‘Dancing With the Stars’ Fans Cringe Over Jan Ravnik & Julianne Hough’s Awkward Interaction

An awkward moment between Julianne Hough and Jan Ravnik on the October 13 episode of Dancing With the Stars left viewers cringing. The interaction occurred after Ravnik and Tatyana Ali danced a salsa and were told by the judges to bring more “power” to future performances.

After the pair received their score of 29/40, Hough asked Ravnik what he’s going to do to bring the “power” and “energy” to the dance floor “if [they’re] here next week.” Ravnik deadpanned and told Hough, “Uh, we have a dance that has no power, so, I don’t know.”

Hough tried to keep it light by laughing, “There’s always power, come on!” Ravnik just shrugged his shoulders.

This comes just a few weeks after Hough and Ravnik sparked romance rumors with their premiere week dance. Hough choreographed the routine and Ravnik was her leading man on the dance floor.
