Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson’s Yacht Rock Jive | Dancing with the Stars
Harry Shum Jr. came to Dancing with the Stars with more dance training than most celebrities bring to the ballroom. Before television knew him as Mike Chang, the quiet showstopper of Glee, he was a working dancer, and he danced in the Step Up films. For many viewers, his Yacht Rock jive is the night that background finally showed.
The song was "You Make My Dreams (Come True)" by Daryl Hall & John Oates. His pro partner, Jenna Johnson, built the routine. In 23 hours it drew close to 150,000 views, about fifteen times what a new video on the show's channel usually gathers on its first day. Tatyana Ali danced a quickstep to another Hall & Oates song, "Maneater," on the same night. Hers drew fewer than half as many views.
The comments read like a Glee reunion. Several viewers say they spotted his former castmates Amber Riley, herself a season 17 champion, and Chris Colfer in the audience. One fan sees moves from the show's famous "Valerie" number in the choreography. Others single out his flicks and his footwork, call it his best dance so far, and point to a bounce-back after the previous week.
Many are already looking further ahead, to what this pair might do with a freestyle. Some name the Halloween and Disney nights. Jenna Johnson's choreography gets nearly as much attention as her partner's feet, with viewers noting how she built the dance around what he does naturally.
