On Monday’s Dancing with the Stars, Petra Nemcova and Dmitry Chaplin danced the Waltz to You Raise Me Up in the hopes that others would get the same hope and inspiration out of the dance as she gets from this song. 

Petra spoke of her return to Thailand after the Tsunami had devastated the country and this is the song she listened to for the easing of her frustrations after meeting all the homeless children there. The song also served as the impetus behind Petra establishing her charity.

Petra looked so elegant and graceful as she lightly floated like an angel across the ballroom. 

The judges gave Petra the highest score of the night (tied with Hines Ward) and this is what they had to say:

Carrie Ann (8): “I think that’s what makes this dance special. Your heart was all over the moves. You’ve gone from supermodel to super graceful inspirational dancer.”

Len (9): “It had grace, it had elegance. It had fluid movements. This season, it’s my favorite…For me, at this moment, you’re the one.”

Bruno (8): “You’re like a vision from heaven and you danced like an angel. Your improvement is incredible. Your beauty is great but your heart is even more beautiful.”
