Derek Hough & Chelsie Hightower dancing the Paso Doble (DWTS) with Mark Ballas on guitar 

This is the best dance in the history of the show.

Still the best dance on the show. Ever.

Derek and Chelsie. Such an awesome combo. I sure do miss her.

Not only are Derek and Chelsie amazing, but I love Mark on the guitar wow such a talented guy.

Her costume is gorgeous

Damn. The FOCUS!!!!! They get in the zone and the character of the dance and nothing can break it. I love how focused they are.

Still watching this in 2022! Been a fan of Chelsie since she was 18 on SYTYCD. These two are perfect together,

this was when dwts was at its best

That was literally phenomenal.

i actually found myself holding my breath during this dance. Holy cow! How intense was that!! Thats absolutely amazing & TOTALLY how the paso dobla should be!! WOW!!!!!!! thanks for posting - I missed this episode!!

As stunning now as it was then. Riveting perfection.

Derek amazing as always, and Chelsie matched him step for step....perfection

THIS literally gave me life

I envy.every person that gets to dance with Derek... ahhhhh

DEREK IS ABSOLUTLY STUNNING - SO BIG CHARISMA AND PASION IN THIS DANCE IS AMAZING... AND TOO EMMY NOMINATION FOR THIS DANCE - STUNNING :-))) Big fan from the Czech Republic, Derek...

they're amazing together!! they should definitely dance more often together. And i absolutely looove what she's wearing, it's sooo classy and sophisticated..

Chills. After all this time.

Chelsie Hightower should join the Celebrity Legs Hall of Fame.

this dance is absolutely amazing, mark is also an AMAZING guitarist! i love this music that they dance to. the intensity and passion demonstrated in this dance is perfect!

This is THE most mesmerizing performance I have seen on DWTS. Derek and Chelsie are a match made in heaven! Gorgeous!

I'm British and prefer Strictly to DWTS but I have to say the quality of dance seems higher in the states. I can't imagine our pros over here pulling something like this off.

This has to be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It just moves me. Best, Li

I miss Chelsie Hightower. She was a great addition to the show. Also, greatly miss having a live band on the show as well. DWTS isn't what it used to be.

Still watching this in 2019. I think this was the dance that for me put Derek on another level and honestly made me appreciate Chelsie more too👏👏💕💕

So beautiful choreography - EMMY nomination for Derek and Chelsie - great job :-)

From Spain, it was awesome: music, dance and attitude, well done guys, olé!

Fantastic! They really jeed to bring back Chelsie! She was amazing!

Bruno's face at 1:22 😂😂👌🏾👌🏾

Hands down best dance ever on DWTS! I hold every paso to this standard every season on DWTS! Mark, Derek, and of course Chelsie are the best!

One of my favorite dances of all time

I still come back and watch this one. Fantastic

i can watch this million times

everytime derek dances it is with so much pasion - you can feel what hes dancing He can teach me how to dance anyday!!

Til this day, the best, nothing compares!!!

@bbllllllaaa Im gonna miss him so much too!!! Season 12 is not gonna be the same without him around, hes amazing!!!

Derek and Chelsie have Emmy nomination for this dance, awesome and beautiful :-))

I was literally at this show with my niece and saw it live! We randomly got in on and extra opening in the audience that day as tourists from the southeast. Haven't seen this performance since. It was absolutely incredible but I thought it was just because I was there. But watching it here years later I see that no, it really was that outstanding... Period. Wow. Thank you for posting this!

The Dance is amazing! I love Derek Hough. And this classic spanish song - Malaguena - is superbly done by Mark Ballas!!!!

they looked like they wanted each other so badly.

Breathtaking.

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

beautiful dancing, beautiful costumes, beautiful music, beautiful dancers, beautiful chemistry, beautiful passion, my gosh this dance is just so fantastic.

That was so good! Loved it!! Derek/Chelsie & Mark too... Amazing performance!!

This is the best ever. Love the accostic guitar, the pace, the staging and the chemisty. Wowl.

oh can i please dance with this man once b4 i die ! he's the gene kelly of our era. i can't take my eyes off him ! Phenomenal !

That was perfect!

Watching again after about 7 yrs and still in awe. I hope they are both still dancing.

best music, best dance, best choreography and the best dancers. awesome stuff.. dont think i can ever see a better one.. what a performance... beyond words

Chelsie is the best Female Pro Dancer on the show.

i can watch this over and over again and be total awe of it every time...so beautiful...

That was awesome

Im going to miss him soooo much! But I cant wait for all the things he is doing this yea! He is really stepping it up.. AND, he will be back for season 13.. He said he will be back. So I really hope he comes back! :D He's my favorite dancer ever!

Loved this performance! this trio is awesome and well the song just brings back memories

Love the dance with these two, but on another note....This is exactly why Mark Ballas took this season 23 off and has been touring with his fiancé, plus getting ready for his wedding. He is so talented in so many ways!

That was the sexiest dance I have ever seen. Love it!!!

Electrifying !

I miss Derek too next season. Please, come back in season 13, DEREK - you are the best:-))

I cannot get enough of it!!!!!!!!!! Sooo perfect! It MUST win Emmy!!!

I miss Derek SO much this Season! This Paso is absolutely wild crazy! LOVE it! And, Mark at guitar...GREAT!

Oh man! I can't count how many times I watched this dance! Wow they're incredible! Best Paso by far!!!

Awesome dancing 💃 🕺🔥

I love Derek's Paso Dobles!!!

best dance on this show history ... love love love them together

Now THIS is a real paso doble. It's the classic "i hate you, i love you" movements and derek and chelsie just performed this amazingly.

Nothing better than to see dancers, dance!! Amazing!!!

Derek is a GREAT performer. This was just fantastic.

WOW - the best I have seen thus far!

I cant stop watching this, its amazing.

Can watch it again and again.. addicted to it!! Awesome!!

I love watching the judges experiences when the pros dance

The most magnificent dance EVER performed on DWTS IMHO Wow!

Wow wasnt long enough. Amazing 🇬🇧

Wow, I thought that was Derek's sister. I had to reread and double check RU-vid to ensure it was Chelsie Hightower. Impressive, Chelsie surely shows her skills and training as a ballroom dancer.

loved chelsie and sytycd, glad to see she made it on dwts...quite an accomplishment!

OMG he's playing the guitar too? he's so talented!

This is break taking. Imagine if these were the days of the MGM musicals . Two stars right here

Amazing performance!

That was amazing! I love it!

DEREK is amazing! I can't keep my eyes off him. I'm sad watching dwts this season and he's not there...

my goodness, amazing choreography & stunning performance!!! so passionate

Derek is fantastic!

Absolutely fantastic! Full marks x

I could not take my eyes off of them!!! Awesome!

DEREK IS ABSOLUTLY STUNNING DANCER - SO CHARISMA AND ELEGANT :-)
