Ariana Madix remained in the competition after performing a Contemporary dance on Tuesday during Disney100 Night on Dancing With The Stars on ABC.
The 38-year-old reality star and pro partner Pasha Pashkov danced to the Oscar-nominated song Into The Unknown from Frozen II during the season 32 episode.

Ariana during rehearsal shared photos of herself when she was a theater major working at Disney World dressed up in various costumes.
‘That was the coolest experience ever,’ said Ariana, who dedicated last week’s performance to her late father.
