The "Brady Bunch" star lovingly sprinkled glitter on the "Dancing With the Stars" judge.

Barry Williams is still standing and still dancing.

For Dancing With the Stars Music Video night on Tuesday, the Brady Bunch star and partner Peta Murgatroyd performed a quickstep inspired by Elton John's 1983 "I'm Still Standing" video, which just so happened to star DWTS judge Bruno Tonioli in a gloriously skimpy black leotard.

Williams got into character as John, wearing a dapper cream suit with a cane, and even recreated a fun moment from the video in which the singer sprinkles glitter on Tonioli — then a young dancer — by shimmying up to the judges' table mid-dance and making it rain glitter on the overjoyed judge.

"If you wore my outfit in the video, it would have been a showstopper," Tonioli teased Willams after the dance.

The dancing duo earned 7s across the board, including from guest judge Paula Abdul, who said she's been cheering for him from home. "Week after week, [it's] such a delight and joy to watch you," the singer and choreographer told him.

Ahead of the dance, Williams shared that John was his favorite singer. In fact, back in 1973 when John played L.A.'s Hollywood Bowl, Williams "pulled every string I could to get backstage." He called the "Rocket Man" musician "gracious" when they met.

Later, Willams told cohost Julianne Hough that he was "grateful" to be able to come back to perform each week, but he was motivated by something greater. "I have to prove something for a whole generation, that it's never too late to take on new challenges and make your dreams come true," he said.

Dancing With the Stars airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+ and streams the following day on Hulu.
