In a poignant Viennese waltz that she shared with her father Timothy Chiles and her professional dance partner Ezra Sosa, Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles emotionally impacted the four judges and earned steady scores on week five of ABC\u2019s \u201cDancing with the Stars\u201d on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba addressed both Timothy and Jordan in her admiration of their and Sosa\u2019s performance to \u201cDaughters\u201d by John Mayer.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reverence that I just witnessed was profound,\u201d Inaba said. \u201cThe respect and love you showed for your daughter in that dance, by showing up and pretty much doing the whole dance, was pretty incredible. You (Jordan) are blossoming into something spectacular.\u201d<\/p>\n
Judge Derek Hough praised the finesse of the performance, which earned Chiles and Sosa eight out of 10 points from each judge to rank them fifth of the 10 couples for the night.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a tenderness,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was simple. There was a care to it. It was a really beautiful dance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Guest judge Kym Johnson noted Chiles\u2019 breadth of movement and extension, and commended Sosa for integrating Timothy so effectively in the performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou really took a risk in having them dance together solo for quite a long time, but it paid off,\u201d said Johnson to Sosa.<\/p>\n
Johnson added that Chiles has the skill and gusto to advance to the final.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are a beautiful dancer and you have the determination to go all the way to the end,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Like Inaba, judge Bruno Tonioli complimented both father and daughter, and as in previous weeks, he highlighted Chiles\u2019 improvements as the season progresses.<\/p>\n
\u201cElegance, style and poise,\u201d Tonioli said. \u201cSir, you\u2019ve got it, and your daughter (too). I\u2019m so proud of her because what she\u2019s done from the beginning has been brilliant. She gets better and better and better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chiles said she does not know what her life would have been like had her father not enrolled her in gymnastics so many years ago, leading to outlets such as \u201cDancing with the Stars\u201d that she is enjoying.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I would be this humble girl who has the opportunity to have a dance on the biggest show of her career, and to understand that every little girl should enjoy their moments with their fathers,\u201d Chiles said.<\/p>\n
