Dancing With the Stars’ third week has officially sailed away!

The remaining 13 couples hit the ballroom to perform to yacht rock — a smooth, highly polished style of soft rock that peaked on the radio from the mid-1970s through the mid-1980s.

The Sept. 29 episode had a lot of foxtrots, Hall & Oates, and sixes!

Olympian Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov dominated the leaderboard, earning the first 8s of the season.

Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson tied them for first place with a jive that also earned 24 out of 30 points.

The three bottom couples were Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson, Jackson Olson and Emma Slater, and Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart.

Sadly, Taylor and Britt’s foxtrot to “What a Fool Believes” by The Doobie Brothers earned them 18 points — and ultimately had them walking the plank.
