Dancing with the Stars Season 29: It's Disney Night!

Skai and Alan danced a Jive-- Derek was not crazy about it, he said her weight was so far back that she looked stiff. Bruno said you needed more in the legs, but you did a good job. Carrie Ann said she looked nervous, but she got back on track. Score: 18/30

Monica and Val danced a Waltz to The Little Mermaid-- Carrie Ann said when you  have fun, we have fun watching you. I thought she was very transformed this week. Derek said to pay attention to her feet, but much better job. Score: 21/30

Justina and Sasha danced a Charleston to Mary Poppins-- Derek said he didn't get the footwork part from her, he got steps. Bruno said you're almost addictive. He agreed with Derek though that she needed to be sharper on the footwork. Justina has a great energy, I think she needs to continue to work though because if she doesn't improve she could see herself at the bottom. Score: 19/30

AJ and Cheryl danced a Quick Step to Aladdin-- AJ really gets into character! I love that! Such great showmanship. Derek said you always make me smile, you're so committed to every performance. Bruno loved it, he said Vin Diesel as Aladdin fast and furious. Carrie Ann said now you feel comfortable, your elbow dropped a little bit. Score:21/30

Anne and Keo danced a Quick Step to Hercules-- Bruno said it was entertaining. Carrie Ann said it started off so well, but it felt like you guys were on the same page. Derek said learn to dance the whole routine by yourself so you're not as dependent on Keo. Score: 15/30

Jeannie and Brandon danced a Viennese Waltz  to Up-- Derek said this was beautiful; your best performance. Carrie Ann praised the balance in their partnership. Bruno said it was pure storytelling, you captured the essence of the film, performance art.  Score: 22/30

Nelly and Daniella danced Foxtrot a to Soul--  Derek said the frame was smooth. Bruno said Nelly was charming and we saw a proper Foxtrot. Carrie Ann said there is a naturalness to you that is enjoyable to watch. I think Nelly was underscored! I thought he was great!!! Score: 18/30

Carole and Pasha danced a Samba to The Lion King-- Carrie Ann said she danced with love but it lacked a lot of things. Derek said it lacked the bounce. It was pretty bad, probably worse than her first dance. Score: 12/30

Kaitlyn and Artem danced a Rumba to Moana-- Wow!!! She was really excellent, took my breath away. Carrie Ann said far and away the best dance of the night. Derek said you are beautiful dancer, so much fluidity, so lyrical. Bruno praised her as well. Score: 23/30

Vernon and Peta danced a Quickstep to Beauty and the Beast-- Derek said real mean play candlesticks. Bruno said you have tamed the beast. You exude confidence, you still have some stuff to work on but you're great. Carrie Ann said you created one of my favorite dances of the night. She loved how he slowed down his energy to match Peta's. I agree with Carrie Ann, this was so fun, and I think Vernon's confidence really sold it. Score: 22/30

Nev and Jenna danced an Argentine Tango to Pirates of the Caribbean-- Oh wow! That was so good, I just love that dance in general, but so so good. Bruno said he stayed in character and managed to maintain the dance all the way through. Carrie Ann appreciated that they didn't hide behind lifts. Derek said now we're cooking with hot sauce, you nailed that. Score: 24/30

Johnny and Britt danced a to Mulan-- Carrie Ann saw the transformation. Derek thought his lines were beautiful. Bruno said your shapes and extensions were exquisite, but what I really saw was the emotion. Aww I knew Johnny's hard work would pay off. Score: 24/30

Jesse and Sharna danced a Jive to Newsies-- They were good! That was unexpected. I did not know Jesse could dance that good. Derek didn't feel this dance as  much. Bruno said it was clean and youthful and you played the role brilliantly. He said your footwork was light. Carrie Ann thought he had good storytelling but his musicality was off. Score: 20/30

Chrishell and Gleb danced a Waltz to Cinderella-- They both played the part perfectly. She was so graceful, Gleb did such a good job.  Bruno said you look like the ultimate Disney Princess. Carrie Ann said you guys are magic together. She told her to work on her shoulders. Derek said feet together on the turns, but this was a beautiful dance, you're a real life Cinderella. Score: 22/30

At the end of the night it came down to Anne and Keo and Carole and Pasha. The judges unanimously saved Anne and Keo. 

I really hope Anne and Keo do not go home next week because Anne is working so hard and really wants to be there.
