CBS’ newest dance reality show ‘Come Dance with Me’ has taken everyone by storm and fans absolutely love how parents are helping their kids in achieving their dreams. Last week, we saw Lucas and Carolina leaving the show after the judges decided to save Connor and Nadya. So, the duo didn’t just better themselves, they needed to woo the judges so much that they are not in the bottom two.

In tonight’s episode, kids were given the opportunity to include three different steps in their routine and those steps will be the highlight of their performance. Connor included those moves in their routine, but it was hard for Nadya to follow those steps and asked if she has the power to say “no”. However, it was time for them to come out shining and give a performance that would make the judges go insane. Were they able to do that? Sort of.

The duo danced to the song “Dance, Dance” by Fall Out Boy and it was really a unique concept. They used the stage perfectly and the three moves that they had to show were executed perfectly. When their routine finished, the judges had a lot to say to them. Jenna Dewan said that the mother-son duo improved a lot from the previous week and they are back. Meanwhile, Tricia loved their performance and said that she absolutely loved their moves. She gave compliments to Nadya for her style, but also said that the duo needs to bring more energy.

On the other hand, Dexter was really impressed with how the duo bounced back from last week. He told Connor that he came fighting tonight and it was great to see him doing what he does best. In the end, the judges gave them a score of 20, which is better than the numbers they received last week, but they are still at the bottom.

Fans were glued to their screens while watching that amazing performance and said that the duo wowed them. One of the fans said, “The choreography was fantastic! Connor and his mom really stayed in character.”  Meanwhile, another fan said, “Connor & Nadia, let’s do it. That kiss was a 10 from Connor.” As soon as the performance got over, the host asked Connor how is he feeling and the talented dancer said that it feels so nice to do this with mom and kissed her cheek.
