Ilona Maher, Alan Bersten attempt viral 'DWTS' TikTok dance move in hilarious video

WATCH: Olympian Ilona Maher says all body types can dance

Ilona Maher and her "Dancing with the Stars" partner Alan Bersten aren’t afraid to try new dance moves.

In a TikTok video that Maher shared on Monday, she and her “Dancing with the Stars” partner Bersten attempt to recreate Witney Carson’s and Danny Amendola’s epic floor lift from their dedication night dance routine.

The move features one dancer pulling their partner off the ground by their ankle as their partner lies on their back. The move appears to require a lot of leg and ab strength.
