no technique.
I thought we had peaked with an Elvis-off, but then we got a pirate-themed paso.
I am here for this, always.
Nancy is intense and aggressive and nails her paso shapes.
Not to mention, Id like to live in her costume, should that become a thing.
Plus, she got to take a spin on a Cirque du Soleil pirate ship this week.
Tinashe knows her personally.
Her love of the music shows off in the appropriately chosen circus-themed cha cha.
Tinashe is a singer, so its not really a surprise, but still, her musicality is insane.
Len is ready to see this pair do a slower ballroom number (me too, Len!
She is living the dream, people.
Can we also take a moment of silence for Sasha and the costume he has to wear?
As if its any surprise, the couple dance a lively samba that makes Len very, very happy.
All the guy wants is a routine with the traditional dance style done properly.
In jeopardy this week are Danelle and Artem and John and Emma.
This feels a little unfair and frustrating, but thats the name of the game, people.
And with that, we say goodbye toDanelle and Artem.
Who do we think will be on the chopping block next week?
