Many dancers made a big change during the Disney night on Dancing With the Stars.
Adrian Peterson finally let the audience see a softer side during his Viennese waltz – something he’s also been working on at home with a newborn baby. Although he said it was a challenging time in his life, the focus really paid off as he and his partner Britt Stewart received their first 7s.
Meanwhile, Xochitl Gomez admitted she was afraid of how strict Val Chmerkovskiy was during rehearsals for her very difficult Paso Doble. But that work ethic proved useful – they achieved their best result yet with three nines and felt closer than ever to the top of the leaderboard.
Ariana Madix was also nervous as she performed the first contemporary routine of the season with her partner Pasha Pashkov. As she became more comfortable in the setting, she was able to use her theater routes for the routine.
The Disney night also featured a surprise appearance from last season’s MVP Selma Blair, who stopped by for Alyson Hannigan and Sasha Farber’s jazz rehearsal.
Even on the happiest nights of the season, a couple had to go home. This week Adrian Peterson and Britt Stewart were eliminated.
