After two weeks in the shadow of Zendaya and Valentin Chmerkovskiy, the twosome made their move with a hot jive to “Footloose.”

“There’s nothing loose about that performance,” judge Bruno Tonioli, who had a bit of a wild night in the ballroom during his commentary portion, raved. “Crisp! Tight! Precise! Actually, you’re sharper than a samurai sword.”

Carrie Ann Inaba was also floored by the pair’s energetic routine.

“That was ridiculously amazing,” she said.

Kellie and Derek’s score – 25 out of 30 (including a 9 from Brit Len Goodman) — knocked Zendaya and Val, the previous pair at the top of the leaderboard, from the No. 1 slot.

But the Disney teen and her partner didn’t fall far. Performing the Viennese waltz for Zendaya’s grandmother, the actress and Val picked up 24 points.

“The emotional connection to every single move is beyond your years,” Carrie Ann said. “You are just fascinating to watch.”

“This had a refinement, it had a quality of movement,” Len said. “You did a good job there, Jacoby!”
