Dancing with the Stars 2025: Season 34 Week 4 — Disney Night Dance Styles and Song Choices
Dancing with the Stars dedicates Week 4 of Season 34 to a celebration of Disney, honoring the Disneyland Resort 70th Anniversary. The 11 remaining celebrity-pro pairs will perform routines inspired by classic and contemporary Disney films, theme-park attractions, and musical moments from across the Disney universe.
Disney Night airs TUESDAY, OCT. 7 (8:00–10:00 p.m. ET/PT, 7:00–9:00 p.m. CT). The episode will be simulcast live across ABC and Disney+ in local time zones, with the episode available the following day on Hulu. Themed production numbers and a wide variety of ballroom and Latin dances give each couple a chance to bring beloved Disney songs and stories to the dance floor.
The show opens with an energetic production number set to “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast, choreographed by Mandy Moore. That number will include a guest appearance by Danny Gardner, who is currently appearing as Lumiere in the North American tour of the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast.
This week’s partner dances span several styles, including Cha Cha, Foxtrot, Jazz, Salsa, Viennese Waltz and Quickstep. Troupe sequences will support the theme with performances set to “As Alive As You Need Me To Be” from TRON: ARES and “The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room” from Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room, further immersing the audience in the park-inspired celebration.
