Witney Carson And Danny Amendola’s Gravity- Defying “DWTS” Move Went Viral & It’s Even Harder Than It Looks

Dancing With The Stars has shocked fans through the years with incredible dance moves. Sure, the professional dancers are trained and skilled, but the stars they partner with are pretty darn amazing, too. Sometimes, we will see a dance move that looks so great that we want to try it at home. But as many have learned, looks can be deceiving and the DWTS dances are much harder than we may think. Witney Carson and Danny Amendola performed a lift that truly defied gravity. It inspired thousands of people to try it on their own, and the results are mixed.

But, of course, it’s not quite what it seems. Witney told Good Morning America the lift crazy shocked her.

“That leg move was very unique and special to Danny and I, and we just, we had no idea,” she said.

Danny said it’s not an easy move. “The hardest part is for the male in that regard is to keep her balanced coming up,” he explained. “The main thing is really for the females [is] to keep that bottom leg straight.”

After watching a ton of TikToks from people trying to recreate the lift, Witney and Danny decided to do a tutorial.

“For the ladies, you want to make sure your bottom leg is straight, kind of counterweight, and balance yourself with an arch,” Witney explained.

Danny added, “Make sure, ladies, your foot is at the very base, bottom of my foot, on the ground.”

Fans loved the quick DWTS how-to video.

One wrote, “Do I plan on trying this? No. Did I watch the whole video? Yes. Loveeee yall.”

This person is just going to watch, “Thanks for this However, my husband just reminded me that I’m almost 60 and questioning if I should be doing this.”
