'Dancing with the Stars: Juniors' recap - Performances to 'Songs on the Year they were born' leans to surprising elimination

As exciting as it sounds to perform on songs from the year each star contestant was born, some of them didn't even know these songs!

After the first week's stellar performances on 'Dancing with the Stars: Juniors,' things got heated up on the latest episode 2. While the previous episode had seen two dancing duos leave the dance floor as they suffered the first round of elimination, this week's peppy performances made up for that. Leaving at the end of the very first premiere night was Tripp Palin Johnston and pro-partner Hailey Bills and mentor Jenna Johnson, and MasterChef Junior champ Addison Osta Smith, along with partner Lev Khmelev and mentor Keo Motsepe. And it almost rides that out as if, the remaining 10 contestants took a trip down the memory lane in the episode titled 'Song From The Year I Was Born.'

Of course there was an elimination, but first, let's go through a recap of all the brilliant things about the night:
