If you missed last night’s *Dancing with the Stars* Disney Night, let me just say—Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy didn’t just dance. They floated. They dreamed. They delivered one of those rare performances that makes you forget you’re watching a competition and just… feel something.
The number was a Viennese Waltz set to a classic Disney melody—graceful, flowing, and dripping with that signature Disney charm. Alix, in a stunning gown that moved like liquid starlight, and Val, ever the polished pro, moved as one through sweeping turns and elegant lifts. It was soft, it was emotional, and honestly? It was a moment.
So why did this performance hit so differently?
First—Alix’s growth. Let’s be real: she came into this season as a social media powerhouse, not a trained dancer. But last night? She held her own alongside Val, one of the most respected dancers in the ballroom world. Her frame was stronger, her musicality sharper, and she carried the character of the dance beautifully. You could see the work she’s put in, and the payoff was magical.
Then there’s Val—the ultimate partner. He knows how to showcase his celeb while making the dance look effortless. Their chemistry felt genuine, not forced. It wasn’t just steps; it was storytelling.
And Disney Night? The perfect backdrop. The music, the costumes, the nostalgic touch—it all came together to elevate their performance into something truly memorable.
The judges loved it. The fans are raving. And honestly? This might just be the dance that solidifies Alix as a real contender this season.
