DWTS Season 20 “Disney Night”?

DWTS Season 20 “Disney Night”?

Val & Danica McKellar - Beauty & the Beast Quick Step 

So, I hear tell “Disney Night” is making a comeback for DWTS’ 10^TH anniversary season!! And how appropriate, seeing as how Disney owns the ABC Channel…didn’t know that? Oh, Yes! Disney has their white-gloved-fingers in A LOT of entertainment pies!

Yaaay! I love, love, love all things Disney (Who doesn’t?)!! Well, most things Disney… I was none too happy with one of their recent musical attempts, “Into the Woods”…Yuck! ...but I digress.

I did, however, absolutely LOVE what DWTS did with Disney themes in season 18: 

Amy and Derek (Amy Purdy and Derek Hough)’s Cinderella Waltz?  Sooo graceful, elegant and sweet! 

And who wouldn’t love Meryl and Maks (Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy)’s Jungle Book Samba, or 

Charlie and Sharna (Charlie White and Sharna Burgess)’s fantastic Mary Poppins Jazz routine? 

I do know a few people (myself included) who were a little more than put out when Cody and Witney (Cody Simpson and Witney Carson) were given the boot following their adorable Lion King Samba (What were y’all thinking?!), but again, I digress! 

And, of coarse, the “Wow! That was surprisingly awesome!” title would have to of gone to James and Peta (James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd)’s contemporary dance to “Let it go” from Disney’s “Frozen”!

Bottom Line: I’m super excited!!

Above video is James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd’s incredible contemporary to “Let it Go”, From the Disney movie, “Frozen” for DWTS’ season 18, week 5: Disney Night!  

This next video (above) is Charlie White and Sharna Burgess’ contribution for DWTS season 18, Finale…their unforgettable Jazz to “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” from Disney’s Mary Poppins! Of coarse, I would of loved to included a link of their original version of this dance from week 5: Disney Night but, alas! I could not find what would even be considered a half-way decent video…oh well!  There is, however, a fun, little, extra trivia nugget to be gathered from this particular (finale) version of Charlie and Sharna’s Jazz routine: Check out the part near the end of the dance where Charlie trades his cane for Sharna’s parasol, and the parasol becomes disconnected from its handle, sending the prop flying  from Charlie’s grasp and across the dance floor! It’s very possible that Charlie did this on purpose, as a comedic reference to the first time he and Sharna danced this Jazz, when poor Charlie accidentally dropped the parasol, thereby costing them a perfect score of 30 points from the judges! I did not (DO not) agree with the judges BTW…anyone can accidentally drop a prop! It’s how the competitor recovers that counts… and Gold-medal winning, Olympic figure-skater Charlie White never missed a beat!
