| Couple | Dance | Song | From | Dance score | Team score | Night total | Result |
| Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson | Jazz | “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” | Mary Poppins | 40/40 | 40/40 | 80/80 | Safe |
| Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy | Quickstep | “Be Our Guest” | Beauty and the Beast | 40/40 | 40/40 | 80/80 | Safe |
| Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach | Samba | “Under the Sea” | The Little Mermaid | 37/40 | 40/40 | 77/80 | Safe |
| Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold | Waltz | “I See the Light” | Tangled | 32/40 | 40/40 | 72/80 | Safe |
| Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov | Quickstep | “A Star Is Born” | Hercules | 34/40 | 36/40 | 70/80 | Safe |
| Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik | Contemporary | “Easy as Life” | Aida | 33/40 | 36/40 | 69/80 | Safe |
| Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa | Paso doble | “Satisfied” | Hamilton | 33/40 | 36/40 | 69/80 | Eliminated |
| Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas | Jive | “You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!” | Peter Pan | 32/40 | 36/40 | 68/80 | Safe |
Individual dances were scored out of 40 by Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli and guest judge Cynthia Erivo. Each couple also received their team’s score, also out of 40. The night totals are our own sums. Broadway singers, among them Heather Headley, performed live during several routines. The episode moved to Monday because of Election Day.
Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa danced a paso doble to “Satisfied” from Hamilton and scored 33 out of 40, a solid recovery from the 26 they got on Horror Movie Night, when guest judge Shirley Ballas gave Stiles a 4. Their team, Slaytopia, added 36, so they finished the night on 69 out of 80.
That was not the lowest total of the night. Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas finished on 68 after a jive to “You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!” from Peter Pan, and they stayed. With viewer votes added to the judges’ scores, Stiles and Sosa ended up at the bottom. Over eight weeks, the couple scored 238 judges’ points, more than Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold (236) and Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik (229), who both remain.
It is the second week in a row that fan voting has overturned the scoreboard. Last week, Jackson Olson went home after a 35, as we covered in our Horror Movie Night double elimination breakdown.
Disney Night split the remaining eight couples into two teams, and each team’s score was added to every member’s total.
The four-point gap mattered. Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold had tied for the lowest individual score with 32, but the Wildcats’ 40 lifted them to 72 for the night, ahead of all four Slaytopia couples.
Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson won immunity for Week 9. Their jazz routine to “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from Mary Poppins earned four 10s, their second perfect score in a row after the Saw-inspired contemporary on Horror Movie Night. Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy also scored 40 for a quickstep to “Be Our Guest,” and by our count Harry and Jenna Johnson went into the team round with a one-point lead in season totals, 236 to 235.
Seven couples move on to Grammy Night. Here is the leaderboard by total judges’ points after eight weeks, counting both Disney Night scores (320 points available).
| Rank | Couple | Total |
| 1 | Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson | 276 |
| 2 | Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy | 275 |
| 3 | Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach | 271 |
| 4 | Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov | 264 |
| 5 | Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas | 255 |
| 6 | Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold | 236 |
| 7 | Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik | 229 |
Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson lead by a single point. Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach, who scored 37 for a samba to “Under the Sea,” sit third. The full week-by-week breakdown is in our DWTS scores and leaderboard, and photos of every pairing are in the Season 35 cast and partners list.
Week 9 is Grammy Night on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on ABC, back in the usual Tuesday slot. It streams live on Disney+ and arrives on Hulu the next day.
