The "Dancing With The Stars" stage turned into a magical ballroom for the "Disney Night" episode on Monday. Similarly, the ten remaining celebrity contestants and their counterparts dressed up as our favorite characters for the fifth week of the dance competition.
Sasha Pieterse channeled a red wig and a teal gown to complete her overall look like Ariel from "The Little Mermaid" for the live performance. The actress and her dance partner, Gleb Savchenko, performed a rumba set to "Kiss the Girl" by Samuel E. Wright that earned them a score of 24 out of 30 points.
Week 5 of 'Dancing with the Stars'
Carrie Ann Inaba said she was "mesmerized" by the confidence Sasha Pieterse showed onstage and even commended her dance moves for the performance. The 21-year-old actress was also satisfied with her dance performance and how it turned out to be something she never expected.
"Disney Night is so much fun, and it's about imagination and creativity and following your dreams," she said, according to an ET Online report. "I'm so thankful for this opportunity. It's amazing."
Unfortunately, their "Little Mermaid"-themed performance was not enough to qualify them for the next round of the dance competition. Hence, Sasha Pieterse and Gleb Savchenko became the fourth "Dancing with the Stars" couple to be eliminated from the program.
Although her journey with the ABC program has come to an end, the "Geek Charming" star will always have something to look back and to be thankful for since she joined the show. In fact, the actress has said that the dance competition has helped her lose some weight after gaining about 70 pounds due to a hormonal imbalance.
"It really is the best workout," she said of the show.
"I have a lot more energy, I'm feeling great, I'm losing weight which is awesome especially for my wedding."
'DWTS' down to nine celebrities, pros
Meanwhile, Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold earned a perfect score for their performance of Dwayne Johnson's "You're Welcome" from 2016 animated film "Moana." The pair was followed by Frankie Muniz and Witney Carson with a score of 29 out of 30 points for an Argentine tango set to Rodrigo y Gabriela's "Angelica" from "Pirate of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides."
"Dancing with the Stars" is now down to nine pairs, with Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold leading the race with an average of 25.7 points after six performances. Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas secured the second spot with an average score of 24.7 points.
