Alexis Ren is just slaying us with not just one, but two performances on Dancing with the Stars on Monday night (November 12) from Los Angeles.
The 21-year-old model and partner Alan Bersten first performed a Waltz set to “Water†by Bishop Briggs, before taking on a Jive for Judge’s Choice. Their jive was performed to “Yes†by Merry Clayton.
“This dedication is about Alan teaching me so much,” Alexis shared in her video package of the dedication dance. “This is going to be the dance that gets me into the finals.”
Alexis and Alan earned 58 points, out of 60, from the judges for their performance.

Alexis Ren has not just one, but TWO, broken ribs right now.
The 21-year-old model opened up about her injuries with ET after the latest episode of Dancing With The Stars this week, and just why she’s downplaying them.
“I fractured another one. I drove myself to the hospital being like, ‘It’s fine. I’m fine,’†Alexis shared. “The doctor came and laughed at me, like, ‘I don’t know how you did it. You did it again.’”
If you missed it, Alexis broke her first rib just a weeks ago and says that she doesn’t want her injuries to take away from her performances with Alan Bersten.
Alan also opened up about getting praises from head judge Len Goodman for their dances.
“It’s very nice to hear from Len that Alexis had one of the best dances of the night, especially because Samba is so hard,†Alan shared.
Alexis added, “It’s the hardest dance I’ve learned.”
The 21-year-old model and partner Alan Bersten wowed with a fun Samba to Lauren Alaina‘s “Ladies in the ’90s†on Monday night (November 5) from Los Angeles.
“For me, that’s the best routine of the night,” judge Len Goodman told the couple.
Bruno Tonioli added, “You two are a match made in samba heaven.”
Alexis and Alan earned 29 points, out of 30, from the judges for their performance.

Just last week, the 21-year-old model admitted that she had developed real feelings for Alan, 24; and on tonight’s episode of Dancing With The Stars, the relationship was highlighted again – this time by them sealing it with a kiss.
“Last week, some things were said. I’m in a place where, we worked so hard for this amazing journey together, and I’m afraid I will mess that up in some way. But I’ve never had an experience like this,” Alan shared in the video.
He continued, “It’s so easy to just hang out with you and have fun and not worry about everything else. I know that you put yourself out there last weekend, and I do have feelings for you. And I really feel like I am falling for you.â€
After the chat, the couple shared a romantic kiss.
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Alexis and Alan as a couple – YAY or NAY?
The model opened up about the injury in a recent interview.
“It kind of sucks, but it’s fine, I have just been icing it every night and stretching it and doing what I can,” she told ET. “There is nothing you can really do for a fractured rib other than just bear through it.”
“I have been doing a much more conscious job of making sure that we don’t do anything that could affect the rib,” Alan added. “Not many big bends to the left, cause that’s where it hurts, and no tricks. But we can’t really do tricks in samba anyways.”
For the upcoming Country Night, the duo will be doing a samba to a live performance of Lauren Alaina‘s “Ladies in the ‘90s.” They’ll also take part in a Team Dance set to “Country Girl†by Luke Bryan.
Alan revealed that their costumes will be “more modern country, like popstar country. I am going to go with the cowboy hat just cause I love a good excuse to wear a cowboy hat.”
“I’m wearing cowgirl boots,” Alexis shared. “I tried them on and they’re cool.” Alan chimed in, “There might also be flannel involved.”
Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten have finally admitted they have some feelings for each other – but that doesn’t mean they’re a couple just yet.
If you missed the video package leading into their dance on last night’s DWTS, Alan said Alexis‘ confession was a bit of a lot to handle.
“Sitting next to Alexis on the couch and her telling me how she feels, my emotions were all over the place,†he shared. “You know, it was a lot to take in…I want to be 100 percent certain before I tell her how I’m feeling. I have a lot to think about.â€
After their performance, the two were keeping mum on what that meant for the future, but that knowing the feelings are there helped them perform.
“We’re more open with each other and we trust each other a little bit more. We can just have fun and not have to worry about hurting each others feelings as much,” Alan told ET. “And, to be honest, the transparency is what makes it easier.”
