definitely the best dance of the season. most fun, best actual "dance moves" expecially compared to the other freestyles. and the original costume, i think, just added to the intricacy of the moves that they did and the SPEED! OMG!! that was amazing!
Shawn came from behind to win this. She really wasn't favoured by too many. I know that she worked hard to get that trophy, and it paid off. Gilles was everyone's favourite from the start. CONGRATS SHAWN!!!
Gymnastics and dance are VERY different. In gymnastics you have to be spot on with every move, very direct to each different move, with dancing it's very fluid. It's actually pretty different. :) Love Shawn! She's such a sweetheart.
To me, Shawn is by far my favorite partner of Mark's. I can't believe he said his season with Sadie was his favorite >:( In my opinion, I think it backfired and people who are fans of his other partners voted for Alfonso instead.
I know right I like Shawn better than Sadie no offense to Sadie fans, but Shawn is like a legend, but I think Mark always says that to every partner...
Ann Lynn I think he said that probably because he felt that his season with Sadie was the most challenging for him. That being said, even I love both Sadie and Shawn but I agree when you say Shawn was his best partner.
I understand that Mark has announced his retirement for DWTS, although I wouldn't be surprised if he popped up every now and then. He always had the best and most creative freestyles hands down.
What are you talkin about, Shawn is an awesome dancer and she represented the great country of America in the olympics. True Patriotic Americans had to choose her!
All were great dancers. It boiled down to Monday nights performance. Shawn wowed me. I was disappointed with Gilles and Mellisa's performance. So I voted for Shawn and she won. Justice was don IMHO. Good for her and Mark!
I'm a bit sad that this didn't get de Emmy Nomination, so I had to watch it a few more times. But of course, I'm happy for Julianne and Derek who also did an awesome jive.
I'm soo glad she won! I mean, I loved all of the finalists. They're all great dancers, but I wanted her to win mainly so she wouldn't be the first Olympian to lose. And she's only 17!!!
she can do those flips, arials (no hands cartwheel) spitls that I think no regular person could learn in the time they have to prep for so you are right she does use a ton of gymnast skills. They also do floor excersizes to music and dancing skills are some of the things they are supposed to do in their event as well...though less and less so it seems.
Because in gymnastics, (artistic and rhythmic), you learn to be fluid between each movement. (That is especially applied to rhythmic, but in artistic, you also do that to a certain degree). Also being a gymnast can mean that you are more flexible, stronger and have at least some knowledge in dance.
That was awesome choreography. Really well executed. And stop hating on Shawn Johnson saying she's "thicker" or "looking chubby" or any of that shit. Fact of the matter is, she's probably a lot healthier than the majority of the people talkin smack, and can also kick the majority of your asses.
shawn totally brought out the child in mark throught the season, no matter what the dance was he was always smiling and looking happy
I really believe Shawn is a truly sweet person and I love it
definitely the best dance of the season. most fun, best actual "dance moves" expecially compared to the other freestyles. and the original costume, i think, just added to the intricacy of the moves that they did and the SPEED! OMG!! that was amazing!
After 4 years and 7 seasons, still one of my favorites! Glad to see Shawn Johnson will be back for Season 15's All Stars.
Shawn is a true champion but a lot credit goes to Mark. This free style dance routine took them to the top. Great job!
Best dance! Such great partners and in sync! Love them both!
Good job to Mark for choreographing to her strengths as a gymnast without delivering a floor routine and WAY TO GO SHAWN!!!
If you ask me derek and mark were the best on the show they will be missed by me for sure
Agree 100%
Best freestyle in the history of Dancing with the Stars!!!!
This was my favorite dance that I have ever seen! It was so good. I could never do that big lift! It looks like a fun dance to dance!
SHAWN IS AMAZINGGGGG! shes soo talented :D
oh man, i freaked out when i saw this last night....it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!
What's crazy it that Shawn Johnson is coming to my gym this Thursday.... OMG I'M LIKE SO EXCITED!!!!!
Lucky
Shawn came from behind to win this. She really wasn't favoured by too many. I know that she worked hard to get that trophy, and it paid off. Gilles was everyone's favourite from the start.
CONGRATS SHAWN!!!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. THIS dance was the dance that gave Shawn the trophy last season.
Gymnastics and dance are VERY different. In gymnastics you have to be spot on with every move, very direct to each different move, with dancing it's very fluid. It's actually pretty different. :) Love Shawn! She's such a sweetheart.
Was rooting for her to win. She's truly talented and proved her determination.
have not seen this in years!!-----INCREDIBLE!!!
That was actually AMAZING! i luv luv luv it!
Olympic champions will always do well on DWTS. :)
So glad she won!
That was fantastic. I wanted Gilles to win, but this freestyle was incredible. Hurray for Shawn!
To me, Shawn is by far my favorite partner of Mark's. I can't believe he said his season with Sadie was his favorite >:( In my opinion, I think it backfired and people who are fans of his other partners voted for Alfonso instead.
I know right I like Shawn better than Sadie no offense to Sadie fans, but Shawn is like a legend, but I think Mark always says that to every partner...
Seriously?
Ann Lynn I think he said that probably because he felt that his season with Sadie was the most challenging for him. That being said, even I love both Sadie and Shawn but I agree when you say Shawn was his best partner.
Alfonso can dance and Sadie was good to
well on the season with Sadie he had a lot more creative freedom with the production and choreography than he did with Shawn, so that’s probs why
This freestyle won her the competition!
Oh wow! They are BOTH so athletic, this was so good!
Move after 1:37 was the best. Have been dancing since 4 and I've never seen that move before. 10!!
Shawn & Mark deserved the title,
wish i'll have an opportunity to dance with Mark someday ^_^
Big kisses from Indonesia...

All were great dancers. It boiled down to Monday nights performance. Shawn wowed me. I was disappointed with Gilles and Mellisa's performance. So I voted for Shawn and she won. Justice was don IMHO. Good for her and Mark!
whoa!
hey everyone
i met shawn johnson at a broadway show called Wicked and she gave me her autograph on my ticket

Epic!
wow- i would just love to see you try to do that gracefully. and i think she was great
I'm a bit sad that this didn't get de Emmy Nomination, so I had to watch it a few more times. But of course, I'm happy for Julianne and Derek who also did an awesome jive.
wow..so glad she won!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and this is reason number 2 why iowa should be famous
that was pretty good
I'm soo glad she won! I mean, I loved all of the finalists. They're all great dancers, but I wanted her to win mainly so she wouldn't be the first Olympian to lose. And she's only 17!!!
Mark's best partner! Next to Charli!
I'm very glad Shawn and Mark won!
I think I remember seeing somewhere she got a concussion rehearsing this.
perfectt
shawn is so cute!
she can do those flips, arials (no hands cartwheel) spitls that I think no regular person could learn in the time they have to prep for
so you are right she does use a ton of gymnast skills.

perfect 30 :)
1:06 is awesome!
uau eu tenho o jogo desse programa devia ter essa dança ia ser bem dificil e isso q eu quero
wow, after i watched that i accidentally clapped... it was THAT good! nice job
I never really liked Shawn but this was really awsome!!!
That was awesome choreography. Really well executed.
And stop hating on Shawn Johnson saying she's "thicker" or "looking chubby" or any of that shit. Fact of the matter is, she's probably a lot healthier than the majority of the people talkin smack, and can also kick the majority of your asses.
