Dance Genre: Tango
Daniel and Britt’s premiere on DWTS was electric – and not only because of their neon choice of clothing! The judges praised the performance, noting Durant’s intuitive awareness of his body, and his ‘frame’ – the positioning of a dancer’s upper body, often in relationship with their partner. The team survived the first night, ending in 6th place!
