Last night's DANCING WITH THE STARS paID tribute to well-known twosomes, both real and fictional, during "dynamic duo" night. The duo dance styles included Jazz, Cha Cha, Contemporary and the Rumba.

Broadway vet Alfonso Ribeiro and professional dance partner Witney Carson swooped into the ballroom on zip lines to channel dynamic duo Bat and Robin for a lively Cha-Cha. The dance earned the couple a 38 out of 40 points. Check it out below!

Starting his acting career at the age of eight, Alfonso landed his first starring role in the Broadway musical The Tap Dance Kid, whereupon he was signed to famed music label Island Records. He became an overnight sensation, enamoring the likes of director Bob Geraldi, choreographer Michael Peters and "The King of Pop" Michael Jackson(who enlisted Alfonso in the infamous Pepsi commercial). After taking time to attend Cal State University, Los Angeles where he earned a Theater Arts education, Alfonso was offered a role in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Alfonso played the memorable character of Carlton Banks, opposite his friend, Will Smith. Following six years on the popular series Fresh Prince, he was then approached by Quincy Jones to appear with L.L.Cool J in the NBC/UPN series In the House. Both can still be seen in syndication.
