Gymnast Shawn Johnson and her dance partner Derek Hough wowed in what the judges called the best dance in ‘Dancing With The Stars’ history on the Oct. 8 episode! Watch their routine below!

Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough brought the audience and the hard-to-please judges to their feet with their amazing quickstep!

Bruno Tonioli said, “Shawn and Derek – the incredibles! Spectacular, unforgettable, this is a classic. One of the best dances, if not the best dance I’ve seen in 15 seasons! You broke the rules but I’m never going to forget this!”

“That was, by far, the best dance we have ever seen on Dancing With The Stars!” Carrie Ann Inaba raved!

Len Goodman was slightly tougher: “Your ability to interpret music into movement is incredible. You know, last week we had to drop a point to Bristol [Palin] who broke the rules in the quickstep, in fairness, I have to do the same. Let me tell you — I’ve never enjoyed a routine more but understand this people, you can do what you like, I have to be honest. Well done!”

Because of breaking the rules, their score was 26.5, but we think it should have been 30/30!

Watch their dance right here:

Was that the best dance ever, HollywoodLifers?
