Leavitt and Ballas had taken to TikTok to announce their generous gesture, offering to gift two tickets to the highly anticipated Dancing with the Stars live show on Halloween night. In addition to the tickets, they had also planned to cover the costs of flights and accommodations for the fortunate winners. The couple has been showcasing their exceptional dance skills on the show, consistently impressing both the judges and viewers week after week.
To enter the giveaway, fans were only required to comment their favourite Ballas-centric meme on the original video unveiling the giveaway. However, the excitement came to a halt when Leavitt and Ballas shared the disappointing news on TikTok on Oct. 25. They revealed that they had been informed that the giveaway could no longer proceed, as communicated by the TV networks ABC and BBC, which hold the licenses for the show.
Expressing their disappointment, Leavitt and Ballas mentioned in their video that the decision was completely out of their control. Despite the setback, the pair expressed their desire to find alternative ways to show appreciation to their loyal supporters who have been showering them with love and encouragement throughout the season. The cancellation of the giveaway left fans disappointed, but Leavitt and Ballas assured that they would come up with another plan to express their gratitude.
Throughout the season, Leavitt and Ballas have consistently dazzled the audience with their stellar performances, earning high scores and praise from the judges. In the previous week, they even secured the first perfect scores of the season with a spectacular quickstep routine. As Halloween night approaches, fans can look forward to seeing the duo perform a jazz routine to the energetic tune of “Brain Stew” by Green Day.
Despite the setback with the giveaway, Leavitt and Ballas remain focused on delivering exceptional performances on the dance floor. Their journey on Dancing with the Stars has been filled with highs and lows, but their determination and passion for dance continue to shine through. As they navigate through the challenges of the competition, fans eagerly anticipate their upcoming performances and continue to show unwavering support for the talented duo.
