Derek’s partner for this routine is actually his girlfriend, Hayley Erbert. The two float across the dance floor with confidence and precision. Their connection is evident as they seamlessly transition between the steps of the dance.
As one viewer noted, “the moves are so clean and sharp you can slice meat with it.” The dancers are so fast and disciplined with each move that one may believe the video had been altered. Their dance moves are almost superhuman.
The impressive choreography was matched with equally amazing visual effects. While not necessary, the lights and camera work added additional pizazz to the performance. During Derek’s solo, there was a mirror effect that surrounded the audience with impressive moves.

This skill was imperative on a show such as Dancing with the Stars. It includes a live audience but also must capture those watching on TV as well.
