They also shared that they wanted to light up the dance floor and show everyone that they have what it takes to make it to the semi-finale. They wanted to continue their good streak this week and put their best foot forward.

Their choreographer for the week, Nika Kljun, was equally taken up by their hard work and improvement over the past few weeks. During her confessional, she shared that she was the choreographer for Jack and Avery during week three, and she got a chance to work with them again. Nika added they have improved so much since the earlier stages of the competition.

Speaking about his hero, Avery shared that it was his father. The reason was because his dad spent more hours working and rehearsing at home.

After the duo's performance, Dexter Mayfield commented that it was supercharged. He shared that it was a lot of fun and that the bucking grooves were powerful. He praised their overall performance and said that he couldn't wait to see what they would bring to the stage if they made it through this week.

Come Dance With Me judge Jenna Dewan commented that the duo lit the stage on fire with their performance. She added:

"That was awesome, I can't get over the growth and improvement of you two on the show, it is so amazing to watch. Avery when you were above Jack and you were controlling him with your arm and there was a 'tick tick tick' that was fire, bold strength, I loved this."

Jenna said that she could see Jack having fun on stage. Hip-hop professional Tricia shared that she felt she was watching will.i.am and Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas dance together. The routine was quite powerful, according to her. After their performance, Jack and Avery received a total score of 27.5.
