Hey guys! Welcome to my Disney night recap of DWTS. This week, the show was on for 2 nights (Monday & Tuesday). So, let's get into it.
Night one:
Dance - Viennese Waltz
Song - "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" by Ilene Woods
Scores - 9, 8, 9, 9 = 35/40
My score - 9
This dance was so elegant. I loved it. Jojo's frame was so beautiful and she leads Jenna so well. She also has such beautiful lines. This was probably their best dance so far and it was so magical.

Dance - Jazz
Song - "Step in Time" by Dick Van Dyke
Scores - 7, 8, 8, 8 = 31/40
My score - 8
This dance was full of content, energy, and entertainment. However, parts of it was a bit messy and she was ahead of the music a bit. If the dance was performed a bit more cleanly and was perfected just a bit more, it would have been a phenomenal routine. It was still enjoyable but there were a few noticeable errors.

Dance - Quickstep
Song - "The Incredits" by Michael Giacchino
Scores - 6, 6, 7, 7 = 26/40
My score - 7
I loved watching this dance. Matt still has a few technical things to work out. They lacked body contact in hold at times and his footwork could be better but still very entertaining.

Dance - Paso Doble
Song - "I'll Make a Man Out of You" by Donny Osmond
Scores - 8, 7, 8, 7 + 2 = 32/40

Song - "You'll Be in My Heart" by Phil Collins
Scores - 8, 8, 8, 8 = 32/40

This dance was stunning. It was so fluid and Amanda has such beautiful lines. However, there was one little noticeable mistake but besides that, the dance was incredible.

Dance - Samba
Song - "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" by Jason Weaver, Rowan Atkinson, & Laura Williams
Scores - 8, 9, 9, 9 = 35/40

This dance was amazing and Olivia killed the samba technique. This was so full of content and Olivia nailed it all. It was very fun and entertaining to watch and these two just keep impressing me more and more every single week.

Dance - Quickstep
Song - "Friend Like Me"by Will Smith
Scores - 8, 7, 8, 8 = 31/40
My score - 8
This was so entertaining and the Miz killed it as a genie. This was so full of energy and the Miz hit every step. I still think his frame could improve just a little more and they could've had a bit more body contact in hold but still incredibly entertaining.

Scores - 7, 7, 8, 7 = 29/40

This dance was great. Kenya moves quite elegantly which was good for this dance. I also loved Brandon's choreography. I do think some of the steps could've been a bit smoother but still an amazing performance.

Scores - 8, 8, 9, 8 = 33/40

This dance was jam packed full of fun salsa content and Suni didn't miss a beat. I still think she could loosen up a bit more but still a solid routine that was so fun to watch.

It was so nice seeing these two back in the ballroom again. Cody killed his solo piece in the beginning and this dance was jam packed full of energy. I do think Cody's jive technique could've been a little bit better but it was still fun to watch and very energetic.

Dance - Jazz
Song - "Remember Me" by Benjamin Bratt
Scores - 8, 9, 9, 9 = 35/40
My score - 8
This was a super fun dance. I do feel, though, that this was a bit safe and they could've blown me away a bit more but it was still full of content and Olivia hit every move. I'm also constantly impressed with how well she can perform with no dance experience.
