Sia, along with former Dancing with the Stars champions Derek and Julianne Hough, completely broke the TV performance mold for that show with their finale performance to her single “Elastic Heart.”
Sia performed in her now-trademark face-obscuring wig and a pinstriped suit along with choreographed dancing, a la her GRAMMYs performance. The Hough siblings took one side of a mirror image set, while their doppelgängers as children were on the other half.

The four dancers performed a routine that was at times complementary and in sync, creating something visually so unusual that it has to be seen to be understood.
The choreography finds them swinging from pieces of the set, flinging each other around in mock fights and breaking windows, all while Sia watches on.
“Elastic Heart” is the fourth single off Sia’s 1000 Forms of Fear.
