Jodie Sweetin performed a Cha Cha with her partner Keo Motsepe to “Try Everything”, a song from Disney’s latest hit Zootopia.

Wanya Morris and his partner Lindsay Arnold danced an amazing samba to “‘Circle of Life” from The Lion King. They received 35 out of 40 and astounded the judges but Carrie Ann was quoted saying, “You over-danced it a bit in the beginning.”
The final couple of the night was Paige VanZant and Mark Ballas dancing a quickstep to “You’ve Got A Friend in Me” from Toy Story. The creativity of the dance earned them a 36 out of 40 and thus tying for first place!
In the end, everyone was safe except for Jodie and Keo and Marla and Tony. Sadly, Marla and Tony were the couple to unfortunately sent home this week. Still, it was another very successful and entertaining Disney Night on Dancing with the Stars! We look forward to the rest of this season and more Disney Nights in the future.
