Aly Raisman Waltzes Through Latest Dancing with the Stars Challenge

Olympic gold-medaling gymnast Raisman and her dancing partner Mark Ballas glided gracefully through a Viennese Waltz for last night's "Prom Night"-themed Dancing with the Stars.

Then, in a post-dance critique, a DWTS judge started to let her have it.

"Up until tonight I've been impressed with your dancing," said judge Len Goodman. "Not tonight."

But then: "April Fool's!"

Actually, Raisman and Ballas did quite well; a score of 23 out of 30 (two 8s and a 7), which keeps them near the front of the dancing pack.

The dance started with both Aly and Mark getting pierced by Cupid's arrow. Raisman acknowledges she has never been in love, so when a DWTS host asked what inspired her emotions for the dance, she attributed it all to what she'd seen in the movies and to her dancing partner, Mark.

Raisman, a Needham native, trained for the Olympics gymnastics team at Brestyan’s American Gymnastics Club in Burlington. She won two gold medals and a bronze medal for the U.S. Women’s Olympics at the 2012 London Games.

DWTS returns tonight, when one couple is scheduled to be sent home after tonight's live broadcast at 9 p.m. on the ABC network.

Aly Raisman and Mark Ballas came into last night's performance in third place.

In case you missed last week, each of the three judges rated  24 total points. Combined with the first week's score, she has 45 out of a possible 60 points.

No one was voted off last week; instead, athlete Dorothy Hamill announced her decision to leave the competition because of a back injury. 

The DWTS Results Show airs tonight, Tuesday, at 9 p.m.
