'DWTS' Week 5: Laurie and Val Dance the Paso on 'Most Memorable Year' Night
Laurie Hernandez and partner Val Chmerkovskiy performed the Paso Doble to "Rise" by Katy Perry on "Dancing with the Stars" on Monday night. The theme was "Most Memorable Year," so the couples did dances in honor of the most memorable year of their lives thus far.

For Hernandez, making the 2016 U.S. Olympic team and competing in Rio was the best experience of her life, but she didn't achieve all she has without bumps along the way. She made countless sacrifices and battled numerous injuries, but she fought through to reach her ultimate goal. Val choreographed the dance to reflect her incredible journey.




The results show will be Tuesday at 8 PM ET on ABC. In the meantime, to vote for Laurie and Val, visit ABC.comFacebook, or call 1-800-868-3407.
