Tonight is Dedicated Dance week on DWTS and the celebs are gearing up to perform a tribute to someone special in their lives.
Erica Cody chose Samantha Mumba to dedicate her dance to, sharing her reasons for choosing the singer Erica wrote, “This woman opened doors that I could only dream of walking through when I was a kid. This week is dedicated dance week on @dwtsirl and it was a no brainer for me to dedicate this week to my queen @samanthamumba.
“Thank you for being the representation I needed and being such a huge inspiration not only for myself but for so many others too. I hope I do you proud! 🌹❤️ #dwtsirl #fullcircle.”Not only is this week Dedicated Dance week, but it is also a week with a huge curveball. It has been announced that there will be no elimination this weekend, instead, the couple with the highest scores will be granted immunity from the first dance off and a free pass into week 8, so it’s all to play for.On her very first week Erica, who is partnered up with Ukrainian pro-dancer, Denys Samson, danced a lively and up-tempo samba to Kiss My by Anne Marie and Little Mix.
The pair scored a 24 with the judges, making DWTS history as the highest ever score for a couple’s first performance!
