Robert Irwin stole the show as "Dancing with the Stars" kicked off its 34th season Tuesday night.
The wildlife conservationist jumped off of a car for his premiere dance -- a jive -- which he pulled off in his signature khaki pants and alongside his pro partner Witney Carson.
The duo danced, naturally, to none other than Steppenwolf's 1968 classic “Born to Be Wild” and Irwin even performed another jump over Carson as they dazzled the live audience.
Judge Derek Hough called the performance "probably the best first dance I’ve ever seen on this show."
Afterward, Carson praised Irwin's moves.
"He did incredible, like I am so proud," Carson said.
But Irwin credited Carson for their stunning success.
"Every success on the dance floor is her fault," Irwin said.
The other contestants also brought their A-game, with Jordan Chiles doing flips to Beyonce's "Break My Soul" with her partner Ezra Sosa and Whitney Leavitt and pro Mark Ballas shining as they tangoed to "Golden" from the hit movie "KPop Demon Hunters."
Baron Davis also channeled MC Hammer as he and pro Britt Stewart danced the cha cha to Hammer's “U Can’t Touch This.”
Jen Affleck was all smiles as she and pro Jan Ravnik did the salsa to “NUEVAToL” by Bad Bunny and Alix Earle and pro Val Chmerkovskiy also brought the heat with a ring of fire prop before they performed a cha cha to Britney Spears' "Circus."
Danielle Fishel and pro Pasha Pashkov performed an emotional tango to “Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)” by Kelly Clarkson, a meaningful performance over a year after Fishel revealed a breast cancer diagnosis.
Fishel said that joining "Dancing with the Stars" was a part of her "year of yes."
"Nothing will make you realize you’re not living life the way you want to live it like a cancer diagnosis," Fishel said. "And so I just wanted to say yes to more joy."
