Dancing With The Stars Season 19 News: 'The Carlton Dance' Recap; Week 5 Will See Pairs Switch Up
Last Monday night was the night "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" fans had all been waiting for. Alfonso Ribeiro, who played the lovable Carlton Banks, performed his famous "The Carlton Dance" to the tune of Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual."
Said to be a mash-up of several popular dance steps of that era, Ribeiro and Witney Carson were rewarded with perfect scores from the judges and deafening applause from the audience.
Days before the Week 4 "Most Memorable Year" episode of DWTS Season 19 kicked in, the 43-year-old actor announced on his Twitter account that they would be doing the said dance.
"It's official. @WitneyCarson and I are doing The Carlton Dance to Tom Jones It's Not Unusual this week @DancingABC #teamwitfonso Vote vote," Ribeiro tweeted.
Later that night after all the stars performed, Betsey Johnson and her pro partner Tony Dovolani were eliminated. They did a jive number to Captain & Tennile's "Love Will Keep Us Together."
