Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl Burke display their best performance of the season with the rumba on DWTS

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco continued his improvement for the second straight week after he and Cheryl Burke performed the rumba during the fourth week of ABC's Dancing With The Stars.

This week, each couple had the option to perform either the tango or the rumba as their fourth dance of the season. Ochocinco and Burke were looking for another strong performance from a Latin routine as they chose to go with the rumba—also known as the dance of love.

For the first time this season, the couples received two separate scores for technique and performance from the judges. The days of nine-hour practices paid off as they received scores of 21 for technique and 23 for performance—topping their previous high score of 20.

Last week, Ochocinco and Burke bounced back with the Paso Dablo after a disastrous performance of the fox trot that left that received nothing but criticism from the judges. Len Goodman said it best when he compared the performance to a snow storm—glad when it's finally over.

After the rumba, the argument can be made Ochocinco's performance this week was his best of the season. Not only did No. 85 show improvement in his posture, but the hip movement was impressive—which is why the judges couldn’t help but rave Chad for the progress he’s made over the last four weeks.

Of course, whether or not Ochocinco advances to the top 8 depends on the votes received from the fans. The couple will return Tuesday night to find out if they will advance to the third week of the competition. Fans can vote for the two by clicking here or calling 1-800-VOTE4-01.
