Jordan Chiles Advances to Week 6 on Dancing With the Stars After Father-Daughter Waltz

The tribute underscored her bond with her father, whom she credits for guiding her into gymnastics during childhood ADHD struggles.

Overview

  • On Dedication Night, Chiles and partner Ezra Sosa danced a Viennese waltz to John Mayer’s Daughters as her father, Timothy, joined onstage.
  • Judges awarded 32 out of 40 with praise for the emotion and improvement, and they announced that every contestant would move on this week.
  • The performance secured Chiles’ place in Week 6 of Season 34 on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.
  • In an Extra TV interview, Chiles said sharing the stage with her father “means the world” and said “gymnastics saved my life” after he steered her to the sport during ADHD challenges.
  • Following former NBA star Baron Davis’ exit, Chiles is the only athlete left in the field, as some fans on social media argued her score should have been higher.
