Danielle Fishel’s Feeny Tribute Dance on DWTS

Danielle Fishel honored Mr. Feeny with an emotional jive dance on DWTS.

A Special Evening of Dedication Night

Danielle Fishel performed a jive dedicated to her life’s biggest mentor, William Daniels, also known as Mr. Feeny, at Dedication Night on October 14th.

The Boy Meets World theme from Twenty Cent Crush brought a wave of joy to the audience in the glittering ballroom.

Feeny Returns to the Stage

Before the dance began, Mr. Feeny dazzled the audience with a classroom-like decorated desk and chalkboard.

When Danielle and her partner, Pasha Pashkov, began their jive, the audience experienced a moment of nostalgia.

After the dance ended, they returned to their desks and embraced William Daniels, expressing their emotions.

Big Memories of Little Danielle

When Danielle first appeared on set at the age of 12, Mr. Feeny turned her into a ‘professional.’

That one-take shot of the reel Feeny scene still resonates with Danielle when she said, “I’ll never forget you.

You’re more than my own father.”

Costars’ Support

In addition to Bonnie Bartlett, several other Boy Meets World stars also made their way into the ballroom with William Daniels—Will Friedle, William Russ, Betsy Randle, Matthew Lawrence, Alex Désert, and Trina McGee.

Ryder Strong may have been out of town, but his absence was felt.

Danielle’s Gratitude

Danielle wrote on Instagram that this dance was a thank you from her and the millions of others to Mr. Feeny.

She explained that DWTS gave her a new platform and has now become her second career segment.

Unforgettable Moment

When Danielle performed “Feelings” on the jive and embraced Mr. Feeny, who was standing on set, that moment became part of TV history.

It wasn’t just a dance; it was an example of decades-long mentorship that touched everyone’s heart.
