Elaine Hendrix is dancing through her pain.
The Parent Trap alum had the ballroom in tears during the Oct. 21 Wicked Night episode of Dancing With the Stars after she and partner Alan Bersten performed a contemporary routine to โDefying Gravity.โ And as she explained, every day on the show she was defying her own odds due to injuries she sustained after a 1992 car accident.ย
โI have a titanium joint in my right foot,โ Elaine shared during her intro, โso that renders half my foot unusable. Every week, my body shifts into a new pain spot, but I just donโt wanna let it stop me.โ
The choice to dance to the powerful โDefying Gravityโ was a deliberate one, as Alan wanted the 54-year-old to realize โshe can trust herself,” reminding Elaine that โshe is stronger than her injuries.โ
As the two took the floor, they immediately put a spell on the audience, especially as Elaine literally defied gravity, being raised while holding a broom at the end of the number.
