'DWTS': 17 Most Memorable Dances

LANCE BASS AND LACEY SCHWIMMER: JITTERBUG
Season 7

Lance lost a shoe during the jitterbug, which was such a perfect wardrobe malfunction for this footwear-defying couple that my inner cynic immediately thought it might have been intentional. Maybe Lance was not just a fake sailor, but a fake dance hero, too! Obviously, though, it was an accident, and the able seaman valiantly tossed his partner over his shoulder and stood erect to salute, wearing only a sock. Pure mastery. It's kind of sad that Lance Bass jitterbuggin' in a sock and Brooke Burke executing pretty moves while looking pretty have been the two most impressive feats of the season.

THE SHOE DROPS at 0:43, but Lance artfully kicks it aside at 0:49 before launching into his next difficult move: jumping into Lacey's arms like a baby and saluting the crowd.
