The remaining pairs continue Dancing with the stars on Tuesday, enchant the ballroom for the show's Disney-themed evening.

The evening was filled with inspiring performances from classic Disney films, creating moments that were both enchanting and nostalgic.

The energy was undeniable for Broadway associate choreographer Natalie Rogers-Cropper The Lion King.

“Disney is creating something so human and tangible,” she told Yahoo Entertainment. “It captures human emotion, human strength, overcoming adversity, human love for one another and for all things.”

Disney also represents “all types of people in its films,” she said. “We need art to show us who we are.”

Rogers-Cropper said discipline, technique and a great deal of imagination are essential to making meaningful connections with audiences.

“Dance is the only art form in which humans are the (only) art subject,” she said. “Those who see it say, 'I can relate.' Maybe it will remind them of how they felt on their wedding day. Whatever the case, there is a connection.”

That was true in Tuesday's episode, which began with a performance of “Friend Like Me” by Aladdinchoreographed by Mandy Moore and starring Michael James Scott, who plays Genie in the Broadway production.

In addition to their performances, participants were divided into two teams for group performances, with the results of these dances contributing to their overall results for the evening.

“Team Goof,” led by dance captain Ilona Maher and consisting of Joey Graziadei, Chandler Kinney and Jenn Tran, received all nines for their dance to “I2I.” A silly film. Meanwhile, “Team Roar,” led by captain Dwight Howard, included Danny Amendola, Stephen Nedoroscik and Phaedra Parks, who scored eight points for their performance The Lion King“I can’t wait to be king.”

At the end of the evening, Phaedra Parks performed a jazz routine to “Cruella de Vil.” 101 Dalmatians with partner Val Chmerkovskiy, were eliminated from the competition.

Parks and Howard spoke to Yahoo Entertainment about the significance of their song choice for Disney Night before entering the ballroom.

Howard said he drew parallels between himself and the character Ralph Wreck It Ralphwho is a video game villain who longs to be the good guy.

“This film shows a part of me,” he said. “Some people see me as this big, mean giant – but I have a big heart.”

As for Parks, her jazz routine may not have received enough votes to remain in the running, but the song choice was particularly significant as it was among her son's favorite songs growing up.

“This song embodies the nostalgia and joy of childhood,” she said.

Dancing with the stars returns with the episode “Halloween Nightmares,” airing October 29 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
