'Dancing with the Stars' Disney night: Which couples are dancing to 'Beauty and the Beast', 'Hamilton', and more? Check who all are performing

The ballroom is set to turn into a Disney musical as Dancing with the Stars brings its annual Disney Night to the dance floor. This year, the show is adding a Broadway twist, with eight celebrity couples preparing routines inspired by popular Disney stories and stage shows. The special episode will air on Monday, November 2, instead of the show’s usual Tuesday slot. Singer and actor Cynthia Erivo will join the judging panel as a guest judge, alongside Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli. The episode will also feature the return of the team dances.

Which DWTS couples are performing on Disney Night?

The official lineup includes a mix of dance styles and songs from Disney favourites. Here is what each couple is preparing:

1. Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy: Quickstep to “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast
2. Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson: Jazz to “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from Mary Poppins
3. Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa: Paso doble to “Satisfied” from Hamilton
4. Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik: Contemporary to “Easy as Life” from Aida
5. Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov: Quickstep to “A Star Is Born” from Hercules
6. Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas: Jive to “You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!” from Peter Pan
7. Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach: Samba to “Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid
8. Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold: Waltz to “I See the Light” from Tangled

The song choices draw from Disney films and their stage adaptations, giving the contestants a chance to bring familiar musical numbers to life through ballroom choreography.

Team dances and Broadway performances

The team-dance round is also returning. One group will perform to “Zoo” from Zootopia 2, while the other will dance to “We’re All in This Together” from High School Musical. Hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough are set to take part in the team performances. The episode will also feature live performances from Broadway artists. According to ABC’s announcement, Heather Headley, Kyra Belle Johnson, Michael James Scott and Rodney Ingram will join the show for selected routines.

Why is DWTS airing on Monday?

The show has moved Disney Night to Monday because ABC will carry election coverage on Tuesday, November 3. The episode will air live on ABC and Disney+ at 8 p.m. Eastern time, with streaming available the following day on Hulu. With Disney classics, Broadway songs and team routines lined up, the episode promises a lively night in the ballroom. The judges’ scores and viewer votes will help decide which couples remain in the competition.
