Bindi Irwin & Derek Hough Bring Rock-Infused Fire to the Ballroom with Electrifying Tango on DWTS Week 2

It was Week 2 of Dancing With The Stars, and Bindi Irwin had already proven she was more than just the sweetheart of the season. But when she stepped onto the ballroom floor with Derek Hough to perform a blistering Tango to AC/DC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long”, she shook everyone — judges, audience, and fans alike.

From the first pounding guitar riff, the energy was electric. Bindi, dressed in a daring black-and-red ensemble with studded details and smoky eyes, transformed from bubbly wildlife warrior to fierce ballroom dynamo. Derek, ever the showman, matched her intensity in slick rocker-inspired attire as they launched into a Tango that was bold, sharp, and bursting with attitude.

Their footwork was tight, their lines aggressive, and the choreography cleverly fused classic Tango technique with raw rock ‘n’ roll edge. Bindi attacked every step with power and precision, nailing the staccato rhythm while maintaining the fierce connection required for the dance.

But it wasn’t just about the moves — it was the chemistry. Bindi and Derek locked eyes with magnetic focus, and every flick, drag, and pivot was charged with emotion. By the final pose, the ballroom had gone wild.

The judges praised the duo for their commitment, control, and unexpected grit. Carrie Ann Inaba couldn’t hide her surprise: “You’re a little firecracker!” Bruno Tonioli called it “rock-tango royalty,” while Julianne Hough beamed with pride.

In just two weeks, Bindi had gone from underdog to undeniable contender — and this fiery, fearless Tango proved she wasn’t just here to dance.

She was here to compete. And she was shaking the ballroom all night long.
