Jodie Sweetin is back on the dance floor. Just days after injuring her foot rehearsing for the Monday, April 25 episode of Dancing With the Stars, the Fuller House star and professional dance partner Keo Motsepe took on Pink's famous "Try" dance, and it was nearly impossible to tell she was injured at all.
Judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, and Bruno Tonioli praised the performance, awarding Sweetin a 25 out of 30.
"I thought you performed it so well," Goodman said. "I know there was a little struggle getting into the lift, and that lift is so iconic, but you pulled it off."
Tonioli agreed.
"You gave it a wonderful interpretation," He said. "You nearly gave me a heart attack with that lift, but you pulled it off and I have to give you credit for that."
Sweetin injured her foot while practicing flipping Motsepe in a move supervised by RJ Durell and Nick Florez, the choreographers behind Pink's American Music Awards performance. "I don't want to be done," Sweetin said through tears after Motsepe landed on her ankle.
Fortunately, nothing was broken, and Sweetin went back to rehearsal saying that nothing was broken, and it all depended on how much pain she could handle while dancing.
"Jodie hurt her foot [Wednesday] rehearsing for Monday's show. This is one of the toughest nights of the season, as the couples have to take on famous dances and recreate some of the greatest routines of all time," a spokesperson for DWTS said in a statement after news of her injury came out. "At this point she is resting her foot and taking it day by day."
Luckily, all that rest worked, and Jodie was able to put on a truly impressive performance.
