The ninth episode of Dancing With the Stars season 35 centered on Disney Night, incorporating Broadway adaptations of Disney stories. Performances drew from classical Disney films including Mary Poppins, The Little Mermaid, Tangled, and Beauty and the Beast.
The episode marked the return of group dances, with co-hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough each leading one team performance. Guest judge Cynthia Erivo joined the judging panel for the night. Three couples achieved perfect scores: Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson scored 40/40 for their jazz routine to “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” while Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy also earned 40/40 for their quickstep to “Be Our Guest.” Team Wildcats, led by Julianne Hough, received a perfect 40/40 for their group performance.
Harry and Jenna Johnson secured immunity from the following week’s dance-off based on their cumulative season score of 236, edging out Jenna and Val’s 235. Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa were eliminated after the night’s competition, having scored 33/40 for their paso doble to Hamilton’s “Satisfied.”
Seven couples remain in the competition: Tatyana Ali, Jenna Dewan, Ezra Frech, Amber Glenn, Maura Higgins, Harry Shum Jr., and Connor Wood. The show continues to air on Tuesdays at 8 p.m., broadcasting simultaneously on ABC and Disney+ with episodes available on Hulu the following day.
