'Grease Night' on 'Dancing With The Stars' has proved to be an emotional night for the celebrities, along with the time leading up to it. With Mel C and JoJo Siwa opening up about their confidence issues, Kenya Moore also showed the world a vulnerable side of herself. During the practice, she spoke about her grandmother Dorris and just how special she was to her.

As she and pro Brandon Armstrong geared up to dance the rumba to 'There Are Worse Things I Could Do', Moore explained that she understands the place the character Rizzo comes from. Moore said that she was the product of teen pregnancy and her mother contemplated giving her up for adoption. However, her father's mother raised her instead and even instilled a love for dance in her. She had nothing but love for her grandmother and dedicated her performance to honor her memory. It was certainly an emotional piece and the judges felt it too
