[This story contains spoilers from episode four of Dancing With the Stars season 34.]
On Tuesday night, the always classic Disney Night returned to Dancing With the Stars.
Hilaria Baldwin and Gleb Savchenko were eliminated from the show at the end of the episode. Earlier in the night, she earned a 23/30 for her Star Wars-inspired quickstep number.
“This has been an incredible experience,” she said after learning the news. “I’m so grateful to all of you, and I’m grateful to my children and my family. Thank you guys for this.”
Three celebrities left the competition ahead of Disney Night, leaving Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt, Olympian Jordan Chiles, social media star Alix Earle, The Traitors season three winner (and Zac Efron’s brother) Dylan Efron, actresses Danielle Fishel and Elaine Hendrix, Pentatonix’s Scott Hoying, conservationist (and son of Steve Irwin) Robert Irwin, comedian-actor Andy Richter and Baldwin in the show’s cast, before she was eliminated.
Efron kicked off the night with a quickstep to “Life Is a Highway” from Cars. While he didn’t take part in a dance set to a song from High School Musical, which his brother notably starred in, Hoying’s salsa was set to “Bop to the Top” from the movie’s iconic soundtrack.
A seemingly common theme arose during Disney Night, with competitors promising heart-touching dances during next week’s Dedication Night if they made it through Tuesday’s live show. Efron kicked this trend off after Julianne Hough pointed out that he didn’t have a High School Musical-themed dance, to which he replied, “I have something special for next week if I’m still here,” teasing a potential routine dedicated to Zac.
Baldwin similarly told Hough she’d be hitting the ballroom floor with her husband Alec Baldwin next week if she wasn’t eliminated during Disney Night.
As for the top-scoring performers of the night, Earle earned her first trio of eights, with a total score of 24/30 for her Maleficent-themed viennese waltz. Chiles also scored a 24/30, tying her score from last week’s TikTok Night, for her quickstep to “Special Spice” from Disneyland’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride.
Though it was Leavitt who, once again, stunned the judges, earning the first nine of the season from Carrie Ann Inaba. Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough both sung Leavitt and her partner Mark Ballas additional praise, with the latter judge proudly proclaiming, “Get these two on Broadway, stat!”
Notably, Leavitt has remained as the top placing celebrity each week since the season 34 premiere. Disney Night marked the first time a singular couple pulled ahead as the sole top of the leaderboard, with Leavitt and Ballas receiving the highest score for four consecutive weeks.
Last week, Fifth Harmony’s Lauren Jauregui was eliminated during TikTok night alongside her professional dance partner Brandon Armstrong. When asked how she felt about the results, she replied, “Pissed.”
