The fourth week of competition started with some new dances. Celebrities and their professional dance partners introduced viewers to the bolero, Charleston, two step and lambada. Lifts were allowed in these dances.
Here's a recap:
Singer Mya and partner Dmitry Chaplin earned 28 points for the final dance of the evening, their sexy lambada.
Bruno Toniolo, 10: "That was an erotic, exotic roller coaster. You would want to ride that over and over and over and over again."
Len Goodman, 8: "I never find your routines boring... You set your own standards... My expectations are really high. I felt that in the lambada I was going to get a bit more."
Carrie Ann Inaba, 10: "Mya's on fire... That was amazing."
Despite a trip to visit former "Dancing with the Stars" competitor and rodeo champion Ty Murray, snowboarder Louie Vito failed to find his inner cowboy. Louie and partner Chelsie Hightower only received 16 points for their attempt at the two step.

Bruno Toniolo, 6: "For a two step it was slightly dazed and confused... Not enough."
