Amazing performances!
Bachelorette Jenn Tran and former Bachelor Joey Graziadei just performed their very first dance routines during the Season 33 premiere of “Dancing with the Stars.”
The two Bachelor Nation fan favorites have been sharing snippets online throughout the week of them preparing for their separate routines. But they kept their fancy footwork a secret until it was showtime.
Joey started off the night of performances by dancing a cha-cha with partner Jenna Johnson to the song “Dancin’ in the Country” by Tyler Hubbard.
The choreography mixed the cha-cha with some country dance steps and included a big surprise of Joey jumping over Jenna.
The judges were impressed with Joey’s performance and he made history by scoring 21 points, the highest Week 1 score by a Bachelor male contestant.
Joey shared his performance online and wrote of his experience, “I had the best time ever last night!! There was so much anticipation leading up to the premiere and I couldn’t have asked for a better first dance with [Jenna Johnson]. Thank you for all the love and support! #TeamtWINning #DWTS”
Jenn performed later in the evening and also danced a cha-cha but to the song “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus with her dance partner, Sasha Farber.
The two looked like they had so much fun dancing together and the judges absolutely loved Jenn’s performance. She followed closely behind Joey with a total score of 19 points.
The Bachelor Nation star shared her feelings about her performance online and how the experience was for her.
Jenn wrote, “On such a high from last night!!!!! Never having danced before and debuting to a song that is so empowering and inspiring to my life right now is a dream come true. This chapter’s gonna be a good one 🤞🏻Thank you for all the incredible support and encouragement I hope to continue to make you guys proud ❤️”
Bachelor Nation was blown away by Jenn and Joey’s spectacular performances, and multiple fellow Bachelor Nation stars sat front row to cheer on their amazing dance moves.
Kelsey Anderson was there with Jason Tartick and her dad, Mark Anderson, to support her fiancé and was left speechless by Joey’s performance.
She shared a video of her reaction on Instagram and wrote, “MY BABY IS A STARR!!! Thanks dad for recording this 🤣❤️” and also shared on her TikTok saying, “MY CELEB CRUSH!! @Joey Graziadei #DWTS #JOEYISHOT”
Jonathon Johnson, Justin Glaze, and Susie Evans were also there to support Jenn and Joey and were stunned by the dances.
Justin shared on his Instagram Story, “Jenn ate. Joey ate. No notes 🪩 🕺 💃” and Susie posted, “[Jenn] did absolutely INCREDIBLE tonight! Vote vote vote!”
What an amazing night!
We are so proud of Jenn and Joey and are so excited to continue cheering both of them on during this season.
Hopefully they bring the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy home to Bachelor Nation!
