Louis Van Amstel Gives Us an Insider's View of the 'DWTS' Season 21 Finale

It’s a wrap for Season 21 of Dancing With the Stars, but we’ve got an inside look at the show’s biggest night ever. Longtime DWTS pro dancer Louis Van Amstel took over Yahoo TV’s Instagram account to give us a bird’s eye view of Tuesday night’s star-studded finale extravaganza, which was held at L.A. retail and entertainment complex The Grove.

When he’s not busy with his dance fitness program LaBlast, Van Amstel still lives and breathes dance, so of course he was part of the DWTS finale — and he’s got the behind-the-scenes pics to prove it.

It wouldn’t be a proper takeover without a selfie with Van Amstel’s DWTS partner Paula Deen. In fact, the Dancing duo posed for several pics throughout the evening, including a shot of their Gilligan’s Island-themed encore dance. Van Amstel also posed for snaps with everyone from Chaka Khan and Andy Grammer to his longtime publicist Jay D. Shwartz. Backstage, the Dutch-American dancer caught Bindi Irwin getting her hair done, and he was even part of a smooch sandwich with Karina Smirnoff and Brittany Cherry (complete with a hilarious photobomb). Later, the popular pro turned the camera on the DWTS audience.

Ahead of the live show, Louis gave us a gorgeous panoramic view of The Grove all decked out for Christmas and an inside look at the skybox. And if that wasn’t enough to get us in mirrorball trophy mode, a nailbiter shot of finalists Bindi Irwin and Nick Carter just minutes before Irwin was announced as the winner definitely did.
