Dancing with the Stars: The Best Night of Dancing Is Full of Perfection and Tears

James Hinchcliffe and Sharna Burgess - Argentine Tango - "Santa Maria" by Gotan Project

[...] the dance:

It was sultry as all heck, just the way an Argentine tango should be.

[...] James is the perfect partner for tangoing, with his unflappable posture and ability to lose himself in the dance.

The difference here is that James wasn't projecting outward as we've known him to, instead, it was all about James and Sharna locking eyes and moving together, and they were fantastic.

[...] he did a handstand -- which became part of the routine after James was goofing off in practice -- on a chair at the end!

Bruno called it an Argentine Grand Prix to get a racing reference in, and he loved it.

Guys, don't try that climax at home, you won't be able to do it, no matter what you're taking.

Carrie Ann was the wet blanket, saying there were a few mistakes.

[...] not to take anything away from Terra, but Sasha has been creating dazzling choreography for the two of them, utilizing Terra's skills and pushing her to new levels.

A beautiful routine with no apparent mistakes and impressive moving from Terra, it's a high scorer.

Set in a shoe store -- because why not? -- Jana and Gleb had some problems out the gate.

[...] when they did, they put together an upbeat and energetic quickstep, complete with one of the best frontside twirly cartwheels (yeah, I'm making up names for moves now) that we've seen this season.

First of all, The Spencer Davis Group rules.

Sasha and Artem wore all black, compared to Terra's beige, making her the centerpiece of this routine, which is exactly how this trio dance should go.

With a palette of blacks and whites, the three of them put together some great choreography to use both men very well with no wasted steps.

[...] did anyone notice a slight lack of Calvin's positive energy?

[...] Laurie was smoking out there, showing off all the skills that make her the favorite in this competition.
