Robert Irwin's Emotional Dance Dedication
Robert Irwin, a 21-year-old wildlife conservationist, broke down after his dance dedication to his mom, Terri Irwin, on "Dancing with the Stars".
Backstage, Robert explained that he dedicated his dance to all mothers and anyone experiencing grief after loss.
"It was really hard to express that and really hard to actually get through a dance while internally you’re processing and getting all of these emotions out there,"
Robert's dance was a contemporary piece honoring his mom, Terri, and included a tear-jerking transition with her at the end, leaving the audience and judges in tears.
The emotional performance was a tribute to his late father, Steve Irwin, and the grief that Robert still processes.
