"Happy birthday to my partner @WitneyCarson," he captioned the pic, which also featured fellow contestant James Hinchcliffe. "The best dancing @Ninja ever. @DancingABC #dwts."

He posted a similar selfie to Instagram, using the same caption.

The dance duo made their debut on the popular ABC reality competition series with a cha-cha-meets-hip-hop performance to Vanilla Ice's iconic hit, "Ice Ice Baby." Unfortunately, they were eliminated during the week four results show.

"It hit me on the first day. I was like, 'What kind of dancing is this?'" Vanilla Ice told ET ahead of the performance. "This is not what I'm used to."

"He's been so awesome," Carson added. "When he does his moves and he gets into it, it's so fun and I'm having such a great time. We have the cha-cha, so it's taking a lot of work but we're getting there."
