Hayley
Erbert
is
back
in
the
ballroom.

Nearly
one
year
after
a
harrowing
medical
emergency,
the
dancer
gave
an
emotional
performance
alongside
her
husband,


Dancing
With
the
Stars
judge


Derek
Hough,
on
the
Oct.
15
episode
of
the
competition,
dancing
to
“Beautiful
Things”
by

Benson
Boone
as
part
of
the
season’s
Dedication
Night.

The
pair
took
to
the
floor
barefoot,
wearing
rose
pink
ensembles
while
delivering
a
graceful
and
romantic
routine,
embracing
on
the
lyrics “Oh
I
hope
I
don’t
lose
you.”
They
finished
their
dance
with
a
kiss. 

The
performance
marked
Hayley’s
triumphant
return
to
the
series
after

undergoing
emergency
surgery
on
her
skull
last
December
to
treat
a
burst
blood
vessel.
In
a
pre-recorded
segment
aired
prior
to
their
performance,
Derek
opened
up
about
the
scary
incident,
which
occurred
during
the
couple’s

Symphony
of
Dance
tour
stop
in
Washington
D.C. 

“I
was
onstage
and
she
was
supposed
to
come
out,”
the
39-year-old
recalled.
“The
stage
manager
just
walked
out
and
said,
‘Hey,
she’s
not
coming
onstage.’
She
was
on
the
side
of
the
stage
having
full
seizures
and
essentially
dying.”
