Jordan Chiles 2026 Floor Routine Goes Viral After 'Dancing With The Stars' Run

Fresh off 'DWTS,' Jordan Chiles stuns with a viral 2026 floor routine set to Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson.

Fresh off a third-place finish on "Dancing with the Stars," Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles returned to the gymnastics mat this weekend with a performance that social media is calling a "masterclass in showmanship."

The UCLA senior swept every individual event and claimed the all-around title at the Best of the West Quad on Saturday, leading the No. 4 Bruins to a season-opening victory over Washington, No. 20 California, and No. 17 Oregon State. Chiles finished with an all-around score of 39.725—a mark that currently leads the nation.

The centerpiece of the afternoon was Chiles' new 2026 floor routine, which earned a meet-high 9.925. The performance, described by UCLA Athletics as a "passionate and confident" finale for her collegiate career, features a high-energy medley honoring Black music legends.

The choreography transitions through hits by Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson, and Tina Turner. Fans on social media quickly boosted the routine to viral status, praising the seamless blend of elite tumbling and professional-grade dance. Chiles, known as "That Girl," used her "Dancing with the Stars" experience to elevate her presentation, incorporating air-guitar accents and shuffle kicks that brought the Seattle crowd to its feet.

Beyond the floor exercise, the 24-year-old recorded the following results:

  • Vault: Chiles anchored the rotation with a complex Yurchenko double full, nearly sticking the landing for a 9.900.
  • Uneven Bars: The reigning NCAA champion in the event stuck her double layout dismount to secure a 9.925.
  • Balance Beam: In perhaps her strongest collegiate showing on the apparatus, Chiles earned a 9.975—including a perfect 10.0 from one judge.

"I was just so impressed with how she showed up today and how she was honestly so supportive of all of her teammates," UCLA head coach Janelle McDonald said. "She stepped up as an incredible leader."

The Bruins' victory sets the stage for a heavyweight clash this weekend. UCLA will travel to West Valley City, Utah, for the Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad on Saturday, Jan. 10. The meet will feature four of the nation's top five teams, including No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 2 LSU.

Fans can watch Chiles and the Bruins compete on ABC at 4:00 p.m. ET.
