Hey guys! Welcome to this week's DWTS recap. This week was disney night. This week, each couple did an individual dance & a team dance.
I'm not going to waste any time, so I'm just going to jump right into it.

Dance: Charleston
Song: "A Star Is Born" from Hercules
Judges' scores: 8, 8, 8 = 24/30
My score: 8
I liked this dance and the choreo. It was just really flat footed for me and a little bit messy. They're so much fun to watch, though.
Check out their dance: Stephen Nedoroscik’s Disney Night Charleston – Dancing with the Stars - YouTube

Dance: Rumba
Song: "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid
Judges' scores: 8, 8, 8 = 24/30
My score: 8
This was really pretty. She had nice lines and her legs were nice and straight. It was a bit messy here and there and some parts were a bit wobbly but I still enjoyed watching it.

Dance: Samba
Song: "Trashin' the Camp" from Tarzan
Judges' scores: 8, 8, 9 = 25/30
My score: 8.5
This wasn't his best dance but it was still incredibly good. I loved every second of it, especially the drumming part. It had me gagged. The choreo was everything. It was just little flatfooted.
Check out their dance: Joey Graziadei’s Disney Night Samba – Dancing with the Stars

Dance: Paso Doble
Song: "We Own the Night" from Zombies 2
Judges' scores: 9, 9, 9 = 27/30
My score: 9
I loved the choreo. I loved the attack and it was so sharp. I don't think it was her best dance but it was pretty close.
Check out their dance: Chandler Kinney’s Disney Night Paso Doble – Dancing with the Stars

Dance: Jazz
Song: "Cruella De Vil" from 101 Dalmatians
Judges' scores: 8, 8, 8 = 24/30
My score: 7.5
I'm sorry but I just didn't love this. I liked the choreo and it was pretty sexy. It was just a bit messy and I feel like her moves were a bit small and she was kind of hesitant during the dance. It just seemed like she was waiting on Val to move first.
Check out their dance: Phaedra Parks’ Disney Night Jazz – Dancing with the Stars

Dance: Jazz
Song: "Bye Bye Bye" from Deadpool & Wolverine
Judges' scores: 9, 9, 9 = 27/30
My score: 9
This was so fun and I loved the concept. Some parts seemed a tad stiff to me, but he has been impressing me a lot so far.
Check out their dance: Danny Amendola’s Disney Night Jazz – Dancing with the Stars

Dance: Tango
Song: "When Can I See You Again?" from Wreck-It Ralph
Judges' scores: 8, 8, 8 24/30
My score: 7.5
This was fun and I think this was one of his better dances. His frame was pretty good and it was pretty sharp. However, he is still a bit stiff and he is still probably the worst one left which is very unfortunate because he is so much fun to watch. He's hilarious and I love his facial expressions.
Check out their dance: Dwight Howard’s Disney Night Tango – Dancing with the Stars

Dance: Jazz
Song: "Surface Pressure" from Encanto
Judges' scores: 9, 8, 8 = 25/30
My score: 9
This was so fun and I loved the choreo. If I had to give one critique, though, it would be that she just needs to loosen up a bit more but this was one of her best dances so far.
Check out their dance: Ilona Maher’s Disney Night Jazz – Dancing with the Stars
Team dances:

Song: "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" from The Lion King
Judges' scores: 8, 8, 8 = 24/30
My score: 8
This wasn’t bad by any means. I just didn’t love it. I was just kind of underwhelmed and left wanting more. It was also a little bit messy in some parts but I liked the choreo.
Check out their dance: Team Roar’s Disney Night Dance – Dancing with the Stars

Song: "I 2 I" from A Goofy Movie
Judges' scores: 9, 9, 9 = 27/30
My score: 10
I loved this! I loved the choreo and the whole Ilona & Jenna lift had me shook. This was so fun and I loved every second of it.
