00:00Welcome to MissMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the sexiest, most steamy
00:12routines that raised the temperature on the Dancing with the Stars dance floor.
00:1920.
00:25Roomba to Pony by Ginuwine, Carlos PenaVega and Whitney Carson
00:30Roombas tend to be sexy in a more sensual way, but this isn't your typical Roomba.
00:42This is the Roomba meets Magic Mike, and it's hot with a capital H. Carlos and Whitney do
00:48such a phenomenal job of making us feel like we're at a club exquisite that we're almost
00:53compelled to check that we haven't accidentally switched over to the 2012 flick.
01:09It was a bold and daring choice, but the couple's chemistry, fluid, suggestive moves, and spot-on
01:14interpretation of the famous scene create the most magnetic allure.
01:19This dance could make it rain tenfold, only we'd hold on to some of those singles to fan
01:23ourselves off.
01:2919.
01:34Burlesque to Mama Knows Best by Jessie J, Janelle Parish and Artem Chigvintsev
01:41Burlesque has evolved into a powerful form of expression, celebrating the human body
01:46and its capabilities with confidence and artistry.
01:59It's all about the tease, where subtlety takes centre stage over explicitness.
02:04The dance partners nailed this, mixing classic Burlesque moves like suggestive poses, sharp
02:09body isolations, and even some ambitious choreography.
02:22But what really draws us in is the story they tell through the dance and the sizzling chemistry
02:27between them.
02:28Considering it was switch-up week, it's even more impressive how effortlessly they sold
02:33the seduction.
02:34The judges might have been split, but there's no denying they brought the heat.
02:38They definitely put the risk in risqué.
02:5318.
02:54Argentine Tango to Santa Maria Del Buen Air by Goten Project, James Hinchcliffe and Shana
03:00Burgess
03:01Whenever we talk about this dance, it's usually about the fearless risk and unbelievable trust
03:07in the partnership.
03:08But also, damn is it sexy.
03:20The tension they create throughout the routine is enough to keep anyone on the edge of their
03:25seat.
03:26Even without eye contact, their connection is so strong, it feels like we should be looking
03:30away and not peering in on this intimate moment.
03:43Their synchronization and focus are absolutely breathtaking.
03:47Seriously.
03:48We almost forget to breathe from the sheer intensity.
03:51Also that ending.
03:53Just wow.
04:05And let's not forget, this isn't the only time the race car driver made our motors run.
04:10Remember his Viennese waltz with Jenna Johnson?
04:1617.
04:21Roomba to Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler, Louis Vito and Chelsea Hightower
04:27When we watch a Roomba, we want to feel like we're watching a love story unfold.
04:32And this dance delivered that and so much more.
04:42Chelsea's interpretation of the lyrics shines through in every move, with choreography filled
04:46with desire and longing.
04:48The sensual movements and close embraces perfectly capture the song's emotional intensity,
04:53filling the performance with a raw, passionate energy that grabs you from the first beat
04:58and doesn't let go.
05:07The way they look at each other is the kind of gaze many dream of receiving from their
05:11partner.
05:12We could watch this on repeat, and that flame between them would never dim.
05:2116.
05:25Argentine Tango to Santa Maria del Buen Air by Goat & Project, Jojo Siwa and Jenna Johnson
05:32There's that song again.
05:34Routines, to it, are just bound to be hot, hot, hot.
05:37This was Jojo and Jenna's second shot at an Argentine tango, and it had so much fiery
05:42chemistry that it completely overshadowed their first attempt.
05:55The connection they share is on another level.
05:58It's like they have shut out the world, and are fully immersed in each other, the music,
06:03and the choreography.
06:04Their intimate physical closeness and deep, captivating eye contact, not to mention some
06:09ambitious lifts, really sold us on their connection.
06:20We wouldn't be surprised if they broke the studio's thermostat with this routine.
06:24It's as steamy as the height of summer in Buenos Aires, and it makes us break into a
06:29sweat probably just as much.
06:4115.
06:42Contemporary to Fix You by Coldplay, Kelly Monaco and Valentin Shmirkovski
06:47Hot isn't a word we'd usually use to describe this song, well, not until we saw Kelly and
06:52Val dance to it.
07:01In the pre-dance VT, Val admitted that as a strictly ballroom and Latin guy, he struggled
07:07with the contemporary choreography, a style picked for them by fellow competitors Emmitt
07:11Smith and Sheryl Berg.
07:14He ultimately came up with a story about a couple at a crossroads in their relationship.
07:29With his sensual choreography, and their natural chemistry, they really make us buy into their
07:34narrative.
07:35They dance so beautifully that their raw emotions spill out.
07:38It's hard not to feel like we're going on this journey alongside them.
07:4914.
07:54Rumba to Waterfalls by TLC, Heather Morris and Maxim Shmirkovski
07:59The Glee actress and her partner, Max, delivered a mesmerizing rumba that wowed everyone with
08:05its sensuality and emotional depth.
08:16Their slow, controlled movements highlighted her amazing body control, while their strong
08:21connection created a truly enticing atmosphere.
08:24The routine was a showcase of irresistible charm, with sharp moves that draw the eye
08:29and slow movements that let us savor every detail.
08:41They earned a perfect score, but sadly, it also turned out to be their last dance.
08:45The only reason we can think of for their elimination that night is that the audience
08:49was too busy cooling off from that steamy performance to remember to vote.
08:5713.
09:03Cha-Cha-Cha to Cake by the Ocean by DNCE, Nile DiMarco and Peter Murgatroyd
09:10This was their debut dance, so is this kind of chemistry even allowed?
09:14They bring the kind of heat that makes you want to spend a day by the ocean.
09:25It probably didn't hurt that Nile started things off by ripping his shirt open.
09:29Even so, it only got hotter from there.
09:31He and Peter had this instant connection that made their chemistry feel so real from the
09:36get-go.
09:37Also, that hip action.
09:48Shouldn't you need a license for something that hypnotic?
09:51They were so in sync, you couldn't help but get lost in the moment, and by the end,
09:55you were wishing it had lasted a little longer.
10:0012.
10:02Freestyle to Cell Block Tango from Chicago
10:06This former Bachelorette certainly knew how to heat up the dance floor.
10:16Her samba was muy caliente.
10:19But just thinking about her Chicago-inspired freestyle gets us all kinds of flustered.
10:32The routine would make Fosse proud.
10:35And Windy performs it with the confidence of a Broadway star, making it practically
10:38impossible to take your eyes off her.
10:40The choreography, like its source inspiration, features sharp, striking movements that show
10:45power, control, and femininity, adding extra intrigue and charm.
10:58It's bold and confident, but also uses subtle gestures and expressions to convey desire
11:03and allure.
11:05But the performance earned them a perfect 40.
11:07Well, they had it coming.
11:1311.
11:21Rumba to The Lady in Red by Chris DeBerg
11:25Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough
11:27Given her background with the Pussycat Dolls, it's no surprise that Nicole Scherzinger
11:32knows how to set the dance floor on fire.
11:43Whether she's performing a charming cha-cha or a radiant rumba, she captivates us with
11:48every move.
11:57Her rumba with Derek is incredibly sensual.
12:00It really is about the seductiveness of the story, with gentle and subtle movements that
12:05are almost hypnotic.
12:06However, they also have plenty of sharp steps that almost seem to say, hey, you're going
12:12to watch me dance.
12:23They really do a beautiful job of making us believe in the romance here, and that's not
12:28easy to do unless the bond is real.
12:3710.
12:42Lambada to Ain't It Funny by Jennifer Lopez
12:45Maya and Dimitri Chaplin
12:56The Lambada earned the nickname of the Forbidden Dance due to its provocative nature.
13:01Indeed, this tantalizing twosome captured the style's red-hot nature with their close-body
13:06contact, rhythmic hip movements, and passionate embraces.
13:20It's a scorching routine, with electrifying chemistry and sizzling moves igniting the
13:25stage in a blaze of desire.
13:27It playfully straddles the line between sexy and scandalous, offering a breathtakingly
13:31beautiful and fervent expression through fiery and evocative choreography.
13:37Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough also turned up the heat with their interpretation of this
13:41seductive style, delivering a captivating performance that oozes undeniable magnetism.
13:539.
13:56Roomba to I've Got to See You Again by Nora Jones
14:00Cameron Matheson and Edyta Slavinska
14:02Few dances can transport audiences to a world of smoldering sensuality quite like Edyta
14:08Slavinska.
14:09Of course, having such smoking chemistry with her celebrity partner, Cameron Matheson, certainly
14:14contributed to this exceptional performance.
14:27Their connection lights up the floor as soon as the music begins, immediately drawing audiences
14:31into their intimate routine.
14:33They move as one, with each step radiating desire and sultriness.
14:47The hypnotic sway of their hips and intense embraces leaves viewers needing to fan themselves
14:52off.
14:53Everything about it radiates pure, unbridled sensuality.
14:57It's fiery, hot, and a masterclass in the art of seduction.
15:10We're just going to need a moment here.
15:12Oof.
15:138.
15:14Cha Cha Cha to Push It by Salt-N-Pepa
15:16Apollo Anton Ono and Julianne Hough
15:28This pair created sparks any time they hit the dance floor, but this dance in particular
15:32gave off a cheeky and playful allure, unveiling yet another side of the duo's captivating
15:37charisma that never failed to engage audiences.
15:40The routine's hip action alone is enough to leave any viewer in a trance and rather hot
15:45under the collar.
15:53The partner's strong bond on and off the dance floor allows them to infuse this fresh and
15:58exhilarating dynamic into their performance in a way that leaves viewers wanting more.
16:03It's one of our favourite cha-cha routines, and we're still left feeling flushed at the
16:07mere thought of it.
16:157.
16:18Paso Doble to Free Your Mind by En Vogue Mel B and Maxim Shmirkovsky
16:23Mel B and Max's Paso Doble never fails to leave us feeling flustered.
16:28While the Paso isn't typically the most seductive dance style, they unlocked its dramatic and
16:32arousing side with their intense gazes and strikingly entrancing movements.
16:44The number's sensuality is so compelling that our gaze is irresistibly drawn to their every
16:49step.
16:50Their connection shines through, giving a highly charged performance that pulls the
16:54audience into the thrilling excitement.
17:00Indeed, the unmissable tension permeating the routine has us holding our breath from
17:09beginning to end.
17:10The duo's interpretation shows how the Paso Doble can incorporate elements of seduction.
17:16And it is hot.
17:176.
17:18Foxtrot to All of Me by John Legend Meryl Davis and Maxim Shmirkovsky
17:30If we asked a hundred people which dance style would most likely get them feeling romantic,
17:35we doubt too many would say the Foxtrot.
17:37But those people probably haven't seen it danced by Meryl Davis and Maxim Shmirkovsky.
17:55Here it exudes a gentle seductiveness with eye-catching movements and off-the-charts
18:00heat.
18:01The pair's connection is palpable, and their ability to convey a plethora of emotions through
18:05their dance cemented them as the ones to watch that season.
18:16They also present an engaging story, allowing us to connect to the routine on an emotional
18:21level.
18:22The dance may be slow and impassioned, but it certainly leaves audiences fired up.
18:305.
18:33Argentine Tango to One Time by Marion Hill Paige Van Zant and Mark Ballas
18:39The Argentine Tango is often known as a dance of seduction, and that's exactly what this
18:43routine is about.
18:56The duo share a fierce connection that grabs the audience's attention right from the start.
19:00With their intense and suggestive moves, they perfectly capture the spirit of the Argentine
19:05Tango.
19:06It's exciting, intense, and steamy, and their use of props adds even more spice to the mix.
19:23They skillfully blend passion, magnetism, and drama in a hypnotic performance on the
19:28dance floor.
19:29Their routine showcases the artistry and allure that the Argentine Tango demands, leaving
19:34us completely captivated and maybe in need of a cool-down.
19:384.
19:39Viennese Waltz to Earned It by the Weekend by Ruma Willis and Valentin Shmirkovsky
19:51We could already feel the excitement bubbling when we realised that Ruma and Val would be
19:55dancing a Fifty Shades of Grey-themed Viennese waltz.
20:11Their performance here sizzles with a burning passion and a chemistry that could rival the
20:15characters of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele themselves.
20:19They both play their parts so well, almost too well.
20:33They not only dance beautifully, but also tell a captivating emotional tale through
20:37their graceful dance moves.
20:39It's no surprising that their performances sparked rumours about them dating.
20:53We were still catching our breath from this tantalising number when their toxic freestyle
20:57left us breathless again.
20:59We're addicted to the heat that Ruma and Val brought.
21:063.
21:11Argentine Tango to Assassin's Tango by John Powell, Gilles Marini and Sheryl Burke
21:17Let's be honest, this pairing could make any dance style sexy.
21:21Just look at their salsa.
21:23But things get extra spicy when they danced to the Argentine Tango.
21:38There's an undeniable sexual and dramatic tension throughout the routine, heightened
21:42only by the lighting and music.
21:44Their intricate steps are enticing, while their unwavering bond throughout makes the
21:49overall feel of the dance electric.

22:04and heat intensify.
22:06Their footwork, connection and choreography has us spellbound, leaving us thirsting for
22:11a drink of ice-cold water.
22:162.
22:22Samba to Gasolina by Daddy Yankee, James Maslow and Peter Murgatroyd
22:27This dance is so racy that we're almost amazed it was allowed on a family-friendly
22:31show.
22:32In fact, it's so hot that even the duo can't keep their clothes on throughout.
22:46They perform a sizzling samba set at a gas station, but we reckon the heat they bring
22:51is enough to get any and all motors running, if you catch our drift.
23:04James and Peter tackle the dance with a playful flirtiness showcasing the passion, confidence,
23:09sexiness and joy often linked to the style.
