Classical Night Gets An Update On 'Dancing' As New Pair Takes The Lead

It was classical night on "Dancing with the Stars," but it was a modern update on a centuries-old number that brought a new pair to the top of the leaderboard.

Former Disney star Chelsea Kane and her professional partner, Mark Ballas, took inspiration from "Harry Potter" for their Viennese waltz and their modern take created a big stir at the judges' table. At first, however, it seemed as if the pair were going to get a poor score as Len Goodman took Mark on for updating the classic number.

"This is the Viennese waltz! It's 300 years old! It is the most traditional of all the dances," Len stated.

"But she's 22," Mark protested.

"I don't care that she's 22," Len shouted back as the audience booed. "Her job at 22 is to interpret a dance that is 300 years old. It's your job to help her get through it, not to distract her by creeping all over the floor."
