Helio Castroneves and his professional dance partner, Chelsie Hightower, got the opening-week jitters out of the way and can concentrate on their next performance for "Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars."

The couple received a total score of 21.5 of 30 from the three-judge panel for their Foxtrot on the Sept. 24 show on ABC. Combined with fan voting through multiple platforms, they weren't in danger of being eliminated on the Sept. 25 results show.

Actress Pamela Anderson was the first to be dropped from the competition. Drew Lachey and Bristol Palin were the other couples in danger of going home early. Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke received the highest total score (24.5) from the judges for their Cha-Cha-Cha.

“I’m very relieved.  Everybody’s so good,” Castroneves said. “I want to thank the fans because without them, certainly I wouldn’t be able to be here.”  

Castroneves and Hightower looked ahead to next week's dance.

“We have the Jive, so it’s going to be a very fun, fast-paced, upbeat dance,” Hightower said.  “We start practicing in the morning.”

The Team Penske driver recalled that “Jive wasn’t one of my very strong dances five years ago. It was not bad, but it wasn’t strong and hopefully Chelsie can help me out and improve me. I know we’re going to need a lot of water because that’s one of the toughest dances of all time, I would say, but I’m up for the challenge. I really want to do it for her.”

Castroneves and his professional dance partner, Julianne Hough, received 24 of the possible 30 points for the Jive in Week 3 and improved that total by one in Week 10.

Castroneves' fellow Season 5 competitor, Sabrina Bryan, whose All-Star partner is Louis Van Amstel, said she's in the three-time Indianapolis 500 champion's cheering section.

“Helio’s got such an awesome charm when it comes to dancing.  I love that guy so much.  He hasn’t missed a beat since Season 5,” the Cheetah Girl gushed.
