That means that it is only week four and the dance teams will need to learn two routines, something they normally don’t have to do until much later in the competition. But this season, there are several celebs who have a little dance background, so they should be able to pull it off. “I’m not looking forward to having to do two dances in one week and learn all that choreography,” Brian Austin Green, who is partnered with girlfriend Sharna Burgess and doesn’t have any dance background, told Parade.com. “I don’t know how we are going to learn two routines in one week, we barely learned one.” In addition, on Monday’s “Disney Heroes Night,” each couple will participate in the “Mickey Dance Challenge,” where they will be tasked with incorporating steps from Mickey Mouse into their routine. At the end of the episode, the judges will award two bonus points to the couple who best incorporates Mickey’s iconic moves. “We all have to incorporate the Mickey Dance Challenge,” Jenna Johnson, who is partnered with JoJo Siwa, said. Our dance doesn’t necessarily lend itself to that movement, so we’re going to have to get creative with it because we have to do it. We will see what everyone comes up with.” The Miz, who is partnered with Witney Carson, is especially excited about Monday night’s heroes theme because it will be the first time in his 16-year career at the WWE that he’s playing a hero.

A post shared by Dancing With The Stars #DWTS (@dancingabc) “It’s going to be nice to be noble and honorable and do things that are right. Then going into villains’ night, these are the most despicable characters, and I think we’ve gotten the most despicable of them all. He’s terrible. He will do whatever it takes to get what he wants, and it does not matter who he steps on,” said The Miz, referring to Scar from The Lion King. With her love of all things sparkly and glittery, one would think that JoJo would be looking forward to dancing to one of the Disney princess songs, but she says it isn’t so. “I will say this,” she tells Parade.com. “From the time I was little, I never wanted to wear princess dresses ever. So, what we’re doing for Disney week [dancing to a song from Cinderella] is definitely something that I’ve never done before. It’s definitely something to look forward to.” And finally, Melora Hardin, who is partnered with Artem Chigvintsev, says that both songs that they will be dancing to are songs that were selected because they are personal choices that came from different places in her life, things that she likes. “My villain is someone that I think is wonderfully hilarious, very funny, very narcissistic, and gloriously wicked," she says of her Tangled villain. “I love playing women like that so that’s going to be super fun for me. Then the other one is a choice that is based on something about my husband, so I think that’s super fun, too.”
