Mandy Moore Choreographer on Dancing With the Stars
Mandy Moore is a choreographer and judge on the ABC reality competition Dancing With the Stars, where she contributes choreography and scores performances alongside other professionals. The show pairs celebrities with trained ballroom and Latin dancers for weekly challenges judged by a panel that includes Moore. Her background in commercial and theatrical dance informs the routines she designs for the competition. The series is produced by BBC Studios and distributed by Disney Platform Distribution, with episodes airing on ABC and streaming on Hulu in the United States.
Moore joined the judging panel in a season that featured a mix of returning professionals and new cast members competing for the mirrorball trophy. She works with the professional dancers to refine timing, storytelling, and technique in each routine. The choreography often blends styles such as cha-cha, rumba, tango, and contemporary to match the celebrities' strengths. The season follows a weekly elimination format where judges' scores and audience votes determine which couples remain in the competition.
Mandy Moore Dancing With the Stars Judging and Scoring
Judging Criteria and Scoring System
Judges on Dancing With the Stars evaluate performances based on technique, artistic interpretation, timing, and overall presentation. Each judge awards a score out of 10, and the scores are combined to form the judges' total for the night. Audience votes are then added to the judges' scores to determine the final results for each episode. Mandy Moore provides feedback on choreography and performance quality during the live shows.
The scoring system uses a cumulative approach across multiple weeks, with the lowest-scoring couples facing elimination. In seasons with a large cast, the bottom couples may be saved by the judges or sent home based on public votes. The competition tracks each couple's progress through a leaderboard that updates after every live episode. Final results are determined in a finale episode where remaining couples compete for the mirrorball trophy.
