Bindi Irwin simply reaffirmed America’s love for her during the season 21 finale of Dancing with the Stars. Moving with poise and emotion, the teenage dancer brought the audience to tears.
The budding star and dance partner Derek Hough performed to Leona Lewis’ "Footprints in the Sand" in dedication to her late father. The famous Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, passed away in 2006.
While the dancing duo showed off some breathtaking moves, it was the last moment that touched the hearts of those watching.
The performance ended with a photo of Irwin and her dad shown on the big screen. The moment, which was secretly planned by Hough, left Irwin in tears. Just like the time she danced to the Police’s "Every Breath You Take," the room also became emotional.
“I want to start off by saying thank you to your mom and dad for creating you because this has been such a joy for me to watch,” said judge Carrie Ann Inaba.
Fellow judge Julianne Hough couldn’t even get through her words without shedding a tear.
“You’re so special that you have taken each and every one of us on the journey with you,” Hough said. “You’ve completely left an imprint on each and every one of us.”
