Calvin Johnson, 'showman with superpowers,' impresses again on DWTS

Calvin Johnson crushed another Dancing with the Stars performance.

After finishing with the best overall score last week, Johnson and his partner, Lindsay Arnold, kicked off Monday's show with their version of the Charleston on Cirque de Soleil night. They performed the Charleston in the theme of the Cirque show "Kurios."

While it was a longer -- and theoretically harder -- routine than the first three performances for Johnson, it actually fit his own style well. There were a lot of lifts required and precise footwork involved, something that benefited the 6-foot-5 former All-Pro wide receiver.

"It's a high-paced dance," Johnson said in the taped segment before the dance.
