\u00a9 Disney<\/span><\/div>\nDylan Efron and Daniella Karagach perform on Disney Night on Dancing with the Stars<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Fifth Harmony singer Lauren Jauregui’s elimination last week rocked the cast, which Dylan acknowledged without naming names in his opening package. “I’m more motivated to stay in this competition, because one off week and you could be gone,” he said. Dancing to a song from the animated movie Cars, Dylan adds “this song brings me right back to growing up,” recalling road tripping and rock climbing with his friends. (We personally think a song from High School Musical would take him back to growing up as younger brother to HSM star Zac Efron, but OK.) Dylan and Daniella opened the show with a lively, country-inspired quickstep that led judge Derek Hough to dub him “Dylan McQueen, the quickstep king.” Bruno “hitting the highway to the final,” highlighting Dylan’s ability to put in the work on the details and listen to every bit of critique sent his way. \u00a0Dylan also claims he has “something special for next week,” should he survive this week. (Spoiler alert: he did.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a9 Disney<\/span><\/div>\nDanielle Fishel and Pasha Pashkov perform on Disney Night on Dancing with the Stars<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Dance:\u00a0<\/strong>Quickstep to \u201cI Wan\u2019na Be Like You (The Monkey Song)\u201d from The Jungle Book\u00a0<\/p>\nDanielle grew up in California and recalls watching Disneyland fireworks from her grandfather’s driveway in Anaheim, where Disneyland is located. “No matter what’s going on in the outside world, you can leave your problems at the gate,” she said. With fast feet and space buns meant to represent bear ears (Danielle was Baloo the bear, Pasha was King Louie the monkey), the two further amped up the Disney Night energy. Bruno said the dance properly encapsulates the energy of the film, but the timing for part of the dance was off. “Never apologize, my darling, because you learn from it,” the judge said. “Otherwise, it was really, really a very good, dynamic dance.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Score:<\/strong> 21\/30 (Carrie Ann: 7, Derek: 7, Bruno: 7)<\/p>\nPentatonix singer Scott Hoying and pro Rylee Arnold\u00a0<\/h2>\n
Dance:\u00a0<\/strong> Salsa to \u201cBop to the Top\u201d from High School Musical<\/p>\nAt least we get some sort of High School Musical acknowledgement, even if it isn’t from an actual Efron. Scott played Ryan’s (Lucas Grabeel) love interest in season four of the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series reboot, “which is the reason Ryan comes out on the show, which was really cool for me,” Scott said. Scott and Rylee make the perfect Ryan and Sharpay stand-ins with a dance that mirrored the energy, fun and competitive nature of the original HSM performance. “Content was great, choreography was fantastic, you two together: wonderful,” Carrie Ann said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Score:<\/strong> 21\/30 (Carrie Ann: 7, Derek: 7, Bruno: 7)<\/p>\nTikTok star Alix Earle and pro Val Chmerkovskiy<\/h2>\n
Dance:\u00a0<\/strong>Viennese Waltz to \u201cOnce Upon a Dream\u201d from Maleficent\u00a0<\/p>\nAlix is bad in the best way as the villain from Sleeping Beauty, decked out in Maleficent’s horns and long, black talons. “I think it ‘ll be so much fun to channel an evil character for me. I want to prove to everyone I am taking it seriously,” she said. Their dance is an ode to a toxic relationship, and judges agreed she nailed the creepy, haunting fantasy with technical movement and major attitude. “That was mesmerizing, it was magical, it was spellbinding,” Derek said. “To have that power, that grace, that fluidity to really sell like you are manipulating Val, that takes such awareness of your own body.” Alix said her “once upon a dream” was to get her highest scores yet, and those dreams came true.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Score:<\/strong> 24\/30 (Carrie Ann: 8, Derek: 8, Bruno: 8)<\/p>\nHilaria Baldwin and pro Gleb Savchenko\u00a0<\/h2>\n
Dance:\u00a0<\/strong>Quickstep to \u201cCantina Band\u201d from Star Wars: A New Hope\u00a0<\/p>\nHilaria and Alec Baldwin are apparently both huge Star Wars fans, and were thrilled to get to bring their entire family to Disneyland to visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. “The fact that we get to combine that with dance is incredible,” Hilaria said, claiming she’s never done the quickstep before. “The force is still with you,” Bruno told a Princess Leia-inspired jumpsuit-wearing Hilaria. “I watched very closely to everything you did tonight, really analyzing. I was looking for something wrong. I didn’t see anything.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Score:<\/strong> 23\/30 (Carrie Ann: 8, Derek: 7, Bruno: 8)<\/p>\nComedian Andy Richter and pro Emma Slater\u00a0<\/h2>\n
Dance:\u00a0<\/strong> Viennese Waltz to \u201cLe Festin\u201d from Ratatouille\u00a0<\/p>\nAndy has opened up about feeling overwhelmed with emotion after the public rallying behind his DWTS run, even if his scores are consistently on the lower end of the spectrum. “Last week, I experienced what dancing was all about,” Andy said. “I started to cry, and I was so happy doing this dance. I want to stay here as long as I can.” Dressed in chef’s attire next to Emma in a full mouse beat, Andy “cooked,” as the kids say, bringing a performance that showed clear improvement and showmanship from the comedian. “You produce such memorable moments, and everybody is going to remember this dance from tonight,” Carrie Ann said. But as the competition heats up, judges want Andy to add more content to his performances.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Score:<\/strong> 18\/30 (Carrie Ann: 6, Derek: 6, Bruno: 6)<\/p>\nWildlife conservationist Robert Irwin and pro Witney Carson\u00a0<\/h2>\n
Dance:\u00a0<\/strong> Cha cha to \u201cTry Everything\u201d from Zootopia\u00a0<\/p>\nIt’s another animal-themed performance for zookeeper Robert, who said his “family had quite a bit to say after the show” last week, when he went viral after ripping his shirt off mid-performance. Robert voices a character named Robert Furwin in Zootopia 2, in theaters November 28, and he and Witney caught an early screening at Disneyland this week. “This song embodies my spirit,” Robert said. Entering the dance floor from a lift hanging in the air, Robert implemented hip action that would make Shakira proud. “You turned from a snappy salty into a cuddly koala. I saw a completely different side, which means you can play different parts,” Bruno said, though judges didn’t think it was Robert’s best performance of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Score:<\/strong> 22\/30 (Carrie Ann: 7, Derek: 7, Bruno: 8)<\/p>\nThe Parent Trap actress Elaine Hendrix and pro Alan Bersten\u00a0<\/h2>\n
Dance:\u00a0<\/strong> Quickstep to \u201cSpace Mountain\u201d from the Space Mountain ride\u00a0<\/p>\nElaine has appeared in a few Disney films herself, but this week she’s celebrating her connection to the iconic Disney Parks ride, Space Mountain, instead. “I was part of the pre-ride entertainment,” Elaine said, recalling playing a news anchor in videos that would play for guests prior to boarding the actual ride. “This is a whole full-circle moment for me.” She aimed to implement judges’ feedback from last week in a joyful, extraterrestrial quickstep. Elaine was “going at warp speed,” Bruno said, adding that she was “keeping up with it without making any error.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Score:<\/strong> 24\/30 (Carrie Ann: 8, Derek: 8, Bruno: 8)<\/p>\nThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt and pro Mark Ballas\u00a0<\/h2>\n
Dance:\u00a0<\/strong> Foxtrot to \u201cThe Room Where It Happens\u201d from Hamilton\u00a0<\/p>\nIt’s not a typical Disney production (and doesn’t have any ties to Disneyland), but the Broadway hit is currently available to stream on Disney+, which makes it Disney enough for Disney night. Whitney danced like she was running out of time in a smooth musical theater adaptation full of just as much energy and effort as Lin Manuel Miranda brought to the titular Hamilton on Broadway. “I was watching it and my lip was quivering. it’s so good,” Carrie Ann said. “The precision, the technicality, the gliding, the painting of the picture was incredible.” Derek added some more high praise: “Get these two on broadway, stat.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Score:<\/strong> 25\/30 (Carrie Ann: 9, Derek: 8, Bruno: 8)<\/p>\nOlympic Gymnast Jordan Chiles and pro Ezra Sosa\u00a0<\/h2>\n
Dance:\u00a0<\/strong>Quickstep to \u201cSpecial Spice\u201d from Tiana\u2019s Bayou Adventure ride\u00a0<\/p>\nSplash Mountain was rebranded and redesigned to celebrate The Princess and the Frog in 2024. “She’s the first Black princess,” Jordan said. “As a little girl I was able to be like, ‘you know what, if this is her story, my story can be as magical as hers.” The gymnast was more than “almost there” with her performance dressed as Princess Tiana, which Bruno called “brilliant, vivacious and always elegant.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Score:<\/strong> 24\/30 (Carrie Ann: 8, Derek: 8, Bruno: 8)<\/p>\nThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck and pro Jan Ravnik\u00a0<\/h2>\n
Dance:\u00a0<\/strong>Jazz to \u201cFriend Like Me\u201d from Aladdin\u00a0<\/p>\nJen promised to “kick it into gear this week” after receiving lower scores than she had hoped. Jen, her husband and children hopped on the It’s a Small World ride, joined by “Uncle Jan” \u2014 who, BWT just appeared in Taylor Swift’s new music video this week. The duo served as the grand finale for Disney night with a glittering Aladdin tribute featuring cartwheels, back walkovers, breakdancing and more flips. Bruno called the performance “spectacular, theatrical magic”; but Carrie Ann lamented that it wasn’t quite as challenging as she had hoped.<\/p>\n
