Danny Amendola and Witney Carson react to “Dancing With the Stars” fans recreating their viral leg lift at home

Danny Amendola and Witney Carson are loving their newfound fame as TikTok dance icons.

While speaking exclusively to Page Six in the ballroom on Tuesday night, the “Dancing With the Stars” partners reacted to all the fans recreating their now-viral leg lift (aka “Operation Archer”) at home after Dedication Night last week.

“I didn’t really know it was viral. I had to go into rehearsals and be like, 'My algorithm must be messed up, Witney. 'I don't know, everyone's doing our dance!'” the 38-year-old NFL star recalled, all clips on his TikTok For You Page (FYP).

“It's great to get this support from the fans. We put so much work into it and getting their positive feedback every week – and then seeing it go viral – was amazing,” he continued. “It gives us juice and makes us really excited. We get really excited when we watch it.”

Carson, who choreographed the stunning contemporary number to X Ambassadors' “Unsteady,” agreed that it was really special to see that kind of reaction from so many fans.

“I never thought I would go viral on TikTok with a leg move I did on 'Dancing with the Stars,'” the 31-year-old professional dancer admitted. “I never thought so, but hey, we’ll take it! We love watching it.”

The dancing duo also shared some tips on how to prevent injuries at home after influencer Abbie Herbert revealed she accidentally broke her hip while attempting the viral move with her husband Josh.

“I would say just keep your feet together as an anchor,” explained Carson, who posted a helpful tutorial on her TikTok page.

“It's really important for the girls to keep the bottom leg straight and then bend it up like a front walk-over. So you lift your butt and arch.”

According to Amendola, it is “important for the boys to make sure the girls are balanced” when they get up from the floor. “You don't want them to wobble and then become unbalanced, so that's the main thing,” he shared. “And then when they come down, let go of the foot because they need a place to go.”
