"Beloved animal activist Robert Irwin will continue to make us cry with his dances, as he dedicated his second dance of the season to another member of his family. For the 20th anniversary special of Dancing with the Stars, Irwin and his partner Witney Carson danced a foxtrot to "Footprints in the Sand," inspired by his sister and Mirrorball winner Bindi's performance on the show in 2015 - Bindi's dance was dedicated to their father, wildlife conservationist Steve Irwin."
"At the end of the emotional foxtrot, Bindi appeared and briefly danced with Robert before they turned to face the stage to see footage of the kids with their father -a surprise that brought a tearful Robert to his knees, as Bindi and Witney comforted him. He scored his highest score yet and the first perfect score of the season, earning a 40/40 for his dance, just like Bindi did when she won the competition."
