Dancing With the Stars has amazed audiences over the years with impressive dance routines. While the professional dancers are obviously skilled, their celebrity partners often surprise everyone with their talent as well. Occasionally, a dance move stands out so much that viewers are tempted to try it themselves. However, as many quickly find out, these moves are much harder than they look. Witney Carson and Danny Amendola, for example, performed a lift that seemed to defy gravity, sparking thousands to attempt it with mixed results.

But, naturally, there’s more to it than meets the eye. Witney told Good Morning America that even she was surprised by how challenging the lift was.
“That leg move was something really unique to Danny and me; we just had no idea,” she shared.
Danny added that it’s far from simple, explaining, “The hardest part for the guy is to keep her balanced as she comes up. The key for the ladies is keeping that bottom leg straight.”
After watching countless TikTok users try to replicate their lift, Witney and Danny decided to share a tutorial.

“For the ladies, focus on keeping your bottom leg straight, using it to counterbalance and stabilize yourself with an arch,” Witney explained.
Danny advised, “Ladies, make sure your foot is placed at the very base of my foot on the ground.”
Fans were thrilled with the quick DWTS tutorial video.

One fan commented, “Do I plan on trying this? No. Did I watch the whole video? Yes. Love you guys.”
Another joked, “Thanks for this, but my husband just reminded me I’m nearly 60, so maybe I should skip it.”

And this viewer shared, “You two are now my favorite couple this season! Love seeing Danny’s personality shine through.”
