DWTS Disney Night Instagram

Dancing With The Stars is returning to Monday nights after a brief schedule change due to football. Monday, September 28, the ballroom will turn into the most magical place on earth. That’s right – it’s Disney Night! 

Some of the stars are coming off a rocky week 2 in the dance competition. In fact, Skai Jackson fell from the top of the leaderboard in week 1 to nearly the bottom after her second dance. But she will get another chance to redeem herself with a Jive to The Princess and the Frog’s “Almost There. 

Chrishell Stause Gets Her Cinderella Moment on DWTS

Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause opened up briefly about her troubled childhood. She told her partner Gleb, and the audience, about the time she was homeless as a kid. However, this week on DWTS, she gets to bring out her inner princess. She will dance a waltz to “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” from Cinderella. 

The Days of Our Lives alum could barely contain her excitement on her Instagram account. She wrote, “Is this real life-don’t wake me up if not.”

Her score for week 2 vastly improved after an uninspired performance in the premiere episode. Fans will have to tune in on Monday to see if Chrishell continues to improve on the dance floor! 

Will Carole Baskin Dance Another Cat-Themed Song? 

Carole Baskin appearing on Dancing With The Stars is something no one had on their 2020 bingo card. When fans found out, they DEMANDED that the Tiger King star dance to Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger.” They got their wish in the season premiere. 

In week 2, the cat theme continued with a Viennese Waltz to “What’s New Pussycat” by Tom Jones.

For Disney Night on DWTS, Carole Baskin will need to pick up the pace with a Samba. The song is, of course, Lion King’s “Circle of Life.”

Soul, Newsies, Up, Mary Poppins and More!

The Disney Night theme songs aren’t from just animated Disney movies. Live action movies such as Newsies and Mary Poppins will get a spin around the dance floor. Per Us Weekly, the rest of the dances include:
