Noah Galloway and trainer Sharna Burgess perform the
Viennese waltz to David Cook’s “The Time of My Life.”
He may not win the trophy, but he did win his fiancée.
“Dancing with the Stars” entered the semifinals in Week 9 with four couples battling to make it to next week’s finale. Would perfect 10s rain down on Noah Galloway and partner Sharna Burgess?
The Alabaster trainer performed a Viennese waltz in the first round, earning 36 points out of a possible 40. Noah then turned to his girlfriend Jamie Boyd to pop the question, with cheers from the audience and fellow contestants.
The Judge’s Choice round put Noah and Sharna with Carrie Ann Inaba, who selected a paso doble. The dance earned a perfect 30 out of 30, bringing the duo’s total to 66 points for fourth place.
Nastia Liukin and Riker Lynch tied for first with perfect 70s, while Rumer Willis came in third with 68 points. It looks like it may come down to viewer votes.
The standings for Week 9:
One team will be eliminated on Tuesday’s 7 p.m. show. The show returns next Monday with the final round of dancing, followed by the announcement of the winner on May 19.

Tango time for Noah Galloway and trainer Sharna Burgess

America’s Choice Night on “Dancing with the Stars” led to big moves and perfect scores. But what about Noah Galloway and partner Sharna Burgess?
The two kicked off the first dance with a tango, earning 31 points out of a possible 40.
The second dance involved trios. Noah and Sharna teamed up with pro Emma Slater for a salsa, scoring 32 out of 40.
Combined with last week’s score of 38, the team landed in fourth place with a total of 101 points. The leaders Riker Lynch, Nastia Liukin and Rumer Willis earned scores of 39 and perfect 40s tonight.
The standings for Week 8:
Two teams will be eliminated on Tuesday’s 7 p.m. show. The show returns next Monday with another round of dancing, followed the elimination show on May 12.
It takes three to … salsa.
