Aldama, as pointed out by the judges on Monday, had shown growth throughout the season. The pair's first dance went for 19 points and up until their final dance of a 22, had reached their top mark of the season the week before with a 27.
In the Top 11, Aldama danced a rumba with her partner to Rod Stewart's "Have I Told You Lately" for the highest score of their dances. The 27 was tied with three other couples for the best of the night.
Coming onto the show, the Cheer star was eager to get started in the competition. In her announcement post on Instagram, Aldama said she was "so excited to be dancing in the ballroom" and bringing her cheerleading background into the competition.
Following her first time out on the floor, Aldama expressed her gratitude on Instagram, calling it an "exhilarating experience." She also thanked her partner for being "the most AMAZING partner ever."
On Disney Night, Aldama was able to tap into one of her favorite animated movies by taking on The Little Mermaid. She was able to channel her inner Ariel as Chmerkovskiy played the part of Prince Eric for "Part of Your World."
Prior to coming onto Dancing With the Stars, Aldama gained fame for starring in the hit Netflix series, Cheer. She is the coach of the Navarro College co-ed cheer team located in Corsicana, Texas.
Dancing With the Stars will return next Monday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. With the elimination of Aldama, there are now just nine pairs remaining in the quest for the Mirror Ball Trophy.
