Amber Glenn Dedicates DWTS Dance to Sister Brooke

Olympic figure skating champion Amber Glenn will honor her sister Brooke with a contemporary dance on Dancing with the Stars during Week 6's Dedication Night. The Plano native will perform alongside professional partner Pasha Pashkov to Sia's Breathe Me, according to an ABC news release, with Brooke also expected to participate.

Glenn's dedication highlights the support her sister provided during a difficult period in her life about a decade ago. The figure skater also plans to share their story of mental health advocacy through the performance.

Explaining the personal significance of the dance in a social media video, Glenn described how her sister helped her through a period when she struggled to envision a future for herself.

"It was a really hard time for me about 10, 11 years ago that I was at my lowest and didn't think that I had a future," said Amber Glenn, Olympic figure skating champion.

Glenn credited Brooke, whom she described as her best friend, with helping her recover from that difficult period. She said the sisters now work together to advocate for mental health awareness.

"My best friend, my sister, helped me out of it, got me through it and now we both work to advocate for mental health and it's been a journey and a story that I can't wait to tell," said Amber Glenn, Olympic figure skating champion.

Glenn has also shared rehearsal footage featuring Brooke and photographs of the sisters as children on social media, offering additional context for the dedication.

Week 6 will feature former Dancing with the Stars professional dancer Kym Johnson as a special guest judge. Johnson won the competition's mirrorball trophy twice, partnering with Donny Osmond in Season 9 and Hines Ward in Season 12.

Johnson is the second guest judge to appear during Season 35, following sports commentator Joe Buck's participation in the previous week's Super Bowl Night episode.

Glenn and Pashkov entered the top 10 after delivering a samba to Mi Gente by J Balvin and Willy William the previous week. According to the show's reported results, the pair earned their first scores of nine this season.

The partnership has remained among the competition's highest-scoring couples through the first five weeks. Glenn and Pashkov have also matched the week's top score on two occasions.

Dancing with the Stars airs Tuesdays at 7 p.m. on ABC and streams live on Disney+. Episodes become available on Hulu the day after their broadcast.
