She had the time of her life.

Jennifer Grey scored the first 10s of the season on Dancing With The Stars Monday, as the 50-year-old Dirty Dancing star's tango with partner Derek Hough wowed the show's judges -- including the hard-to-please Bruno Tonioli, who dubbed her dance a "primetime delight."

The show changed its scoring system and its dance floor to spice up Monday's program, as the dancers were judged for both the technical aspects of their dance, and the actual performance itself, which took place on an elevated, round stage.

Grey's dance scored 56 out of 60 possible points -- three 9-point scores for technique, and two 10s and a nine for the performance -- which put her over Brandy (48 points) and Audrina Patridge (46 points) for the night's highest score.

Dancing With The Stars continues Tuesday at 9/8c on ABC.
