Robert Irwin's Emotional Dance Dedication to His Mom Terri

Robert Irwin, a 21-year-old wildlife conservationist, broke down after his dance dedication to his mom Terri 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 tribute to his mom, Terri Irwin, and also honored his late father, Steve Irwin. The emotional performance left the audience and judges in tears.

The judges, including Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli, and Carrie Ann Inaba, were visibly moved by the performance.
