What the celebs are performing to on Dancing with the Stars’ Movie Night

Dancing with the Stars’ Movie Night is back this weekend! And we couldn’t be more excited.

It’s time to see if the contestants can give blockbuster performances this Sunday.

Following last week’s shock first elimination of comedian and actor Michael Fry and his pro partner Kylee Vincent, everything is still to play for. The eleven remaining couples will perform routines inspired by some of the biggest movies of all time.

See what everyone will be dancing to…

Paudie Moloney and Laura Nolan

He will be yabba-dabba-doing a Charleston with Laura Nolan to the theme from The Flintstones.

Movie Week will be especially meaningful for Eurovision winner Niamh Kavanagh, who dances a Foxtrot to ‘Destination Anywhere’ from The Commitments with her partner Stephen Vincent.

Niamh auditioned for a role in the film in the early 1990s and, while she missed out on appearing onscreen, her lead vocal featured prominently on the soundtrack. This Sunday marks a full-circle moment as she dances to her own vocal from the movie.

Philip Doyle and Daniela Roze
