'Dancing with the Stars' season 30 recap: Who reigned supreme on Disney Heroes Night?
"Dancing With the Stars" fans took a trip to the happiest place on Earth when the cast celebrated Disney Heroes Night on Monday and saluted animated heroes from Snow White to those who will appear in the upcoming feature, "Encanto."
Because the night was full of Disney magic, no one was sent home. However, the cast can't breathe a sigh of relief just yet. Instead, they have to perfect an entirely different routine when "DWTS" returns Tuesday to celebrate Disney Villains Night.
That meant several competitors turned up the heat to let the audience know they are in it to win the coveted Mirror Ball trophy. Both NBA star Iman Shumpert and country singer Jimmie Allen pushed themselves on the ballroom floor and earned high praise from the judges for their efforts.
Allen, who again tugged on the heartstrings by opening up about losing his dad to kidney failure in 2019, celebrated his father's life with a "Mulan"-inspired pasodoble. He also crushed the Mickey Moves challenge, where all competitors had to include a set of specific moves into their routine, and earned himself the first two bonus points of the season.
However, "The Office" alum Melora Hardin demonstrated the greatest improvement with her dazzling "Jungle Book"-inspired quickstep the judges dubbed best dance of the night. They handed her the first straight nines of the season, for an overall score of 36 out of 40, landing her atop the standings.
Meanwhile, "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum Brian Austin Green could be in danger of going home, as he's currently sitting at the bottom of the pack with just 25 out of 40. The judges found his waltz to "Someday My Prince Will Come" from "Snow White" a little too romantic, and requested that he and Sharna Burgess, his partner and girlfriend, dial it down for next time.
Here are the current standings:
"The Office" alum Melora Hardin and Artem Chivensky -- 36/40
Nickelodeon star JoJo Siwa and Jenna Johnson -- 35/40
Influencer Olivia Jade and Val Chmerkovskiy -- 35/40
Olympic Gold medalist Suni Lee and Sasha Farber -- 33/40
Country music singer Jimmie Allen and Emma Slater -- 32/40
"The Talk" co-host Amanda Kloots and Alan Bersten -- 32/40
WWE superstar Mike "The Miz" Mizanin and Witney Carson -- 31/40
Spice Girl singer Melanie C and Gleb Savchenko -- 31/40
NBA player Iman Shumpert and Daniella Karagach -- 30/40
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore and Brandon Armstrong -- 29/40
Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby and Cheryl Burke -- 27/40
Former "Bachelor" star Matt James and Lindsey Arnold -- 26/40
"Beverly Hills, 90210" alum Brian Austin Green and Sharna Burgess -- 25/40
