"Dancing with the Stars professional Tony Dovolani has offered an update on Melissa Rycroft&amp;#039;s condition following last week&amp;#039;s neck injury. Rycroft suffered the head and neck injuries while taking part in Dancing with the Stars&amp;#039; camera rehearsals last Monday (October 22).  She and Dovolani were able to carry on with their freestyle and tango routines and are to return to the ballroom this evening (October 29) for Country Week. Dovolani told Access Hollywood that Rycroft is working hard in rehearsals to overcome the pain. &amp;quot;Melissa&amp;#039;s doing famously. The injury is there and she&amp;#039;s managing the pain - she&amp;#039;s doing therapy for it,&amp;quot; he revealed. The dancer continued: &amp;quot;This week we have the Viennese waltz, which is in some ways a blessing, because it doesn&amp;#039;t involve her neck as much - it gives her a break. &amp;quot;But I kept it just as challenging on everything else, because, as you know, this is the All-Stars season and you can&amp;#039;t take it easy.&amp;quot;  Dovolani went on to predict that Rycroft will rise above her injury to earn top scores from the judges. &amp;quot;Melissa&amp;#039;s my trooper. She brings a whole new meaning to the word mom - moms are not people you mess with - she can handle pain,&amp;quot; he declared. &amp;quot;And she really wants to do well - she was not going to let this stand in our way\u2026 I truly feel that [Melissa] is the best chance I&amp;#039;ve ever had at winning.&amp;quot; It was announced on Sunday (October 28) that Taylor Swift and Jason Mraz will perform on Tuesday&amp;#039;s (October 30) results show. Dancing with the Stars continues tonight at 8/7c on ABC. Watch Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani&amp;#039;s tango below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
